Os últimos 15 a 20 anos da Toyota, salvo raríssimas excepções, foram um terror em termos de desgin. Não acredito que as centenas de designers que têm sejam assim tão maus e quadrados de espírito, acredito mais que os senhores da administração sejam ultra conservadores.
Acho que com isso perdem mais clientes do que ganham. Mas isso preocupa-os pouco, ainda são o maior construtor automóvel mundial. Toyota com design minimamente decente só o gt86 e talvez o novo yaris (que apesar de frigorífico até é girito). O resto da gama é, há muito tempo, de linhas ridículas, feias e quadradonas. Isto desde os faróis aos interiores.
Qualquer miúdo de uma escola de design italiana, se tivesse liberdade para tal, conseguia desenhar produtos mais proporcionais e bonitos. Então se fosse um Giurgiaro ou uma Pininfarina...
Eu gosto de Toyotas, mas estou farto de ver os mamarrachos hediondos que lançam ultimamente .

Segundo a Toyota, é um Yaris específico para a China! E esperemos bem que sim... que fique por lá.

Isso é discutível. De qualquer maneira ninguém disse nada sobre ser construído em Itália, mas sim desenhado.
Sim... eu sei, acrescentei eu a "construção" e claro que é discutivel, mas os italianos são assim mesmo ..." ainda que útil tem que ser belo"...[
] é proprio do povo deste país com tudo o que tem de bom e de menos bom... obviamente.

Apenas para mercado chinês, mas que deixa algumas pistas para o futuro Prius.

E sobretudo, construidos na Turquia, na França ou Inglaterra, onde actualmente são construidos todos os Toybrotas vendidos na Europa, queres dizer-me que são mais fiáveis que os italianos.... Não digo que a m....rda seja a mesma, mas o cheiro é o mesmo...

Toyota Camatte57s: o desportivo para pais e filhos
Toyota presentará un concept car deportivo de vocación familiar en el Salón del Juguete de Tokio. Este deportivo descapotable estará presente en la sección "Kids Life Zone" del Salón Internacional del Juguete de Tokio 2013, que se celebra del 13 al 16 de junio en el Tokyo Big Sight, en el distrito de Koto (Tokio, Japón).
El prototipo, llamado Camatte57s, "está pensado para reunir a padres e hijos en la labor conjunta de crear su coche ideal. El vehículo busca transmitir la diversión y la fascinación por los automóviles a los conductores del presente y del futuro, ofreciendo a padres e hijos la oportunidad de experimentar juntos la emoción de conducir, la personalización de los vehículos y la pasión por los coches", explican en Toyota.
En la práctica, el Camatte57s se presenta como un coche de Meccano de grandes dimensiones. Mide 3 metros de largo, por 1,44 metros de ancho por 1 metro de alto. Con una batalla de 1.880 mm puede acoger hasta tres niños.
La gracia de este coche es que es como un Meccano gigante en el que el niño (o el padre con la excusa del niño...) puede dar rienda suelta a su imaginación diseñando y dando formas al coche de sus sueños. Para ello, la carrocería exterior del vehículo está formada por 57 paneles extraíbles, pequeños y ligeros, para poder personalizar fácilmente el color y el diseño. Los asientos están dispuestos en una configuración triangular, con un asiento delante y dos detrás, "para enfatizar la intimidad familiar y facilitar la comunicación", según Toyota.
Por último, Toyota explica que "los pedales del acelerador y el freno, así como los asientos, se pueden ajustar para que los pueda utilizar un niño [ya decía yo que lo del niño era una excusa], mientras un adulto ayuda con el volante y el freno desde el asiento de atrás, para desarrollar las habilidades de conducción del niño".
Después de jugar con este coche, el niño te sale ingeniero, diseñador o piloto. O se pasa a las motos. De manera más seria, además del efecto imagen de marca, es el reflejo de una tendencia cada vez más creciente en Japón y en otros países donde las generaciones más jóvenes no sienten interés alguno por el automóvil. Toyota está así explorando nuevas vías de que los jóvenes, es decir, los futurtos clientes sientan interés por "los coches".

Inspirado no Segway o Toyota Winglet começa a testar no Japão
Tops out at 3.5 mph (6 km/h)
Japan's love affair with wacky mobility concepts continues as Toyota has begun public testing of the Winglet mobility assistance robot.
Essentially a less exciting Segway, the Winglet is described as a "lightweight two-wheeled machine that is ridden in a standing position and maneuvered using a long, vertical T-bar handle." It is powered by a lithium-ion battery which enables the model to travel up to six miles (10km) at speeds reaching 3.5 mph (6 km/h). When the battery is depleted, it can be fully recharged in about an hour.
The model will be tested in Tsukuba, Japan for the next three years to assess the Winglet's "safety, convenience and practicality." It will be used by 80 people who work for the city or the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.

