Toyota assures everyone that your Toyota vehicle is “safe” to drive. They even gives us these videos demonstrating the proper ways to stop your vehicle in cases that you feel that it’s out to get you.

How to Stop a Toyota Hybrid

How to Stop a Toyota with Stuck Accelerator Pedal

Here’s a sporty family picture of Toyota’s latest sports coupe together with is predecessors – the Supra, the Celica and the AE86.

The FT-86 was initially heralded as the replacement to the iconic AE86/Corolla GT/Corolla Levin/Trueno Sprinter but was also reported as the Celica replacement. Fact is, the FT-86 is Toyota’s latest sports coupe and it does look like it took off from all of these cars.

The FT-86 is a joint project with Subaru. Powering the car is a 2.0L boxer engine from Subaru. The FT-86 will maintain the AE86’s RWD heritage though.

The car’s also built with lightweightedness in mind to give it the agility to round corners. It’s got a proper LSD to boot making the car a possible drifting monster.

A Subaru model with 4WD is expected to come out soon.

The co-developed Toyota/Subaru FT-86 revival of the famed AE86 RWD street racing icon might get a new exterior say rumors.

We’ve already seen the concept unveiled at the last Tokyo Motor Show complete with color of a baboon’s ass but Toyota might just be going towards another direction when it comes to the styling.

Weird thing is that we’ve already seen a G-Sports version of the car and developing the special body panels would’ve already cost Toyota some money.

It’s Toyota’s decision anyway. If they think using a better shell for their sporty RWD coupe’s the best way to go, then so be it.

We could all just hope that this car’s dependable as heck. Unlike the millions of cars already recalled (and are still recalling).

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Toyota is now facing its toughest challenge in the world market yet. The accelerator problem that has affect million of its vehicles across models has probably permanently scarred its reputation of building tough and dependable vehicles.

The Prius is among the models affected by the massive recall and it seems that the Prius also has another problem to go with the sticky throttle. Reports of customers complaining about brake failure problems from both America and Japan. An reported incident of a crash slightly injuring two passengers is already in the books.

Apple co-founder Stever Wozniak is among those who reported experiencing problems with their Priuses. Woz reported that his Prius sped up while in cruise control prompting him to point out the possibility that the problem might be in the software.

Modern cars have been using ECUs (or electronic control units) to help control their many systems from engine control to braking systems.

Now we’re wondering what business value the G Sports tuning range will give Toyota. Well, the line sure is a nice breather to the boring styling of its fleet.

We’ve already seen the Prius G Sports and the FT-86 G Sports. Here’s the Toyota X G Sports.

The Mark X is supposed to be Toyota’s answer to the BMW 5-Series for the Asian market. Given the price premium on European models in Asia, the Mark X can give the 5-Series a fight if only for value for money.

The one in showcase packs a 3.6L V6 dishing out 314 bhp and 280 lb-ft of torque (the stock Mark X shares the same 3.5L 2GR-FSE engine found in the Lotus Evora). The car’s rear-wheel drive and sports a six-speed automatic ‘box.

As for the aggressive G Sports styling, the car includes a reworked front end. At the rear, it gets a new bumper and a rear spoiler and a four-pipe exhausts. The car sits atop of 20-inch alloys

So we’re spilling over some of the Toyota goodness from this blog.

So Toyota will also be launching a new tuning accessories line dubbed G Sports. And the pieces do look mighty aggressive. Just check out the one they did with the Prius. Made the car look pretty bad ass.

This here’s the Toyota FT-86 G Sports Concept which is the sporty FT-86 with some really bad ass aero bits stuck on it. Visible additions as the new hood, the tweaked front bumpers, a spiffy carbon fiber rear wing and diffuser.

The car packs a turbocharged version of the 2.0L boxer engine from Subaru. No word on the power figure yet but the aero package looks more than enough to spring for this sporty G Sports version.

Looks like Toyota is bent on developing the Prius sub-brand. A great sign of that is this new hybrid concept that they just showcased in this year’s Detroit motor show.

Check out the Toyota FT-CH Compact Hybrid Concept which many say would be the basis of future cars to be launched under the Prius sub-brand.

The FT-CH concept is smaller than the new Prius. It can might as well be slotted in as a Scion with its compact and youthful appeal.

If you can remember, Toyota launched a hybrid concept a few years ago dubbed the Hybrid X Concept and the FT-CH does look like it took after the old concept.

No word yet on what will power this car but Toyota is exploring quite a lot in terms of electric and even hydrogen fuel cell technology so those can be real possibilities.

We’ll be seeing an updated Yaris for 2010. When they mean “update” that means you can’t expect drastic changes to the car.

The exterior gets very minor tweaks with just a few revisions on the headlights and the bumbers. The top-spec TR trim level gets new 15-inch alloys, tintend headlamp glass, new fog lights and a matte silver door handles.

