TOP 10 VEHICLES IN THE CARIBBEAN: TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS
Tumblr media
It is said that travel forms youth. For car enthusiasts of all kinds, they help to strengthen their automotive culture, because when you leave North America, you discover creations that you don’t even know exist.
As you can imagine, we wouldn’t miss the opportunity to bring you back some pictures of models seen during a visit to the Caribbean in February. On the menu are two galleries that present you with different realities. The first one is about one of the smallest islands of Turks and Caicos, Grand Turk. A second gallery will follow on some fascinating models seen on the islands of Curaçao and Aruba.
1 — Jeep Wrangler
No matter where you set foot on the planet, you’ll find Jeep Wranglers. And everywhere, the craze is the same. A vehicle as planetary as it is mythical. The rental companies that offer them to tourists abound and the latter are ready to pay the big price to explore a new country at the wheel of this adventurer.
Note this edition, with a right-hand drive. Many of the island’s vehicles come directly from Japan.
2 – Toyota Carina
The Toyota Carina is a car that was born in 1970 and whose career ended in 2001. It is normal that you don’t know it, since it has never been offered here. Elsewhere, it has always been seen as a four-door variant of the Celica, the model with which it shared its seats.
It can be seen as a cousin of the Corona, and also of the Corolla to a lesser extent. The model photographed was marketed from 1996 to 2001 and represented the seventh and last generation.
3 — Nissan Wingroad
The Wingroad station wagon is also a car that we would be hard pressed to know, as it has not been marketed here or in Europe. On the other hand, the Caribbean was on its list of export destinations, so we find it there. The edition captured on the spot was offered from 1999 to 2005 and was equipped with a 4-cylinder 2-litre engine.
4 – SsangYong Actyon Sport
At home, we identify the Korean automobile industry through the creations of Hyundai and Kia, but we shouldn’t forget the smaller firm SsangYong. The latter is the fourth largest in South Korea and since 2011, it is owned by the Indian manufacturer Mahindra.
As for the Actyon model, it’s primarily a compact SUV, but a pickup truck is also available.
Interestingly here, the vehicle’s licence plate indicates that it’s a local government model.
5 — Hummer… ou trappe à touristes
A miniature Hummer? Such a thing has never existed, of course. However, one company did not hesitate to exploit the name by promising Hummer excursions. When you see the car in disguise, you can’t help but smile.
6 — Nissan March
We will have known only one generation of the modern Nissan Micra, the one that the Japanese manufacturer has proposed to us from 2015 to 2019, inclusively (even if 2019 models will still be available this year).
Here’s what the previous generation looked like in Japan, the one offered between 2002 and 2010 elsewhere in the world.
7 — Mazda Demio
Back home, we know the Mazda Demio as the… Mazda2. In fact, before it became a sub-compact, it took the form of a small SUV. The photographed version belongs to the second generation, marketed between 2002 and 2007. And, as you can see, the rust problem that we experienced with the brand’s products during this period doesn’t spare the models that enjoy a much more pleasant climate. Note that salt has the ability to wreak havoc there. To protect your car there, it is often necessary to apply a sealant.
8 — Honda Inspire
The model you see in this photo is not a Honda Accord, but a model named Inspire. It’s actually a Japanese version of the seventh-generation Accord.
Throughout its history, the Inspire has sometimes been a derivative of an Acura and sometimes a Honda Accord. Production ceased in late 2012 with the arrival of the eighth generation Accord, but resumed in 2018 with the debut of the ninth.
9 — Toyota Vitz
Since its debut in the late 1990s in Japan, the model known as Echo, then Yaris in our country, has been known as the Vitz in Japan. In Canada, let’s remember that it made its debut in 2003 under the name Echo.
10 — Nissan Lafesta
The Nissan Lafesta is a family vehicle that was offered by Nissan on the Asian markets from 2004 to 2017. The name Festa is taken from the Italian and represents celebration, family moments, etc. It is based on Nissan’s C platform and its bases were also used for the Renault Megane, but also for the XTrail SUV we knew back home.
If we had photographed a second-generation model, you would have recognized it as the… Mazda5. Yes, Mazda had supplied the vehicle to its rival Nissan.
11 – Toyota Sprinter
The Toyota Sprinter is a variant of the Toyota Corolla. Only distributed in Asia, it was always intended to be a sportier version of the one that remains the best-selling model on the planet today. To trace its origins, you have to go back to 1968.
12 — Toyota Ractis
While sub-compact SUVs have been the law in Canada for the past few years, the format was introduced much earlier elsewhere on the planet. In 2005, Toyota introduced an SUV version of the Vitz, our Yaris, in Japan. The model was produced until the end of 2017.
13 — Mazda Demio
Here’s the Mazda Demio again, but this time in a sub-compact car configuration. This version has made a career under the name Mazda2 with us.
14 — Toyota Voxy
Let’s end our first Caribbean tour with the Voxy model at Toyota. In fact, this one is basically known as the Noah in the Asian markets. The Voxy version is a sportier variant of the model, a common practice in Japan. A more “luxurious” variant called Esquire is also a member of this family. This wagon can accommodate seven or eight people and is still produced for the markets there.