O que está para vir da Toyota nos próximos 3 anos; FR-S Turbo e Cabrio fora dos planos
The numbers are showing that the automotive sector has emerged from the grip of the recession and reaching pre-2007 levels once again. Automakers reported sales of about 14.5 million vehicles in the States last year, a 13 percent increase from 2011 and the highest annual total since 2007. If the trend continues, we'll be seeing more and newer models entering the market, especially from top brands like Toyota.This week, Automotive News came out with a report on the Japanese firm's upcoming product line for the North American market, which includes several redesigns over the course of the next two to three years.
In the small and compact car market, Toyota is said to replace the Yaris with a new Mazda2-based model, which may only be offered as a sedan, possibly with a different name, beginning in mid-2015. The new generation of the Corolla has already been introduced and will go on sale this fall, while the current Matrix will be the last, at least in the U.S., as it may carry on in Canada for an extra year.
The report mentions the Scion FR-S stating that Toyota has abandoned plans for a convertible and a turbocharged model because they were "deemed too expensive for their limited volumes". For what it's worth, Toyota has presented a near-production, convertible version of the GT 86/ FR-S, so we're not so sure if it has been axed. As for the Supra, we're told that the new coupe currently being co-developed with the BMW Group may be a spiritual successor to this model.
In the medium and large segments, the Camry is expected to receive a facelift in 2014, while the Avalon will continue as is since it's completely new.
Moving onto Toyota's expanded lineup of dedicated hybrids, the new Prius liftback is said to arrive in early 2015 with a more sophisticated powertrain, while the Prius C hatchback andPrius V minivan will remain unchanged.
Other models that will continue as is include the revamped Highlander 7-seater crossover, the FJ Cruiser SUV, the Venza crossover that Autonews says may be a "one-and-done" product due to mediocre sales, the Land Cruiser and the recently refreshed Tundra pickup truck.
That leaves us with the following models: the new hydrogen-powered HFC expected in early 2015; the redesigned RAV4 that may gain Toyota's rumored 2.0-liter turbo'd four at a later stage; the Sienna minivan, said to be replaced in late 2016 as will the 4Runner SUV; theSequoia SUV that could gain a minor refresh and the Tacoma, which is said to be redesigned in late 2014.

BLADE, penso que esse título está errado no que diz respeito ao FR-S e ao Cabrio. O que a notícia diz é precisamente o contrário: estavam em consideração, no entanto, devido à relação custos de desenvolvimento-volumes de vendas, foram deixados para trás. Aliás, tal como refere o Automotive News, onde o Carscoops terá ido buscar a informação como referido no texto:

Tens razão.
Toyota fornece eficiência para luta contra a fome
La mayoría de grandes empresas, por no decir todas, colaboran de una manera u otra con varias ONGs. La manera más sencilla para ellos es donar dinero, quedan bien y desgrava de cara a la Hacienda local. Por suerte, muchas van más allá del simple donativo. Por ejemplo, Toyota. En lugar de aportar una ayuda financiera, aporta eficiencia a través de sus ingenieros.
La clave en toda producción es alcanzar la mayor eficiencia, es decir la habilidad de lograr la mayor productividad con el menor esfuerzo y gasto posible. Con el paso del tiempo, Toyota se ha convertido en el referente mundial en términos de eficiencia productiva, culminando con el famoso Kaizen, o "mejora continua" de su producción.
De hecho, Toyota ofrece servicios de consultoría en eficiencia productiva como una línea de negocio más para empresas dentro y fuera del sector de la automoción, pero también a organizaciones no gubernamentales gratuitamente. En esta ocasión, ofrecieron sus servicios de consultaría de forma altruista al banco de alimentos estadounidense The Food Bank, la mayor organización caritativa de los Estados Unidos y que da de comer a 1,5 millones de personas cada día.
¿Y cómo se traduce el Kaizen aplicado a un comedor social? En un comedor de Harlem, el tiempo de espera en la cola se redujo de 90 minutos a 18 minutos, permitiendo así dar de comer a más personas. Para los que trabajan empaquetando víveres y mantas para damnificados del huracán Sandy, se redujo el tiempo de empaquetado de 3 minutos por paquete a tan sólo 11 segundos. Y son sólo dos ejemplos de un proceso de mejora que empezó en 2011.
Es una nueva forma de filantropía, en lugar de aportar fondos, aportan experiencia y conocimientos. Y es que en tiempos de crisis, donde los presupuestos estatales se reducen cada vez más, la partida destinada a las ONGs también se ve recortada, por lo que esas organizaciones se ven en la obligación de usar mejor los pocos recursos que tienen.

Toyota irá apresentar um novo Hybrid R Sports Concept no Frankfurt Show
Like many other major players in the industry, Toyota will also offer us a glimpse into the future with one or perhaps even more concept models at next month's Frankfurt International Motor Show in Germany. Today we learned that one of those studies will be the Hybrid R Concept."At the forthcoming 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, Toyota will present an exciting new concept that brings Toyota Hybrid System-Racing technology to the road (and track)," reads the Japanese firm's statement that's accompanied by a picture of the Hybrid R logo, but nothing more.
Without additional information, one can only speculate what the Hybrid R is, but one possibility that springs to mind is a directly or perhaps mechanically related concept to Toyota's upcoming, and purportedly Supra-replacing, mid-size sports car that is being jointly developed with the BMW Group.
Hopefully, we'll learn more in the coming days.
