According to Toyota, it may end up offering this amendment as an optional concession.

To enhance the image of the sports car, incorporating some taloneras side, a front skirt below the original paragolpes, a special grille and installed a huge 24-inch tires (Where are we going to get!). The headlights are different, and the body is treated bicolor. At the technical level has a turbo TRD installed under the front hood.

Toyota is already officially the first car manufacturer's mundo

And it was to be expected for some months, possibly in 2007 the Japanese Toyota became the first set as the automaker worldwide. Now that the data we have closed last year, we can confirm that this has been.

New Toyota Premio / Allion 2008



New Toyota Premio Allion 2008

Exclusive of the Japanese market, the Toyota Allion is a model situated above the Corolla Axio and virtually the same level of the Avensis, except for a slightly more cut size.

By 2008, Toyota introduced a completely new range, with very significant changes especially in the front, with more personal beacons (remind me a little of the Saturn VUE) and a grid of considerable dimensions.

Looking at the side or rear view, we see how the design is simpler, with little originality while maintaining a high level of elegance. His twin brother, the Toyota Award also receives some changes, although minor.

The interior is where we see a substantial improvement, with a high level of completion, an extensive equipment and dual-tone dashboard. Elements such as climate control, computer, bluetooth, navigation system, and so on. are available as a good vehicle that is Japanese.

With a total length of 4.6 meters, the Allion can incorporate two mechanics 1.5 liters and 1.8 liters. In addition to the automatic or CVT, you can also opt for traction front and total. Later will join the range a new two-liter engine, scheduled for later this summer.

The new prize / Allion are manufactured at the factory in Tsutsumi, Japan, and is forecasting sales of about 3,000 units per month for the prize and another 3,000 units per month for Allion.

Are GM and Toyota are working together in a hybrid?



Are GM and Toyota are working together in a hybrid?

We know that sounds weird, especially knowing that Toyota considers the Chevrolet Volt a marketing trick, but the evidence is that during the past Hall of Los Angeles was announced that consumers could access both versions of the hybrid Toyota Matrix and the Pontiac Vibe. The Vibe is made in Nummi, a facility that handled jointly GM and Toyota. As the Japanese brand already has a hybrid engine train, it is valid to ask whether GM is working on a hybrid with Toyota or if it will use technology from the latter on the new Vibe.

Bob Lutz recently said that no matter what you think of GM hybrids, made a mistake by leaving that Toyota will be positioned as a leader in the field, becoming almost synonymous with this type of vehicle. While all might be finally at a mere rumor, no one tells us that GM is not going to give us a surprise.

Toyota will export SUVs and people carriers from the U.S.



Toyota will export SUVs and people carriers from the U.S.

What was produced in the United States, stayed in America. This was more or less well for much of the products manufactured by Toyota in the country (with some notable exceptions such as Avalon), but with the dollar on the floor, things are changing.

Toyota has now announced that it will increase production of its plant in Indiana with the intention of exporting its vehicles to various growth markets. The first model in the United States will be starting from the Toyota Sequoia, a large SUV that will arrive in the Middle East later this year. Somewhat later, in 2010, the Sienna will come in the direction of China and other countries. For the moment no concrete plans have been in great detail, but look at what we can say about this during the coming days, a priori, the expiration (manufactured in Kentucky) does not seem a poor candidate for export.

Toyota could build the A-BAT



Toyota could manufacture the A-BAT

With or without a crisis, the pickups remain the vehicle for business excellence in the United States. To prevent the erosion of sales carried by oil prices, Ford, General Motors and Dodge plan to launch diesel models of "small" engine capacity from next year, thus meeting a demand that until recently seemed not exist. Toyota, meanwhile, will opt for a completely different solution. Instead of offering a more moderate engine as an alternative to 5.7 of its V8 Tundra, the Japanese manufacturer could lead to the production prototype A-BAT.


This concept truck was filed in January this year in Detroit, and to reach manufactured mechanical equipped four-cylinder, and even a hybrid option may be derived from the Camry Hybrid. Apparently Toyota has already contacted several suppliers of components, so the thing is serious. The A-BAT compete in the U.S. with the Ford Ranger, and unlike other vehicles of its type (typically chassis rails) would make use of a self. Do not ask us about their export prospects.

ToyotaSoft: Toyota is developing its own operating system



ToyotaSoft Toyota is developing its own operating system

The ECU or Electronic Control Unit of a car is very important and a modern vehicle has a number of them to be able to function properly. Toyota is working with its suppliers to create an operating system that streamlines the number of control units and the amount of code that uses these. Less control units mean less spending, more rapid development of upgrades and increased efficiency.

Currently, new software should be written from scratch for each ECU in each new model. Toyota wants to integrate the components into modular systems, which would bring cars safer, less complex and less expensive (for Toyota). With this project, the Japanese manufacturer hopes to reduce its costs in 9000 dollars.

Desarrollores teams of software are already working, and it is expected that by 2015 there is an operational version. With less control units and one operating system at the helm of all, we hope that Toyota pay attention to every detail as it is not funny remain detained for a line of poorly written code. Hopefully not follow in the footsteps of Microsoft.
