  How The Toyota Tacoma Grew From Japanese Oddity To All American

  08/07/15, via Yahoo Autos (blog)

  Toyota's new 1969 HiLux wasn't exotic in any way, but it was smaller than the Stout, significantly more refined and much more comfortable. Available only in standard cab form with a short cargo box, the HiLux was compact enough that the Stout's 1.9

Kia's new Pro_cee'd GT a soul-stirrer - Drivesouth

Take a compact European-designed and built three-door coupe, equip it with a peppy turbo-petrol engine and snappy six-speed manual transmission, and there are good grounds for expecting that a rewarding motoring experience is close at hand. Enter the new Pro_cee'd GT, designed in Germany, build in Slovakia, and proudly carrying the emblem of ambitious Korean car maker Kia. That was the second-generation Kia Koup, a four-door Cerato hatch derivative that - in its initial 2010 iteration - was the first Kia to show mainstream sporting style. Kia upped the Koup's game this year by introducing a 1. 6-turbo engine under the bonnet, but while that gave the Koup a welcome boost in straight-line urge, in most other dynamic respects it remained constrained by its mainstream Korean family-car... Not so the Pro_cee'd GT, which includes in its European design brief a sophisticated multilink rear suspension (the Koup made do with a more basic torsion beam system), snug sports seats and a grippy set of low-profile Michelin tyres. The car those tyres connect to the road is also available in five-door and automatic guise in Europe, but with the similar-sized Koup covering those bases here, the only variant we see is the three-door, six-speed manual.

Muted response to Fiat Chrysler's Wall Street debut - Drivesouth

Investors cautiously greeted the Wall Street debut on Monday of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) , a move that shifts the carmaker's center of gravity away from Italy and caps a decade of canny dealmaking and tough restructuring by Chief Executive... "We're finally taking Chrysler back" to the U. S. stock market, Marchionne said on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. FCA shares opened at $9. 00 in New York and rose as high as $9. 55 before closing at $8. 92, up 2. 5 percent from a Friday close of $8. 70 for the predecessor company Fiat SpA. In Milan, where FCA will keep a secondary listing, shares rose more than 4 percent during the session and closed up 1. 2 percent. Marchionne rang the closing bell at the NYSE on Monday to mark the milestone for the 62-year-old CEO who revived one of Italy's top companies and helped rescue Chrysler along the way. The world's seventh-largest auto group sought the U. S. listing to help establish itself as a leading global player through access to the world's biggest equity market and the cheaper, more reliable source of funding it ultimately offers. Marchionne on Monday said FCA might raise debt funding to help finance its $60-billion five-year investment plan. Source: www.drivesouth.co.nz

Reader Review: 2014 Toyota Tacoma - Driving

If you like a pickup, but don’t require full-size truck capability, Calgary outdoor enthusiast Glenn Ruskin thinks the mid-size 2014 Toyota Tacoma could be the practical answer. “And, it would be great for the weekday downtown commuter who likes to get out on weekends – with four doors and plenty of cargo space, one wonders if one really needs a full-size pickup. Following the Stout in 1967 was the Hilux, and this compact truck became one of the most popular “mini” haulers on the market. By the time 1975 rolled around, Toyota had dropped the Hilux moniker, and their small truck became simply the Toyota Pickup – this model ran until the introduction of the Tacoma in 1995. First generation Tacoma’s were offered with a 2. 4L... No longer a compact truck, Toyota began marketing the Tacoma as a mid-size pickup. Currently, two engines are offered, a 2. 7L DOHC four-cylinder and a 4. 0L DOHC V6, mated to either five or six-speed manual gearboxes, or four or five-speed automatic transmissions – depending on model configuration. Again, depending on configuration, beds are offered in either 6-feet or 5-feet lengths, and cabs include the Access Cab and the Double Cab. Source: driving.ca
