Auris Hybrid - a must have

Hello,

this is a great news. I will surely have a look once it is out on the market. Have been a fan of Toyota for quite a while and Auris is a great car, so hybrid will probably be perfect.

Thanks for sharing :)

Toyota is on the front lines

Toyota is on the front lines of innovation. I can't wait to see their new Auris Hybrid. Hopefully more consumers will embrace this technology and force all the auto companies to develop cars that are better for the environment. The more people that embrace this technology, the cheaper it will be for companies like Toyota to produce energy efficient vehicles.

Performance Auris

Hi,

I see Mazda have released the new Mazda MPS. Yet another hot hatch. Almost all manufactures have a hot hatch out there. I am a Toyota fan and well am quite disappointed at the fact that they don't have any in there line up. Guess I have to start looking elsewhere now.

Agreed

When the guys chat about the new performance cars I stay quiet. The old 20 valve and RunX RSi are special and do a decent job protecting toyotas image against these new performance cars but they cant beat them outright. We have lost so many toyota fanatics to other manufacturers. Toyota will regain their confidence if they come out with a real performance car and not a half hearted effort like the RunX TRD.

Performance Toyota

Come on Toyota. We really need a new performance car. Toyota has lost tons of fans to other lesser auto makers. Bring a new performance car out and you will definitely get them back.