2018 Resolutions
Well hi there! Happy New Year!
Did everyone have a nice holiday season? Ready to get back to the grind? Yeah, me neither! I am, per usual, sick. I happen to always get sick right around the 1st of the year…a bit annoying. Sinuses/head cold and I am looking and sounding really attractive! I thought I was feeling better on Sunday…but I spoke too soon…
Anyways…wow did I start this new year post off on a negative note. New year same old Kelly!
Anywho, I thought I would do something that is extremely usual and put together some resolutions for the new year. I know this is a super novel idea, but once people hear about this concept I bet it will catch on.
This year is going to be a little different for us…in that a baby is coming in May and we have NO IDEA what to expect with that…so these resolutions are, for lack of a better word, fluid.
Resolution #1: Read 36 books (3 books a month). I understand that when one has a baby one is sleep deprived…so come May my book consumption may decline, or I may be super mom and just let my baby cry while I read. Too soon to tell.  I want to read more nonfiction, many of my favorite reads from last year were nonfiction…so I think there is something there!
Resolution #2: Pay off my student loans. Guys…I had over six figures in student loans (Neil had a lot too – but we paid those off already!) and I am chipping away one month at a time to get these bad boys paid off. We started aggressively attacking them in June and have brought the amount down significantly and I am cautiously optimistic that we can pay them off this year…maybe even in less time. But I have heard that having a baby cost money. And we need a new car because our two-door Toyota Celica will probably not work for a baby …so it gets tricky. Do we pay off my higher interest rate loans ASAP (6.2%) and then pay only the monthly minimum on the lower interest rate ones (2.2% and 3.0) so we can put more money towards a car? Decisions, decisions. If we cannot pay them off this year…I want the amount we owe, by the end of 2018, to be in the single digits at least.
Resolution #3: put more time into the relationships in my life. As I get older (and wiser and more beautiful) I realize I don’t have time for people in my life that don’t matter. No seriously, why would I waste time on people that mean little to me when I barely have time for the people that mean the most to me? I am done fostering relationships because of a sense of obligation. While I have slowly been gravitating towards this mindset, I am now full-steam ahead. I have a handful of extremely important people in my life and I want to ensure that those people know that I care about them. For example, one of my best friends, Amanda, lives in Colorado. We have not lived in the same state since 2003, yet we have maintained our close friendship for 15 years – why? Because she means the world to me (and I think she likes me too). Same with Katy, Jamie, my undergrad and law school friends. I was fortunate to be able to catch up with a few of them while I was home last week and it reminded me that these are the people who I want to maintain relationships with. I have a hard-enough time seeing Cheryl and Mike and they live right down the hall from us! 
Resolution #4: navigating the impending disruption in our lives with patience. I am not sure if you recall but when we got Snoop I had a hard time adjusting…I don’t think I liked her for a few months…well come May we are welcoming a human into the world and I think that adjustment may be just as challenging (probably even more so because I cannot crate train a baby…well…maybe you can??). While we are excited about having a baby, we (or at least I, don’t want to speak for Neil) have moments where we think “what have we done, our lives are over”… so I am a bit of a hot mess. I have a great partner in Neil and we make a good team, so I am going to be cautiously optimistic and declare we are going to dominate parenthood…but more than likely we will fail 100 times a day and I need to be okay with that. While having a baby isn’t a new concept, it is new to us (very new – we don’t know really anything about newborns/kids/toddlers/kids) and while I know we will figure it out…I need to exercise patience.
Resolution #5 – prioritize me and my relationship with Neil. I have heard that when you have a baby you need to be selfless and put the baby first – while that is all fine and dandy, I need to make sure that I continue to take care of myself (physically and (more importantly) mentally) and my relationship with Neil. I get it, our lives will change and everything, but if I don’t work and we (me and Neil) don’t work – then nothing works.
Resolution #6 – get back into running…slowly. I haven’t been doing my Sunday runs because of the holidays and the icy roads, not worth it, but I do miss it. I would love to start running again, more consistently, after I have the baby. I understand that I will be VERY out of shape and I have no expectations except to just start from scratch. Running was not a priority for me in 2017, I have been doing yoga and barre – which has been great, but I do want to flirt with running again come summer time.
That’s it. Those are my resolutions. Many of them are not SMART (specific, measurable, realistic, timely (cannot remember what A stands for)) – but I think this whole year will not be SMART so I am just jumping on the bandwagon now!
Thanks for reading!

The Toyota GR Yaris is better then you think
Tumblr media
Toyota is a brand that is recovering very strongly. But not in the financial sense. With one of the world's largest manufacturers and a strong year-end sales report for 2019 in its pocket, Toyota is certainly considering any help. The attack talks about his reputation - his street credibility. The Supra went out of production in 2002 and was followed shortly after by Celica (a shell of the car it once was), with Toyota gaining a reputation for playing it safe and accompanying the lineup without inspiring projects Tracked sales volume. , The 2012 GT86 return was a small step in the right direction, and the 2018 Corolla hatchback signaled Toyota's return to size, but the GR Yaris may be worth more than the 2020 Suppa for Toyota.
