A Preview of Toyota’s New Concept

Toyota FT-CH conceptI have to admit, I sometimes find Toyota’s vehicles a little … mediocre. It’s not that I dislike them, not it all. It is just that, more often than not, I only like them — they do not really stand out as anything more than decent vehicles. There are always exceptions to that, however, and this is one of them.

“This” refers to Toyota’s new concept, the FT-CH, which was unveiled at the NAIAS for 2010. The potential future production boldly wore the badge of the Prius.

This particular concept is a four seater and it was both designed and created in Nice, France, which is where Toyota’s European based design center, called ED2, is located.

In general, the FT-CH is smaller than the Prius, not to mention the fact that it weighs less and is said to have even greater fuel efficiency.

2010 Toyota Camry: Toyota launches in South Korea to battle Hyundai

2010 Toyota Camry

In this economy, I think that there is really only one automaker that is really doing really well and that is Toyota.  The Pruis is one car that is doing exceptional but without that – I have to say that Toyota seems to want to take over the world!  This Japanese auto-maker is truly fighting for their life as Hyundai is racking up the sales.

So when Hyundai released their 2010 cars in Korea, do you want to know what Toyota just did?  Well, the 2010 Toyota Camry is making its way on over and honestly; I think that the 2010 Toyota Camry entering into the Korean market is a fantastic idea!

If you live in Korea and you have been waiting for the 2010 Toyota Camry – it’s on its way!  I can promise you that!

Toyota IQ Roadster: It’s One Sexy Car!

toyota-iq-roadsterPersonally, I have been waiting for the Toyota IQ Roadster to come out – while I know, in the back of my mind that I will never, in life be able to afford one, I think that just knowing that it is out and just knowing that people are driving it around on the roads is enough for me.  Personally, I think that the Toyota IQ Roadster is one of those cars that people are constantly going to be looking at and constantly coveting – I know that I am!

With the main engine a 1.3 liter, 6-speed manual gearbox and for the ability for it to go from 0 – 60 it seems within just a few seconds?  This car is going to be snapped right up and I think that is so friggin’ cool!  The price is actually pretty good too, just $20,000 in Japan, however, I have no idea what the Toyota IQ Roadster is going to be in the US – we’ll have to wait for pricing on that.

So watch out people, new pictures are just the beginning of the Toyota IQ Roadster’s life!
