Toyota Supra


Toyota Supra is a sports car / Grand Tourer, which was produced by Toyota Motor from 1979 to 2002. Style Toyota Supra was derived from the Toyota Celica, but it was also longer and wider. Since mid-1986, Supra (third-generation, Mark III) has its own model and was no longer based on the Celica. In turn, Toyota also stopped using the prefix Celica and began just calling the car Supra. Because of the similarity and past the name of the Celica, it is often mistaken for the Toyota Supra, and vice versa.

Supra also traces much of its roots in the Toyota 2000GT with the primary instance is its engine. The first three generations were offered with a direct descendant of the Toyota Crown and to the motor M in the 2000GT. All four generations of Supra production have built 6-cylinder engine. The interior dimensions were similar, as was the chassis code "A".

Along with this name and car Toyota also included its own logo for the Supra. It is derived from the original logo, Celica, being blue instead of orange. This logo was used until January 1986 when the Supra Mark III was introduced. The new logo was similar in size, with orange writing on a red background, but without the dragon design. This logo, in turn, was on Supras until 1991 when Toyota switched to the current oval company logo. (Logo dragon logo Celica, regardless of what color he was. She appeared on the first two generations of Supra, because they were officially Toyota Celicas. Dragon logo has been used to line Celica, until it too was abandoned.)

In 1998, Toyota ceased sales Supra in the United States [5] and in 2002 Toyota officially stopped production Supra in Japan.

Toyota Hilux

Toyota Hilux is a series of compact pickup trucks are manufactured and marketed by Toyota Motor Corporation. Most countries used the Hilux name all his life in the series, but in North America, the Hilux name was retired in 1976 in favor of a truck, pickup, or Compact Truck. In North America, a popular option package, SR5 (Sport Rally 5-speed), was used as a colloquial name for the truck model, although the option package was also used on other models of Toyota, as the Corolla. In 1984, the Trekker, a tourist from version Hilux, 4Runner was renamed in Australia and North America, as well as the Hilux Surf in Japan. In 1995, Toyota introduced a new model pickup, Tacoma in the U.S., ending Hilux / pickup there. 4Runner SUV is now complete, and later models do not look like Tacoma.

Hilux has gained a reputation for exceptional durability and reliability, even during sustained heavy use and / or violence, and is often called "Indestructible Truck." This was reinforced by BBC Top Gear show car, when the 1988 diesel Hilux with 190,000 miles (310,000 km) on the odometer has been subjected to extraordinary abuse (in series 3, episodes 5 and 6). It consisted of driving him down the stairs, cleaning buildings, crashing headlong into a tree washed into the sea, and being submerged for four hours, driving it through the garden shed, dropping a caravan on it, hitting it with a wrecking ball, setting his car and bed area on fire, and, finally, to place it on top of a 240-foot (73 m) block of flats, which was destroyed following a controlled demolition. Although it was now suffering from severe structural damage, the truck is still running after the repair without spare parts, and only with the typical tools that are found in the tool box truck, such as screwdrivers, engine oil and wrench, However, WD -40 was used to get the engine after it was recovered from the sea. Hilux now rests as one of the background scenery in the studio Top Gear.

The series 2006 (series 8, episode 3), Hilux was chosen by Jeremy Clarkson as his platform for amphibious. With, Clarkson rigged the truck with a huge outboard motor, ironically made by Honda, and the steering mechanism in the pickup bed. Truck, redubbed "Toybota", Clarkson was thrown several kilometers of road and 2 miles (3.2 km) from open water, before capsizing (three meters from the finish) during rapid rotation. After restoration, the car has been moved back into the Top Studio Gear, where sure, Clarkson said that he would be only one capable of driving his truck home as it was indestructible Hilux. Nevertheless, Clarkson could not get the Hilux started - that led to his co-hosts to believe that Clarkson had finally destroyed "indestructible." When Clarkson turned the engine over, it made a hissing sound and puffing, as if the injectors or glow plug has been removed.

In 2007, Top Gear ran a special program in which Clarkson and James May raced solo Hilux 2005 model in 1996, the north magnetic pole from Northern Canada against Richard Hammond using a dog sled, and won. This episode, known as the Top Gear Polar Special, made the truck the first car to reach the magnetic North Pole. Hilux used a slightly modified: the big wheels and thicker tires were installed, a fat security guard sump was installed, the front suspension was moved forward, gun mount has been installed, some powerful headlights have been installed (although they were not needed, since it is in still polar day 11:30 pm) and the toilet seat (so-called "bumper Dumper 'by Clarkson) has been installed on the rear bumper.