Tumblr media
This time of boredom from the early 00s was a turning point for the recent Toyota boss Akiya Toyoda. He has motorsport in his veins to improve, has taken a racing driver through and through. It was not fair to see that his company was a milkcast in the United States. So he gave the green lights to cars like the 2020 Supara, led the development of the 2018 Corolla hatchback and led Toyota's new GR (Gazoo Racing) performance field in 2017. Knowing that Toyota has an image problem in the United States and the United States, he is determined to fix it. The GT86 and Supra certainly make a statement as to what kind of cars Toyota can build, but these two-door sports cars are marketed almost exclusively by enthusiasts - a small group of die-hard fans who can afford Neither way represents the average car buyer. Probably also the TRD series, which until recently was driven only by off-road vehicles and trucks and which only attracts a small group of customers. Transforming the boring yet high-selling Corolla hatchback into a boring and incredibly manageable car, Toyota quietly drove over 300,000 fun cars in US workshops last year alone. That is a large number of people who abstain from purchasing certain cars because "performance" was a priority when purchasing a Corolla with a balanced chassis, lively engine, and leaky gear. And now, after the impression of an inexpensive Toyota buyer, a beige indulgent rental car, this is an inexpensive sporty hatchback. The GR Yaris, largely inspired by the World Rally Championship racing cars, could be another win for Toyota in the United States, but will no longer make it to the United States. Which is a big disappointment given the technical datasheet? It is delivered with a 1.6-liter in-line three-cylinder with 268 hp and 273 lb-ft and is delivered to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The body gets exaggerated torches and lines and the chassis also gets a GR tune for good dimensions. All of this for around $ 36,000, with the even more powerful version priced at around $ 42,000.
Tumblr media
Since Toyota has left no indication that it will ship the GR Yaris to our shores, it has missed an opportunity to help Toyota rebuild its road. Given that Toyota sold only 20,000 Yaris models in the US in 2019, it could be argued that the numbers justify the introduction of a niche model. However, Toyota is already planning to build a small number of GR Yaris in 2020 to reduce damage to shipping. Providing people with a more affordable, accessible and comprehensive option that offers Toyota's best is an easy win. More importantly, the presence of Toyota is another major step in people's eyes.

This Just In: Airbag Recalls
A new round of voluntary recalls is affecting more than 5-million vehicles made by Japan’s top two automakers.  The problem: airbags.
Toyota is conducting a safety recall of about 2.9 million vehicles.  They say the problem is an electronic control unit that may not be adequately protected against certain electrical noise that can occur in certain crashes.  Toyota says, “This can lead to incomplete or nondeployment of the airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners.”  This voluntary recall affects certain 2011-2019 Model Year Corolla, 2011-2013 Model Year Matrix, 2012-2018 Model Year Avalon, and 2013-2018 Model Year Avalon Hybrid vehicles in the United States. Toyota says dealers will be inspecting the vehicles to see if they need a filter, although the company also says in most cases, dealers will install a noise filter for free.  Toyota plans to notify owners by the middle of March.
Another voluntary recall involves 139,000 Toyota vehicles in the United States.  In this case the vehicles have a front driver airbag with a single-stage non-azide front driver airbag inflator made by Takata. The announcement by Toyota says, “According to information provided by Takata, the airbag may not deploy properly.”  This recall centers around certain vehicles: 1998–2000 Model Year Toyota RAV4, 1998–1999 Model Year RAV4 EV, 1998–1999 Model Year Celica and 1997–1998 Model Year Supra.  While Toyota is investigating a way to fix the problem, they’ll notify owners by mail by the end of March.
Honda is also announcing a voluntary recall involving approximately 2.4 million Acura and Honda vehicles in the United States.  Although they point out this is “not related to prior Takata airbag inflator recalls” they say this is a “different inflator type with a different defect.”
This situation involves what’s known as NADI inflators.  Honda says the inflators were made without appropriate seals, and that “may allow air and moisture to leak into the inflators over an extended period, causing propellant degradation.”  If that happens, Honda says during a crash the airbag “may deploy too slowly or, in very rare cases, too forcefully, rupturing and throwing metal pieces of the inflator toward vehicle occupants.”
Honda plans to notify owners about the problem beginning the middle of March, and then again when replacement parts are available.
Here’s a list of the models included in this recall:
  Acura:
1997-1998 2.2CL
1997-1999 3.0CL
1998-1999 2.3CL
2001-2002 3.2CL
2001-2002 MDX
1998-2003 3.5RL
1999-2001 3.2TL
  Honda:
1998-2000 Accord (Coupe and Sedan)
1996-2000 Civic (Coupe and Sedan)
1997-2001 CR-V
1998-2001 Odyssey
1997-1998 EV Plus

What’s up with brands building “sporty” economy cars, but refusing to build legit performance cars? via /r/cars
What’s up with brands building “sporty” economy cars, but refusing to build legit performance cars?
This has been on my mind for a while now. Just as a side note, a lot of what I talk about here is directed at Toyota/Lexus. TLDR at the end because this is gonna be a novel.