The TR version also gets updated safety features like curtain airbags and driver’s knee airbag which would both come as standard.

Inside, you can expect a few more noticeable changes. The range would sport a new sports instrument display.

The Yaris is powered by a range of engines that include a 1.0 VVT-I gasoline engine, 1.3 Dual VVT-i and a 1.4L diesel.

Seems like India will be a battleground for some automakers. Suzuki made quite the killing in India with the Swift. But being the big bully that it is, Toyota will have none of that and decided to launch the Etios.

It will not be able to take on the Nano in the price department given its $10,000 price but it should be a viable option for those who are considering the Swift.

Toyota even promises that the Etios will have a better quality interior compared to the Swift. The Etios is a sub-4m car but will have four-doors. Don’t expect that much luxury on the car though as Toyota needed to cut costs to make it price-competitive.

Engine choices include 1.2 and 1.5L gasoline engines. The car will be availanle as both hatch and saloon,

10. Toyota Prius

While die-hard gear- and petrolheads aren’t throwing in the towel yet in this econmentalist revolution that has affected the motoring industry, we have to admit the the impact of the hybrid. It might be slow to drive and you might look like a smug and sanctimonious bastard who likes the smell of his own farts owning one. But it did challenge the status quo regarding cars and saving the planet. And quite frankly, whether we like it or not, that’s where motoring is headed.

9. Ariel Atom

It might not be the car you can live with everyday but it’s a track day car that any middle-aged middle-class person can consider gifting himself with while contending with mid-life crisis. It melts your face and ruptures your spleen. The car redefined power-to-weight ratios. It offers more excitement than six-figure supercars.

8. Nissan GT-R

Forget about Porsches, Lambos, Koenigseggs and Paganis, as far as supercars are concerned, we’re giving it to Nissan. Why? It’s because Nissan has proven that it can shame every self-respecting supercar maker by making a car that’s arguably better at half the price. And if there’s a digital technological showcase, this is it. Makes you forget that it’s a Datsun.

7. Ford Focus Mk2

The Focus might have started its life in the late 90s but the Mark 2 made it one of the better cars of the decade. It looks good, performs well, practical, and wouldn’t make you destitute trying to own one. As a hatchback, it has got the best-ever EuroNCAP ratings for its class trumping rivals like the Renault Megane and Volkswagen Golf. The ST and RS variants made the ordinary man think that a decent fast car isn’t only for thoser who can buy supercars. And it’s available in more markets than most of its US rivals.

6. Aston Martin DB9

Being Aston fans, we know there should be an Aston somewhere in the list. We were really going for the DBS but realized that the DB9 was the car that Aston Martin got right. Without their achievement with the DB9, the DBS would’ve been horrible. The DB9 showed that Aston can make a great-looking great car.

5. Audi R8

Out of almost nowhere, Audi decided to join the supercar fray with the R8. And that’s really something especially since the Volkswagen Group already has Lamborghini to make insane supercars. The thing is, apart from the LED headlamps and that silver thing running down its the side, the R8 isn’t really insane. Sort of a sensible man’s supercar but better in almost (if not all) respects than a Porsche 911. The R8 is one of the best-driving supercars (performance and ease of driving it) our there in the market.

4. Ferrari F430 Scuderia

I know what you’re thinking. If there’s a Ferrari to make this list, it should be the flagship Enzo. But no. The Scuderia is probably the best example of the stripped-down super car by far – proof that you can make a car better by subtracting and not adding. Just take note of the fact that this car is faster than the Enzo around Ferrari’s own track. At less than half the Enzo’s price. And yes, it’s a Ferrari.

3. Fiat 500 Abarth

In a decade that saw people lose jobs and money, Fiat has given us the best cheap and cheerful vehicle – the 500 Abarth. You can now forget the Mini when thinking of small zippy cars because the 500 Abarth is definitely “it.” The real driver’s alternative for owning and driving a great performing car without requiring you to acutally rob a bank. Too bad there’s a long waiting list before you can get one if you decide to.

2. Honda FCX Clarity

We’re really putting it all on black with this one. Notice there’s not one pure electric vehicle in the list? That’s because we think that waiting hours for a car to get back on the road again has sent motoring back into… oh we don’t know. Not even horse-drawn carriages needed 8 hours to get going again. Sure, hydrogen tech has yet to be perfected but the car really is fit for the future. As James May said, “The reason it’s the car of the future is because it’s just like the car of today.

1. Bugatti Veyron

The essence of engineering – taking Newton’s laws of physics and throwing them out the window. Oh sure, Shelby Supercars decided they can build the faster Utimate Aero but nothing trumps the pantomime-effect of the Veyron. It’s fast all right. But you know you’re looking at something different. Something majestic.