In 2010, the Top Gear host James May went to change Hilux, one of which served as the vehicle crew in 2007 during the polar special and close to the top of the erupting volcano, Iceland, and a fragment of volcanic lava. Hilux has been modified for this task by installing simple metal "umbrella" and a drop of alcohol to cool their tires. This was filmed shortly before stopping all flights of the airline in this region due to volcanic ash expelled (Series 15, Episode 1).
Toyota Hilux 4x4

External TV programs, these vehicles are known to exceed 300 000 miles (480000 km) with regular maintenance. Also notorious for being used as an improvised fighting vehicle, "technical" -. Militias and irregular armed forces, especially in third world conflicts Toyota War between Libya and Chad was so named because of the use Hilux trucks, cars, the cavalry in the army of Chad. These vehicles were also used in the war in Iraq, as improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The militia is known to equip the car with stolen, the post-Soviet missiles and equipment. Toyota Hilux war saw use as a towing vehicle, serving to tow planes and tanks, including T-62 heavy tank from the former Soviet Army. There are currently 37 individual Hiluxes used People's Liberation Army in the southern region of China. Toyota Hilux has been widely used by the Pakistani army. However, Mitsubishi L200s were purchased, rather than the seventh generation Hilux recently to replace worn-out vehicles. New Zealand Army currently uses a Toyota Hilux for its troops in Afghanistan under Operation Enduring Freedom. U.S. special forces also use specially modified Tacoma and Hilux in Afghanistan.

In October 2007 the Swedish magazine Auto Teknikens Värld runs a red herring (moose test), which showed that mobility Hilux pickup truck was not enough to turn sharply at moderate speeds. Truck failed the test and only the driver's skill prevented it from overturning. After the test Toyota stopped the sales of Hilux is equipped with 16 inch wheels in Europe.

The world record was achieved thanks to the support crew for the participants 2008/2009 Amundsen Omega 3 South Pole Race. The crew rode in a specially adapted Hiluxs Toyota Trucks Arctic change, completing a trip of more than 5,000 km from Novo, the Russian research station in Antarctica at the South Pole Geographic and back, making them the first 4x4 to reach the South Pole. The way back to 2500 km from South Pole station Novo completed in a record eight days and 17 hours.

Riding on the same platform as MC, which underpins the Camry, Prius, RAV4, Venza and the Highlander, Toyota seeks new Sienna on the new families who need more space, a traditional sedan or SUV can provide. Toyota also hopes that empty nesters will give new consideration to their sumptuous Sienna and spacious interior.

The new car on the market today, Toyota Camry is no longer at the forefront. Although the plate Camry is almost synonymous with "family sedan" is now behind the segment leaders such as Hyundai Sonata in such areas as fuel economy, for example, and its design is far from fresh. But in terms of finance, it remains a decent choice.

That's why we give 2011 Toyota Camry overall score of 6 out of 10 on a scale FamilyCarGuide. Though her soft style, mid-pack performance, impressive interior use, and for the safety assessment is unlikely to win friends, Camry continues to offer good value for money plus a number of models, like the Camry Hybrid, with all the requirements. It's just in urgent need of updating to bring it to a higher standard sedans today.

Prior to the earthquake in Japan, Toyota Prius sales target in 2011, which would peak in 2007 the top car on 181 221. Although this level may be out of reach for now, Toyota may still exceed supply in 2010 on 140 928, said Donald Esmond, senior vice president of Toyota's U.S. sales.

Toyota Sign

New Toyota mark at Wrigley Field is uglier than expected.

The controversial sign, which was erected hastily after the Cubs get City Council approval of the environment is a wart on the face of the great lady of baseball - a highly visible intrusion of advertising in the ballpark that fans of the prize just because exempts from ad clutter.

The public got its first look at the sign on Friday and the Cubs White Sox square off in what used to be called Crosstown Classic and we now know, in another bow to the almighty dollar, as BP Crosstown Cup. Leave it to the Cubs to associate themselves with the sponsors - a reviled for recalled cars, and the other for its oil spill - who is to strengthen the team's reputation as perennial losers.