My family recently bought a Toyota RAV4 and I have to say it's by far one of the weirdest cars we've owned in a while. Allow me to explain, for a raised, 5-seater, economical compact-crossover, it's a fine car. Where the weirdness comes in is with Toyota's "sporty intentions" with it.
First comes with the harsh ride, and my god is it awful. I've sat in Corvettes and Mustangs and this rides just barely better than those. You feel literally EVERYTHING from lane markers to small bumps (road repairs and that stuff). This thing makes sewer covers feel like a 3-inch deep pothole.
Then when you hop inside, this car has drive modes, which most cars these days have. But the weird thing is this car has a sport mode. Why the hell does a RAV4 need a sport mode? So I can cut my 0-60 time by 0.001 seconds while revving it up to 3k? Or maybe so I can take corners at 25 mph instead of 20, no wait this thing doesn't have variable suspension. Maybe it's so I can hear that beautiful 2.5L 4-cyl singing through my speakers. Jokes aside, I still haven't found out what sport mode really does besides lower my MPG as acceleration seems the same as it is in normal mode. It blows my mind that even the Sienna has a sport trim (yes, I know it has for a while).
Now that brings me to my point, again this is directed more toward Lexus and Toyota. I'm really confused as to why Toyota decides to move and even market their cars as sporty vehicles, while completely ignoring the potential they have in the actual sports car market (not to mention the performance cars in their lineup already). We have a good example of that in the RC F, power wise it's decent, however it's transmission is far too lacking. It shifts so horribly bad, it makes me feel like I'm driving a Camry SE. Funnily enough my RAV4 shifts faster (that 8-speed is pretty quick actually). Many journalists/youtubers have covered this, but the main problem with the RC F is that Toyota refuses it make it into the beast it could be. It's as if they emphasize comfort over performance (despite it being an 'F' model), but market it as a sports car.
Another example is the Lexus IS, more notably the IS 350. It still uses the SAME 3.5L V6 that the previous generation used (I believe they recently rolled out a refreshed version of it for the 2018 model year). My biggest problem is that we never got an IS F version this generation. Just give us an NA V8, dual-clutch IS F and that would sell all day. But what does Lexus give us an F version of? Their GS sedan, which probably shouldn't even exist in their lineup anymore. I have NEVER seen anyone driving around in a GS F. Why? What good does pairing SAME V8 the previous IS F used with a 4000 lb, behemoth of a sedan. What is the intention there, what audience does a car like that target? That makes me wonder why Lexus also didn’t just re-use that engine for a new IS F. Also did I mention the GS F has that same torque-converter the RC F uses?
With Toyota, they only have two performance focused vehicles. One could use a lot of improvement in every aspect (especially in the power department). As for the other, well let's just say people don't call it a Toyota. However, that's not to say that the Supra isn't a legit sports car, I won't take anything away from it. But just like everyone else I have to make mention the fact that the Supra doesn't use a Toyota engine. I'm not going to poke fun or anything as I honestly don't care, but I want to see Toyota/Lexus push out a legit sports car of their own. Something that makes me go, "hey, that could give the M4 a run for its money!" The same brand that gives almost every single of its consumer models an "SE" or "F-Sport" trim, can't even produce a sports car that comes close to the competition (excluding the Supra I guess).
I don't want a Sienna SE that I can shred back roads in, or a RX F-Sport I can run a 12 second quarter mile in. I want an honest to god, 2-door or 4-door sports sedan/coupe with healthy power, no torque converter, good driving dynamics, and NO HYBRID (don't get me started on the LC).
Now I know what you're thinking by now. I'm missing the whole point, as it's more about markets and profit. Obviously a RAV4 is going to sell far more than something like the Supra. My point isn't that Toyota should focus more on building performance vehicles. The point is that if Toyota actually put an effort into building a legit performance car, they could easily rival German sports cars. They're going to win the compact crossover segment for years to come, they’ve already been doing that. But the average person isn't walking into a Toyota dealership to buy a RAV4 because they think it's "sporty." The same reason no one buys an RC F because it's "luxurious." I don't think I'll ever understand Toyota's priorities. Quit giving us grandtourers no one besides new retirees will drive (Looking at the LC). Give enthusiasts a reason to take interest in the brand. Anytime Lexus or even the Supra for that matter comes up in a sports car conversation, it's hard not to laugh.
It’s sad that the brand that once gave us the MKIV Supra, Celica, IS F, 2000 GT and Corolla AE86 has devolved their performance brand into making the Camry look like a sports car (Quad exhausts!!!11).
Sorry I had to just get this out there. This is one of those things I just wake up in the middle of the night and think about. As a Toyota/Lexus guy, this has been annoying.
TLDR; Stop giving us sporty economy cars like the RAV4 SE and RX F-Sport that we don't need/want. Give us something that actually excites us, preferably something that doesn't have BMW written all over it.
Let me know what your thoughts are.

The 5 Finest New Netflix Presents From April 2018.
