Video: A Very Bizarre Incident

It’s a crazy, crazy world we live in. Don't believe us? Just take a look at this incident that took place somewhere in Asia, possibly in China if Google Translation did its work (visit the comment section to correct us if we're wrong).
While we can't be certain of the details surrounding this bizarre episode since the description on Youtube doesn’t make much sense after we translate it into English, through the dash-mounted camera we see someone who is driving a small green Toyota being chased by two men, one holding a baseball bat.
Two minutes into the video, we find that the man with the bat has jumped on the moving car and is trying to smash the window before it collides with the vehicle filming the scene... Watch it for yourself in the clip after the break.

2012 Toyota Camry Appears in Different Form in Ukraine

After this week's world premiere of the North American market 2012 Camry, Toyota is now preparing the debuts of its mid-size sedan in other regions of the world. First up is the Ukrainian version, which will most likely be offered in the same form in other surrounding markets including Russia.

While both iterations of the 2012 Toyota Camry share the same body and platform, the Ukrainian model sports a different and more prominent front-end design with bespoke headlamp units, bumper, hood, grille and front fenders.

The profile remains the same while at the rear Toyota's designers extended the tail lamps and restyled the deck lid that now features a subtle lip.

Inside, the changes seem to be limited to the region-specific trim and color options plus a different glove box design.

Toyota Ukraine said the new 2012 Camry will be offered locally with a choice of 2.5-liter four-cylinder and 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engines, and prices starting from US$33,050, with more details to be available before the end of the year.

Toyota 4runner

Toyota 4runner

The Toyota 4runner has evolved in the past from your simple capped pickup with a premium mid-sized SUV; from being moderately underpowered, it has attended having more power than many competitors, with plenty of good, healthy torque. Some wheel drive system, like a lot of others, adjusted from being labor-intensive to turn-a-dial easy, while the interior has got cushier and quieter. Many features are standard, including hill ascent and hill descent control, a five-speed automatic transmission, antilock brakes, traction control, and air cooling. Maybe this is exactly why the SR5 designation, once available to feature-filled Toyotas, is the base model 4runner.

The Toyota 4runner is available with rear- or four-wheel drive and something of two engines. The typical 4.0-liter V6 makes 236 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. The optional 4.7-liter V8 generates 260 hp and 306 lb-ft of torque. All 4Runners have a five-speed automatic transmission. Towing capacity is 7,300 pounds on V8 models, while V6 models top out at 5,000 pounds. Fuel economy estimates for four-wheel-drive 2008 4Runners stand at 16 mpg city and 20 mpg highway to the V6 and 14/17 mpg to the V8.

The Toyota 4runner offers roomy quarters for four to five passengers, plus a couple extra kids if you select the 50/50 third-row seat. To generate way for cargo, each 50 % of the third-row seat could be stowed in a upright position along the sideboards or removed completely, nevertheless it does not fold flat in the floor. The complete design with the interior is both good to look at and seriously functional generally controls simple to find and rehearse. Our only major ergonomic complaint concerns the climate controls, which look like intuitive dials but work a lot more like joysticks. Maximum cargo capacity is 75 cubic feet, which trails behind almost all of the 4Runner’s midsize competitors.

Toyota echo

Toyota echo

The Toyota Echo never won any prizes for its beauty of sportiness, though its owners often share experiences of a car that's proven fuel-efficient, reliable and well suited to everyday life.This weird-looking little economy car enjoyed a successful life before it was kicked out of the brand's model lineup and replaced by the Yaris in 2006. Depending on the year in which you're searching, you'll find Echo available with a two-door, four-door or hatchback body configuration.No surprises were pulled under the hood, and power was handled by a teensy 1.5 liter engine with a touch over 100 horsepower. Gas mileage is expectedly miserly. If you're only using an Echo as a second car for the family when the SUV isn't required, you'll probably only visit the gas station a few times a month.Shifting gears was a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual, with the latter recommended to extract the most fun-to-drive factor from the car.Though Echo's horsepower numbers look meager, the car weighed only a little over 2000 pounds- meaning it'll move along just fine when requested. Expect mileage in the neighborhood of 6 liters per 100 kilometers if you're on top of maintenance and tune-ups.A standard CD player, 14-inch steel wheels with covers and tilt steering to make their way into the interior features list. Echo's cabin was decidedly different looking- almost futuristic in its own way. Owners chatting online generally gush about their Echo's fuel consumption levels, funky interior styling, storage compartments and good the tall driving position which allows for a great forward view of the road. Others talk about low maintenance costs- a positive attribute which is backed up by very few common reliability issues. Toyota builds small cars very well, and this one seems no exception.

Toyota has built a mass number of pretty decent cars for decades. This is one main reason why there are lots of people all over the world that have turned out to be Toyota fans. One of the cars that the Japanese car manufacturer has built is the Toyota Tercel. This is a car model that, just like other cars, has some advantages and disadvantages. It was announced by the manufacturer to be an entirely new model. However, as it turned out, the model looked very much alike its predecessor. The overall car length measuring 161.8 inches with a wheelbase of 93.7 inches confirmed this.

Toyota offers the Tercel in 3 options which are the standard model that comes with 2 doors, a DX version – which also comes with 2 doors yet features better equipments, and the DX sedan model that comes with 4 doors. The standard 2-door model of the Toyota Tercel can be mated to a manual transmission with 4 speed levels or an automatic transmission with 3 speed levels. The DX versions, on the other hand, can be purchased featuring either 5 speed levels of manual transmission or an automatic 4-speed transmission.

When it comes to the power the model hides under its hood, there is a dual-cam 4-cylinder engine for all versions. This engine is able to accommodate up to 1.5 liters of fuel. In addition to that, it is also capable of bursting out a maximum power output of 93 hp.

Then, when it comes to the safety measures, the Tercel is equipped with Antilock Braking System (ABS), side door beams, manual seatbelts with adjustable height and dual airbags. All these elements help make sure that the drivers and passengers alike will be protected inside the car should something unexpected take place.

Toyota was determined to build the Tercel to be the company’s least expensive car. Thus, the Japanese company has managed in such a way that the model consumes fuel pretty efficiently while still maintains its maneuverability.

However, consequently, there are quite a few problems that are inevitable. The front windows of the Toyota Tercel tend to be difficult to either open or close. In addition to that, there are barely enough spaces in the rear section. Unfortunately, those are not all the negative sides of the car yet. The antenna ground for the audio system is poor resulting in a static on the AM radio frequency. The thermostat is found to be defective causing the heater to perform poorly when it comes to climate control. Then, last but not least, when the Toyota Tercel travels at an altitude exceeding 5,900 feet, the check-engine indicator will keep on lighting. This often causes the owners of the model to end up having to buy a new computer unit for their car.
