News has it that Toyota will be replacing its Solara sports car with the Venza crossover sedan, which will be built together with the Camry. About 7,000 employees of the Detroit plant have been assigned to examine the two latter cars (with the help of Digital Assembly, a computer software package) and to match the processes for a more efficient work process.

Here are only some of the things that can be expected from the changes:

Solera workers will be integrated into the optional panoramic roof line of the Venza, which will also be installed by workers who did the Camry’s moonroof.

Venza grille installation will be done by the people who work on the power steering of the Camry. Venza has electronic power-steering.

Workers will install antenna on the Venza while they will have to install speakers on the Camry.

A little confusing for now but I�m sure the guys will get the hang of it eventually. After all, assembly line systems are made to be simple and efficient for maximum production at the shortest time.

TOYOTA VS. HONDA

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.