Are you enthusiastic regarding the vehicle industry and also feel you have something to deliver as an independent entrepreneur? QNX is actually notable for being among the few modern technology companies collaborating along with the automobile market to change with dignity into this following wave from connected automobiles. This stated, "Nephew, figured you failed to yearn for a nostalgic birthday party memory card, thus you're obtaining this ape card as an alternative." When opened, the primate newhealthytips2018.info stood out ahead with its upper arms out as if connecting.
Tumblr media
In today times, a lot of renowned labels like Ford and also others provide services like after purchase solution, automobile manufacturer's warranties, fixings companies, and substitution of components which bring in lots of people to acquire these contemporary cars and trucks given that they supply present day commercial infrastructure energy assortment for consumers. Think of taking that 18 horse power engine of your office lawn mower as well as outing that in to a car. When his motor vehicle attacked a truck on the A90 Dundee-Aberdeen roadway near Forfar on Tuesday evening, as well as a van driver was actually killed. Nevertheless, if that claims that the car will be offered as is actually", this suggests that the dealership is not responsible for the situation from the lorry. While the AWD lorries are actually not as aggressive as a 4-wheel travel car, they tend to offer a give-and-take from much better fuel gas mileage, while still offering much higher footing control for on-road managing. Lots of people state their automobile is actually a "lemon" yet it is actually a legal term related to a very small number from motor vehicles. In other words, this is actually the car manufacturer's reinterpretation of those lorries. I got much more fired up regarding the relevant information I uncovered on the rental auto business compared to with any program I ever before created for the business.
Tumblr media
Basically, inside the undertaking you produce heaps, in the largely booming location, consequently you additionally park primarily exactly where a good deal of people as well as motor vehicles crucifix through, at that point there exists a superior chance that you prefer to just will obtain chosen to participate in these bargains. Chevrolet really isn't the only supplier that is actually placing CarPlay inside some of its own autos - Honda, Cadiallac, Audi, Vehicle, Ford, Subaru as well as others consider to supply that - however Chevy is one of the first to market. Long gone are actually the days from cars and trucks just having the capacity to last concerning 100,000 miles.

Toyota at long last affirmed the rebound of the Supra finally week's 2018 Geneva International Motor Show, where the automaker additionally flaunted a not at all subtle idea of the new games auto that would bear the famous nameplate. The new Supra has been quite a while comingâ€"the last one bowed out of creation in 2002â€"but there's as yet a while to go until we the last auto. The uncover won't occur until 2019, with the presentation in all probability occurring at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit next January. With so far to go, Toyota naturally is staying silent on specs. In any case, we figured out how to take in a couple of points of interest on the auto subsequent to conversing with its central specialist, Tetsuya Tada, at the presentation of the GR Supra Racing idea a week ago in Geneva. Toyota focused on the new Supra in 2011 however work didn't generally begin until the point when the next year when Tada got together with BMW, which was hoping to recharge its Z4, to decide if a games auto organization was conceivable. Toyota and BMW at that point took an additional two years to figure out which components could be shared and which should have been produced freely. The auto's inward code is A90 The “90” decorated on the sides of the GR Supra Racing idea is a reference to the new Supra's A90 inward code. The first Celica-based Supra was the A40, and the three ages that took after were the A60, A70 and A80. Tada's coach built up the past Supra Tada took in his exchange from Isao Tsuzuki, who drove the advancement of the last Supra. He already utilized exercises gained from his tutor to sharpen the 86 sports auto, and now he's dealing with the new Supra. Nonetheless, Tada first began as a suspension build for more commonplace models like the Corolla. Tada looked for input from Supra fans for the new auto. He and his group talked with proprietors at occasions to ensure the new Supra satisfies what he called the car’s “fanatical” U.S. fan base. What's more, at the highest priority on the rundown of absolute necessities was an inline-6 motor (additionally essential was a front motor/raise drive design). Luckily for Toyota, its accomplice in the undertaking, BMW, had quite recently the motor. Anticipate that the new Supra will be fueled by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 in standard pretense. An all the more intense rendition with half and half innovation is a solid plausibility, be that as it may. Subjectively, we consider toyota supra jz 2 is some discussion that needed in the web.