An increase of about 50 feet above the sidewalk, the sign consists of two steel posts holding the letters, which detail "Toyota" and the company's ubiquitous, three-ovaled logo. The sign is not quite at the back of the left field stands, as Cubs originally planned, but a few feet inside - a shift that allowed city officials to wink, nod, and said that it is indeed a sign of the interior, and therefore does not affect the outer limits signs at Wrigley .

Anyone who looks at a sign from Waveland Avenue instantly recognize this line of reasoning, what it was: pure fiction. The sign that hangs over the stands, no more than a sign of internal Cubs first place team.

Two posts to support short and square, like a square version of Gumby. They did not come close to matching beautifully proportioned, highly articulated steel used in the elegant standards of Wrigley light on the roof or anywhere else around the football field. But at least the posts are painted dark green, shades Wrigley respective trademark instead of the original plans squeal red.

Toyota logo and the letters that are more muted red, as they face inward to the stadium still looks completely out of place. A little red in order Wrigley as color accent, as in the discreet "Hey Hey" signs on the foul pole. All that is more than a spot of tension and aggression in the stadium, which as the name implies, a park-setting, wrapping you into the arms of the green. (Fortunately, the rear emblem and the letters facing Waveland, green).

Assorted part of the sign to create a whole that is clearly vertical, almost rudely interrupting the continuous horizontal sweep podium, which was supposed to be protected by official landmark status Wrigley. Shame on the Commission on Chicago landmarks, appointed keepers of historical treasures of Chicago, for the approval of the sign. All employees of the commission did perfume the pig, insisting on the tricks, such as replacing internal illumination for the sign with a small design fixtures that mimic those on the Centerfield scoreboard Wrigley.

In any other stadium, a sign, as it would not matter. But Wrigley is not any other stadium. Designed by Zachary Taylor Davis, and opened in 1914, with additions such prominent architects as Holabird & Root, is the second oldest stadium in the majors - Boston Fenway Park over two years - and the return of a loved one.

The stadium, well ordered and pastoral, is Eden. Its surrounding neighborhood, the chaotic and commercial implies, Paradise Lost. One of them is sacred, the other profane. Sharply defined the tension between these opposites that gives Wrigley its uniquely powerful sense of place. The sign does not destroy that person, but this is hardly innocuous insert that Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts said that it would be. The best thing about him is that it's not permanent. It can be dismantled as quickly as it was displayed.

And it is worth considering because, after three years, ill-conceived transaction Cubs "from Toyota is not over.

Why sign there in the first place? If you think Cubs, it's not there to hide the view of colorful casino horseshoe sign on the roof of the building at the northeast corner of Waveland and Kenmore Avenue. It's there, in the opinion of the team, to my present location for what it's worth it.

Other around Wrigley, the Cubs get 17 percent of gross income to reduce the roof of the owners. At the northeast corner of Waveland and Kenmore, there's no roof seats - and, thus, neither team revenue. The building with the horseshoe casino sign as the gap in the row of teeth. Fill this gap with revenue-generating rooftop perch, maybe even (hold on Cubbie blue hat) with tasteful electronic scoreboard, and you could have done more than close the circle around the roof Wrigley. You would do away with the financial incentive for an ugly mark Toyota.

Toyota began, as we know it in 1937 with the establishment of Toyota Motor Company, Ltd., however, before the actual launch of the automotive business for many years of research had taken place. The founder of Toyota, Kiichiro Toyoda, came to the U.S. and Europe to learn about the technology of their manufacture. Prior to this he spent nearly six years in research. This has allowed Toyota, to get a running start and almost immediately the style of modern production methods are already in place, for example, "just in time" production "system is a creative proposal idea." By 1960, Toyota Central Research and Development Laboratories, Inc was created and Technical Center Toyota USA, Inc was created thereby paving the way for sales in the U.S. market. Today, Toyota sells more cars in the U.S. than any other manufacturer, except for GM. Many experts predict that the market share of Toyota in the U.S. will continue to grow . In 2007, Toyota had stolen the crown of GM, as the largest automaker in the world. The most popular car in North America today is the Toyota Camry. Much of the success of Toyota is striving for quality. Toyota cars legendary reliability and satisfaction surveys regularly top clients around the world. In fact, you rarely see Toyota is not coming in the top 3 for every survey for the last 10 years. Hoteliers Toyota is the very essence of the stress of cars.
