Toyota Motor Corp. is still involved in a stiff competition with rival General Motors Corp. This is despite a weak economic environment. And if that is not heavy enough, new rivals from Chine, Russia, and South America are also attempting to push forward with their products in the global market. So this year, Toyota plans to gain ground by focusing on research on new and more efficient methods to build cars. They are not even afraid to think outside the box if they have to. One example is a training practice that is implemented in the Motomachi assembly complex of the company in Japan.

Hmm, sounds a little goofy but apparently they work!

One of the most challenging auto races in the world is the “24 Hours of Le Mans.” Toyota has not won it yet but the team has big plans as they are now preparing for the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans!

How? They are planning to enter a very out-of-the-box hybrid car that has been likened to �a Prius on steroids.� The last time they entered Le Mans was in 1999 with quite an awesome car (as seen in the photo above) but didn�t win. The team was victorious at the Tokachi 24-hour race which boosted their confidence. No specific details have been issued yet, but the team has assured that special capacitors and batteries will be installed for faster power supply and charging functions.

Toyota will be competing with turbo diesel cars from Audi who have been consecutive winners of Le Mans in 2006 and 2007.

Toyota has achieved its goal as the world’s top automaker faring better than America’s big 3. They have been improving their sales margins with a diversified line that caters more to economy rather than luxury which is the goal US car makers took. Being the biggest car maker in the world, they are however feeling the crunch of the global economic slowdown and are planning to stop production for the time being so as to deplete stocks in their inventory.

Toyota announced last June, that for only $20,000 over base price, buyers can purchase the full size Tundra pick up. With additional power and greater fuel economy, in response to continuously increasing gas prices. It also offered Zero-Interest financing schemes. A Toyota source has admitted that the company wasn’t engaging Ford and Chevrolet in the Pick-up sales battle. Toyota had hoped to sell around 20,000 units of Tundras every month this year. But as of this month, it has only sold roughly 7,000 units. This was due partly because of the closing down of Toyota plants in Indiana and Texas. It has been said that development of Tundra diesel engine variant is in the works.

The 2 most important Japanese car producers today are Toyota and Honda. Both cars are well made and have there own technological enhances. They also show the way the race for the most fuel well-organized cars. If you’re looking for the most fuel efficient car, the Toyota Prius has an edge over the Honda Civic. But if you’re looking for toughness, I would say that Honda cars are more durable. They will give you 5-10 trouble free years provided you obey with the manufacturers scheduled preservation checks. I’m not saying that Toyota cars are not durable, its just that Honda cars are made of sturdier stuff. On the down side, Honda’s design is redundant and parts are expensive. Toyota’s simpler figures make it easier and cheaper to maintain than Honda’s. This allows Toyota cars to be in top shape far longer than their competitors. Verdict: buy a Honda. If it reaches 10 years you actually have to get a new car anyhow.