The Road Travelled: History of the Toyota Camry
The Toyota Camry is a car most people never think about — not even the nearly 10 million owners who fire up the mid-size sedan’s ignition each and every morning on their way to work. That’s because all the Camry does is win, posting industry-leading sales numbers year after year as Toyota’s most compelling success story. How did the current Camry evolve to its current status as the ruler of all family sedans? Check out our timeline charting the progression of the Toyota Camry from challenger to champion. 1983-1986: Growing Pains The Camry name is a rough porting of the Japanese word for Crown (kanmuri), with the latter having graced important Toyota sedans since the mid-1950s. After spending a few years wandering the wastelands of its home market’s compact segment under the Celica Camry banner, the Toyota Camry as we now know it went on sale in America as a 1983 model. Labeled internally with the code “V10,” the Camry sedan and its hatchback lineup mate offered a front-wheel-drive layout matched with the choice between a 1.8-liter or 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, with output for the larger motor peaking at 95 horsepower by 1985. There was even a short-lived turbodiesel model, which used a standard five-speed manual gearbox (gas cars could option a four-speed automatic). In some ways, the shift from rear-wheel-drive Corona to front-wheel-drive Camry was instigated by Honda’s success in the U.S. with the Accord, which had debuted a few years earlier. Toyota pushed out the Camry’s dimensions so that it was bigger and more comfortable at all seating positions than the vehicle that would become its biggest rival. Fun fact: Toyota also worked hard at the beginning of the ’80s to convince Ford to work together on vehicle development, even going so far as to suggest that the Camry be built at a Ford plant. Blue Oval leadership declined the offer, and the Camry would go on to sell close to 130,000 examples in its first two years of production. See Also: Where are They Now? How Five Iconic Cars Changed Over the Years 1987-1991: Learning The Ropes Still square and mechanically mostly the same — save for a move to a 16-valve version of its 2.0-liter engine that was capable of producing 115 horsepower, and internal improvements to the optional autobox — the second-generation Toyota Camry that debuted as a 1987 model focused on refinement, rather than revolution. The car’s body became more aerodynamic, a wagon joined the lineup for the first time, and buyers began to notice that Toyota was stuffing the Camry with higher-quality components and materials than what could be found in mid-size American sedans of the same era. The 1988 model year would introduce the Camry’s first V6 engine, a 2.5-liter unit that offered 153 horsepower and dual-overhead cams. Amazingly, not only did Toyota continue to offer the manual gearbox with the V6, but it initially made it a requirement for any buyer who wanted to add All-Trac all-wheel-drive to the mix (the second-gen Camry was the only version of the car to ever be offered with all-wheel drive). The following year Toyota began building the Camry in Georgetown, Kentucky, marking off an important milestone for the Japanese automaker in its quest to solidify an American foothold. 1992-1996: Bigger, Better Camry By the time the early ’90s rolled around, the Camry was no longer an outsider, but a regular challenger for the sleepy Detroit giants who had taken family buyers for granted throughout the past decade (with the exception of the well-received Ford Taurus sedan). The third iteration of the car got even more serious about courting Americans with a six-inch boost in overall length and a typical increase in width that helped it truly qualify for mid-size status. Toyota also did a bit of experimentation with the redesigned Camry, briefly offering a coupe version and backing away from the boxiness of the older model. A bigger car meant larger engines were now needed, with the base 2.2-liter four-cylinder providing 130 horsepower and a new 3.0-liter V6 offering up to 188 horsepower (depending on the model year). The Camry SE would also debut for the first time in 1992 with the intention of attracting performance-seeking buyers by way of a list of handling and suspension upgrades. Additionally, the redesigned wagon was available with the option of a third row of seating. All-wheel drive, however, was gone forever. 1997-2001: The Dominator The fourth-generation Toyota Camry is the one that cemented the automaker’s mid-size dominance for the foreseeable future. A longer wheelbase, modernized styling, and two new engines (a revised 2.2-liter four-cylinder good for 133 horses and a 194 horsepower version of the 3.0-liter V6) were the headlines for the redesigned Camry, but it was a series of constant improvements over its five-year lifespan combined with fantastic reliability that would endear this version of the sedan to family shoppers. The wagon body style had been exiled for good, but the coupe – now called the Camry Solara – would make a comeback as a ’99 model in another attempt to buff up the sedan’s commuter car image. A convertible version appeared the year after. Neither were really necessary, however, because the Camry was by now an unstoppable sales freight train. 2002-2006: More Luxury The Lexus brand, which had been launched partly on the back of the Camry-based ES sedan, had taught Toyota a number of important lessons when it came to maximizing profits, and this was visible in how the 2002-2006 version of the Camry was packaged. The stripped-down base model was dropped from the lineup, a brand-new 2.4-liter, 157 horsepower four-cylinder engine was added, and by 2004, the older V6 had also been replaced (by a 3.3-liter, 210-horsepower six-cylinder). The Solara coupe and convertible would make their last hurrah with this version of the Camry, too, with both bowing out by 2009 after a light restyling effort was made to keep them fresh alongside the redesigned sedan. Still, cars from this era lost some of their luster as Toyota’s pursuit of volume at the expense of quality suddenly had owners dealing with a higher rate of problems, defects, and breakdowns than they had ever encountered on past models. It was an issue that would persist until the end of the decade before the company realized that it needed to right the ship — Camry included. 