Damn, Where Did That Slab of Concrete Come From?


We're going to guess that Taiwanese authorities placed a slab of concrete in front of this zebra crossing to protect pedestrians from vehicles, but it also seems to work as a punishment tool for impatient drivers.

Take this gifted driver of a black Toyota sedan, who not only disregarded the red light but also tried to make a quick illegal left turn.

New Toyota Furia Sedan Concept Teased Ahead of Detroit Motor Show, Which Model Does it Preview?


With the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit approaching closer, more and more automakers are opening their cards, though, most of the times, not to the extent we would all like…

Toyota, for example, announced on Thursday that it will host the world premiere of a new study called the Furia through a teaser video and a simple statement saying that it will be an "an exciting new sedan concept".

2013 Toyota Avalon is the First Vehicle in the World to Offer Qi Wireless In-Car Charging


After finding their way into our homes and offices, wireless charging systems for cell phones and other electronic devices are now beginning to make their appearance in automobiles.

General Motors has already introduced a wireless cell phone mat and so has Chrysler's Mopar division, but Toyota is laying claims to the "world’s first application of Qi wireless in-car charging" as part of a Technology Package for both the 2013 Avalon and Avalon Hybrid models.

We reached out to Chrysler to ask whether its already available wireless charging system adheres to the "Qi" interface standards and we will post an update once we receive a reply, but for now, we will take Toyota's word for it.

Mini-Me Toyota 86 / Scion FR-S Doesn't Make the Cut at D1GP Drift Event


If you're an avid fan of the art of drifting, you can't go wrong with Japan's D1 Grand Prix or D1GP professional drift series, unless, of course, you stumble upon the wrong car.

We can't say for sure if Gazoo Racing's mini-me Toyota 86 (JDM version of the Scion FR-S) was plagued by a technical problem or if there was nothing wrong and it simply played the role of the rodeo clown, but either way, we can't say we were impressed by its entrance on the track at a recent D1GP drift event in Odaiba, Japan.

Hearing this Toyota GX71 Chaser GT Play the Jingles Bells Made Our Day


Sometimes it's the strangest things that can brighten up your day; like watching a video of a group of tuned Japanese sedans rolling down the road when all of a sudden, you hear a familiar tune coming from…the engine of one of those cars.

The admittedly talented driver behind the wheel of the VIP-esque style (with a little bit of imagination) Toyota Chaser GT Twin Turbo series GX71 from the 1980s played the world-famous Jingle Bells tune simply using his right foot and the raspy sounds of the modded powerplant.

All-New 2013 Toyota RAV4 Finally Breaks Cover at LA Auto Show [Photos & Video]


The 2013 RAV4 is undeniably one of the most eagerly awaited, and thus important, models of this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show. And even though we’ve already seen the first images, we had no word on its specifications.

Now that Toyota officially revealed the fourth generation of its compact crossover, we finally have all the info on the latest iteration of the model that kickstarted the SUV trend as we know it back in 1994.

The all-new RAV4 is 179.9 inches (4,569 mm) long, 72.6 inches (1,844 mm) wide and 65.4 inches (1,661 mm) tall and sports a 104.7-inch (2,659 mm) wheelbase.

According to Toyota, the new RAV4’s architecture uses several grades of high-strength steel for key structural components and employs weight savings in other areas resulting in a more rigid, yet light, chassis.

It also uses a McPherson strut front and double-wishbone rear suspension setup with revised spring rates and dampers. There are disc brakes all around and, depending on trim level, 17-inch steel (LE) or 17- (XLE) nand 18-inch (Limited) alloy wheels.

Toyota Celica Driver Can Count That as a "Drifting" Fail


We are going to assume that the gifted driver sitting behind the wheel of this fifth generation (1989-1993) Toyota Celica was trying to impress his friend with the camera by tossing the rear end of the Japanese coupe around a pole at an empty parking lot – quite possibly with the help of the hand brake.

Obviously, for us to post about it, the drift attempt didn't work as planned, unless, that is, you consider smashing the front end of the car on a metal lamp post a part of the drifting act.

Toyota Vios Collects a Not So Friendly Bump from a Lexus RX


One of the worst things that can happen to a driver travelling on a highway is for one or more cars to suddenly slow down in front, as not all motorists keep a safe distance from each other nor do they always pay attention to what's going on ahead of them.