2007-2011: NASCAR-bound Not only did Toyota face a quality crisis that would overlap part of this generation of Camry, but it also found itself with the task of producing two separate versions of the car — the one familiar to Americans, and a more high-end model that was exported to certain overseas markets. This time, instead of making the entire car bigger, Toyota focused on improving the interior room, which led to a bigger feeling cabin with no additional length or width — the two inches of wheelbase stretch are contained within roughly the same parking spot, although the car now sat two inches taller. The Camry’s sleeker profile would soon be spotted on NASCAR starting grids, too, where the sedan made its first foray into America’s premier motorsport. Although four-cylinder models remained untouched, a new 3.5-liter V6 generating 268 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque made its debut for the 2007 model year, a substantial boost in power from a motor that would hang in for the next 10 years in one form or another. You could still get a manual transmission with the four-cylinder, but five-speed automatics and even a six-speed automatic for the V6 were far more popular choices. The biggest update to this generation Camry, aside from the styling? The introduction of a hybrid model, which represented the strategy, borrowed from Lexus, to rebrand Toyota as a purveyor of electrified transportation. With about 40 mpg available from the car in city driving, the battery-assisted Camry Hybrid made significant waves in the mid-size segment, but couldn’t attract the same level of attention as the more popular Prius compact hybrid. See Also: 2006-2011 Used Toyota Camry Review 2012-2017: A Return To Form Were there any worlds left for the Camry to conquer by the start of the new millennium’s second decade? Not really — although the threat of SUVs and crossovers would rise like a looming specter not long after its debut in the summer of 2011. Styling for this generation Camry was among the most eye-catching since its ’90s heyday, and the car’s new 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine boosted base power to 178 horses (the V6 carried over). The long-standing manual transmission was banished from the Camry’s order sheet, with a six-speed automatic becoming standard across the board. Build quality was also boosted significantly for all versions of the sedan, with customers re-upping on a regular basis and keeping sales numbers strong. 2018-present For 2018, the Toyota Camry makes a substantial leap forward in terms of design and engineering. It now shares its underpinnings with the Prius and the CH-R, allowing the company to leverage its New Global Architecture platform across a wide range of vehicles. With up to 206 horsepower available from its 2.5-liter four-cylinder and 301 horsepower from its 3.5-liter V6 — both of which having been gifted with direct fuel injection — and with a 208 horsepower version of the Camry Hybrid also available, the vehicle has never fielded a more intriguing range of drivetrain choices. It’s also more style-forward than past Camry sedans, especially the extroverted Sport trim. See Also: 2018 Toyota Camry Review Even with all of these changes, however, the car still aims squarely for the hearts and minds of families interested in a reasonably sized, affordable daily commuter that will deliver a hundred thousand miles of worry-free driving.

GR Toyota Supra Race Car Concept is a Mean Racing Machine
The GR Toyota Supra Race Car Concept should dispel any notion that the all-new, fifth-generation Toyota Supra was going to be some sort of half-baked, weaksauce take on the brand’s storied nameplate. Toyota made that abundantly clear by previewing the coming street car version of the Supra in full race trim today at the 2018 Geneva auto show. Take your beige and shove it.
Developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing, Toyota’s official motorsports arm, the Supra Race Car Concept is meant to evoke the heritage of a car that dominated GT racing in Japan—a car that became a legend to a legion of fans. Like the Nissan GT-R, the Supra was born from the bones of a more pedestrian car—in its case, the Celica in 1978. From there it would go on to become its own nameplate for three generations: the A60 (1981), A70 (1986), and the A80 (1993), the car that would cement the Supra legacy. The 90 on the side of the race car concept is a nod to continuing that lineage.
We finally have full confirmation that the new Toyota Supra will be a front-engine, rear drive configuration as confirmed by the race car’s design. But we’re going to have to continue to keep speculating about what engine exactly will power the race car or the street car, as Toyota has provided zero information about what is under the hood. As our European correspondent Georg Kacher has reported, our best guess at this point is that the production Supra will feature BMW-sourced powertrain options it will share with the new Z4, likely a version of Munich’s 2.0-liter turbo inline four in the base car, although its long hood suggests BMW’s present 3.0-liter inline six turbo would also fit, which is rated at 355 horsepower in top spec trim. BMW and Toyota have been jointly developing the road-going Supra and BMW’s new Z4 convertible.
As for the GR Supra Race Car Concept, what we do know is that this car looks ready to take on the 24 Hours Nürburgring race tomorrow, and given that the race is in May of each year, it just might. Gazoo Racing has spent the better part of a decade campaigning at the Ring among other European circuits, and Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda himself has raced there. Either way, it’s good bet we’ll see it on the Green Hell and other tracks across the world at some point soon. The car is also meant to signify Toyota’s intention to use racing to transfer technological learnings at the track to its emerging GR-series street cars. A GR version of the new road-going Supra is a virtual certainty.
Look closer at the GR Supra concept and you’ll see all manner of race-proven gear and a setup designed for hardcore racing. The chassis has been reworked and front and rear suspension lowered for track duty. It’s been fitted with center-lock BBS rims wrapped in Michelin racing rubber, Brembo Racing brakes at all four corners, and a single tube racing exhaust to expel the fumes from its mystery engine.
The cockpit is all business. There’s the requisite roll cage and fire suppression system, and everything is prepped for serious track duty. Toyota is being coy about what series and sanctioning bodies the car would be cleared to race in, but it’s virtually assured that the actual competition version will be FIA compliant.
A full racing dashboard, OMP seat and quick-release steering wheel, and a safety harness have been fitted in the cabin. The wheel is mounted on a racing column and there’s a paddle shift setup for the transmission, the configuration of which is yet another mystery. There is also a three pedal setup in the footwell, which we’re looking to get confirmation about.
Gazoo Racing worked its magic on multiple areas to improve aerodynamics and save weight. The doors are carbon-fiber lined, and the side windows and windscreen are plastic. Composite materials are used throughout the car, including the louvered hood, and front and rear bumper. The significant aero enhancements to the car—side skirts, splitter, boxy diffuser that juts out from the body work, and of course, its massive, super wide rear wing—are all composite as well.
As for its general silhouette, the Supra that we’ll see for the road (likely near the end of this year), the one that we’ve shown you in endless spy photos and illustrations, won’t be nearly as aggressive as the race car, of course. We won’t see the massive fender flares and other adornments, or likely the double bubble roof. But what looks to be coming together quite nicely is a compact sports coupe with a long sloping hood, short rear overhang, heavily raked windscreen, and artfully curved profile.
We do know some baseline dimensions. Toyota says the race car is 180.1 inches long, by 80.6 inches wide, by 48.4 inches high, with a 97.2-inch wheelbase. Its wheelbase is reportedly the same as that of the BMW Z4 Concept, though the rest of the dimensions are skewed by the performance enhancements and not reflective of what the street car will be.
You’ll be able to virtually race the GR Toyota Supra Race Car Concept next month as part of an update to the Gran Turismo Sport video game, and indeed, in part it has been through games like Gran Tursimo that the Supra name has lived on after the A80 ceased production in 2002.
When the GR car hits the track for real, it will have two missions: ably represent the Supra’s lineage, and serve as the latest standard bearer of Toyota’s commitment to motorsports through its efforts at the 24 Hours of LeMans, World Rally Championship, and World Endurance Championship. It’s almost go time for the new Supra—we’re looking forward to seeing how it performs when it’s on the grid and the green flag finally drops.

2018 - 2019 Toyota Camry Perfomance
At first released mainly because some sort of four-front door model of the Celica in 1979, the Camry became any remain-by yourself nameplate inside '80. Since then, it provides become a single associated with any most trustworthy and even well-known autos relating to the market, specifically in the United States., where Toyota has shipped more when compared with 200,000 devices some sort of year because "88 and in excessive of 350,000 illustrations given that 1996. Presently the finest-offering person car or truck in North America, the Camry drove right into any completely new generation pertaining to the particular '19 model 365 days. Spotted tests relating to public streets given that early 2016, any eighth age bracket sedan was basically remodeled from the floor all the way up. Involving course, this unique is not surprising as brand-new-generation vehicles acquire modernize equally inside and out, but the particular new Camry is an important massive departure looking at the forerunner. Not only provided a good new look, it is furthermore sleeker, sportier, and much more elegant as compared to their predecessor. It seems as in the event that this brand new Camry was created to link all the space among all the boring Toyota automobiles along with any premium Lexus offerings.
In addition to that is not a poor idea. As usual, all the re-designed outside will be jointed by simply any renewed interior using brand-new style and updated modern technology. Toyota also had taken attention in typically the drivetrain division just by adding three innovative engines, which includes the hybrid. The Camry is usually, without a doubt, all the a good number of eye-catching mid-size sedan we have at any time made,” mentioned Carter, Toyota senior citizen vice president involving automotive operations. It offers with everything Camry proprietors have come to anticipate from America finest-marketing car, and contributes to that, jaw bone-falling design, more advanced technologies, slicing-edge safety systems, and stirring performance that will raises it to an unparalleled stage of exhilaration.” Individuals are really big words originating from Mr. Carter, therefore you are probably requesting yourself "is actually the new Camry in which excellent or maybe is without a doubt Toyota driving high on PR speak?" Properly, let us find out the solution to this large issue within the review below.
While When I first discovered spy shots regarding the camouflaged Camry magic size, I had been sure that the sedan will get a good evolutionary design based upon typically the outbound auto not to mention along with design cues noticed on a smaller sized Corolla. I cannot mention I'm wrong with regards to all the "evolutionary" portion, nonetheless apart from several parallels having a prior model, the innovative Camry offers a lot connected with latest design characteristics to brag concerning. What’s more, it advantages of a fabulous somewhat different approach that combines a new sportier posture with upmarket design.Although the new external is sportier, fancier, yet evolutionary, the cabin is a enormous departure from the prior design. On the other hand, the traveler will get a different atmosphere, featured by a perception of openness and the smooth-touch areas and the veneer in the dashboard.
Although it was initially believed that Toyota will period out and about any 3.5-liter V-6 along with opt for a turbocharged 4-tube instead, this midsize automobile consistently implement a in a natural way aspirated half a dozen-tube. Your 2.5-liter several-tube was also held, while seemed to be a hybrid according to the same four-pot system. Nevertheless, all 3 drivetrain happen to be remodeled by using a huge focus with improving fuel economy. Despite the fact that certain figures aren’t but readily available, Toyota says that the brand-new 2.5-liter powerplant offers a lot more power and then twisting when compared with its predecessor, all although returning lower fuel consumption, here.
Pricing details will be not yet accessible, nevertheless the Camry sticker need to boost by using typically the upgrade. Through the outbound model priced out of $23,070, the exact following creation 4 door can start from close to $24,000. Some sort of modified raise bumper in addition to light up-colored taillights spotlight the actual transformations within the particular rear.