In this occasion, a group of vehicles slowed down on a highway located close to New Taipei in northern Taiwan, with a Lexus RX smashing into the rear end of a Toyota Vios sedan, sending it violently across the road.

Aww, Isn't That Cute? Gazoo Builds a Real-Life Mini Version of the Toyota GT 86 / Scion FR-S


Anyone remember the craze over the comically-looking mini supercars created with the help of photoshop and various other image editing programs from a few years back?

After a gazillion different design concepts of any vehicle you can think of, the fad passed and we all moved on, or so we thought, as someone over at Toyota's racing and performance partner Gazoo recently had a moment of zen giving it another go.

Mind you, we're not talking about a digital rendering, but a real life, working model designed to look like the Toyota 86 (in case you forgot, it's marketed as the Toyota GT 86 in Europe and Scion FR-S in North America).

MT Puts Ford’s Claims to the Test, Pits C-MAX Hybrid Against Toyota Prius V


The Toyota Prius is the best-selling hybrid in the world. Which is unsurprising, really, considering that it is currently in its third generation and its line-up has been expanded with both bigger and smaller variants.

It’s also squarely on the sights of Ford, which is constantly comparing its new C-MAX Hybrid against the Prius V, which is the minivan version of the series, be it in commercials or sales figures.

It has gone as far as saying that its own model is “better and more-fuel efficient” than the Prius V.

Reckless Taiwanese Tour Bus Operator Causes Two Car Accident on Highway


From the first day we get to sit behind the wheel of an automobile, we are all told to check our mirrors and look over our shoulder before attempting to change lanes. As simple as this may sound, some drivers continue to have a problem grasping the concept…

From what we can tell by looking at this video, the person operating the tour bus in Taiwan's Hsinchu City didn't even turn on his blinkers when he abruptly entered the middle lane forcing the driver of the silver Toyota Corolla to lose and spin out of control.

Who Needs Video Games When You Have Drivers Like These?


There are times when reality surpasses imagination and this is what is happening at an alarming rate on the roads of Russia as well as the former members of the Soviet Union, as you will no doubt have seen for yourself through the many videos circulating around the internet.

You may as well forget about playing around with your Xbox or PlayStation if you happen to bump into a driver like the one sitting behind the wheel of this battered Toyota Carina E sedan.

First Installation of the New iPad Mini in a Car


Sure Apple's new iPad Mini might have some shortcomings including its smaller, 7.9-inch non-Retina Display and a steep price tag, but in regards to its footprint, it looks like it could be the perfect fit for automotive applications.

No sooner than it landed on the market, an audio system specialist from Florida named "Soundwaves of Tampa" went ahead to become the first company in the field to install the tablet in a car and specifically, on a 2012 Toyota Corolla sedan.

Toyota MR2 Whipped up as a Lamborghini Murcielago Replica [w/Videos]


In the colorful and imaginative world of clone cars, the Toyota MR2 is commonly used as a donor model for Ferrari replicas of all sorts, from 360 Modena Coupes and Spiders to Enzo hypercars, but once in a rare while, Maranello's archrival Lamborghini also comes into the picture.

Such is the case of this eBay find from Albertville, Alabama, with a 1991 Toyota MR2 being sacrificed to give birth to a Lamborghini Murcielago replica.

Toyota Land Cruiser Tries to Avoid Traffic Only to Get Stuck on the Train Rails


Unless the featured driver of this Toyota Land Cruiser is completely drunk out of his or her mind (something that may be the case anyway…), we will have to take the videographer's explanation for this bizarre incident as granted.

What we are told in the YouTube clip's description, is that the driver of the Japanese SUV tried to use his vehicle's off-road prowess to overcome the traffic at a stop light by jumping on the train (or tram) rails.

Toyota GT 86 aka the Scion FR-S Fails Miserably in Moose Test in Lithuania


We all know how the first generation of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and more recently, the Jeep Grand Cherokee (though, Chrysler did question the results), faired in the now infamous moose (or elk) test pioneered by Swedish car magazine Teknikens Värld.

While the Swedes emulated the presence of a moose with cones, in Lithuania (or so out tipster told us), a similar test was performed with a more pleasing to the eye replica of the large mammal.
