Toyota Celica to make a comeback? Celica name trademarked in US

It has been 15 years since Toyota stopped production of the last-gen Toyota Celica. Since then, Toyota has been launching some sports cars in their line-up including the 86, GR Supra, and GR Yaris. So, with Toyota re-filing the trademark for the Celica name, are we seeing a potential fourth sports car in the line-up? According to some info gathered by various media, Toyota filed an application to patent the Celica name in the US. The application was filed on 15-January 2021 but what could this r

Lessons learned from C-HR, why Toyota is using the Corolla name for Corolla Cross

Tonight at 8.30 pm, UMW Toyota Motor will be live streaming (in 8D audio, a first for a local car launch) the launch of its Toyota Corolla Cross, the company’s most important new model for 2021. To be priced not too far away from a Corolla Altis, the Corolla Cross will fill the void left behind by the now-discontinued (in Malaysia) Toyota C-HR. UPDATE: Toyota Corolla Cross has been launched, priced from RM 124k, details here. Curiously, the Corolla Cross’s mechanicals are almost identical to the

What cars do rally legends buy? A WRC rally car of course

Do you ever wonder, what kind of cars do racing legends contend themselves with? More often than not, you'd think that they will buy cars they used to race in. And you'd be correct. Take for example, one Nicky Grist who purchased a racer he had fond memories of, the Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185. No, not a replica, an actual car that participated in the World Rally Championship (WRC) in 1992. By now you'd be asking, Nicky who? Nicky Grist's CV includes co-driving for rallying gods such as Juha Kan

Spied: New 2022 Toyota SUV spied, positioned between C-HR and RAV4

Toyota is on a roll with SUVs, as spyshots of a new C-segment SUV have surfaced. According to Japanese sources, the new C-segment SUV is developing a new SUV codenamed “地方男子”, which loosely translates to “local boy”. Like the C-HR (and forthcoming Corolla Cross), the “local boy” is based on the TNGA-C platform. Even the wheelbase is said to be identical to the C-HR, coming in at 2,640 mm. In Japan, there is a growing demand for Toyota to return to the original product concept of the first RAV4 –

Meet the 1994 Toyota Corolla that's rarer than some hypercars

Last week, my colleague Jason talked about rally nobility. This week, let me one-up him and show you a 1994 Toyota Corolla that’s rarer than most supercars, including the $38 million Ferrari 250 GTO. Yes, it's as pictured. No, I'm not making it up. Most of you know that the Corolla has been a household name for decades with a legacy that started way back in 1966. With the 2020 Toyota Corolla Cross, they’re trying new things but along its 54 year history, it's only right the Japanese engineers bl

When Japan stopped working half Saturdays, the Toyota RAV4 became No.1. Here’s why

The Toyota RAV4 is the world’s most popular SUV, holding a strong lead over the Honda CR-V and Nissan X-Trail. The RAV4 is also the fourth best-selling car model worldwide, after the Ford F-Series, Toyota Corolla, and Honda Civic. Earlier this year, the Toyota RAV4 crossed its 10 millionth unit sales milestone, after 26 years on the market (since 1994). All these might come as a surprise to many Malaysians because the Toyota RAV4 has never been a strong contender in here. Few RAV4s were sold her

The WiLL Vi, a weird Toyota made for Japanese youths that no one bought

Throughout automotive history, there have been a few notable flops. There’s the Ford Edsel, the DeLorean, and the Mercedes-Benz Maybach (not the current one). So, you might think that the Japanese don’t have a failure as huge as those, right? Well, sorry to burst your bubble but the Japanese car industry isn’t entirely perfect as you might think. Certainly, some of their models do hold a candle when it comes to resale value, and you can’t help but be amazed at even their weirdest cars. Also read

Its name is not Supra, but Toyota GR Supra – What GR means for TRD?

The Toyota GR Supra is now here, priced from RM 568,000. Any discussion about the Toyota GR Supra will inevitably be overshadowed by debates about whether this BMW-Toyota jointly developed model can be a true successor to carry the legendary Supra nameplate, which is a shame because it takes the attention away from something that’s very important to anyone who cares about the brand that makes the Toyota GR Supra. The latest A90 generation Supra isn’t called the Toyota Supra but Toyota GR Supra.

Supercharged, mid-engine, AWD - Here's why the first Toyota Estima is a modern classic

Toyota in the 1990s was on a roll when it came to producing some of the greatest cars of the modern era. Models like the A80 Supra, SW20 MR2, the Z30 Soarer and even the X90 Chaser/Mark II/Cresta became modern cult classics among car fans. However, there is another Toyota model from that period that should also deserve to be a modern classic. It was revolutionary in design, had some clever engineering, and more importantly for a Toyota, pretty reliable. I'm of course talking about the first gene

While Australia is no stranger to high-performance pick-up trucks (much of the Ford Ranger Raptor’s development work was done in Australia), could the GR Hilux find its way to Malaysia?

UMW Toyota akan melancarkan satu model baru pada 17 Disember. Sudah menjadi kebiasaan promo acah pada fasa awalnya, maklumat terperinci belum didedahkan. Tapi, cara dan intonasi iklannya berbunyi agak ‘hip’, ditujukan kepada orang muda dengan gaya. Oleh itu, kita dah boleh jangkakan yang ia barangkali bukannya Toyota Fortuner mahupun Toyota Innova, walaupun kedua-dua model ini sudah patut menerima kemaskini, meniru penambahbaikan yang baru seperti Toyota Hilux yang berkongsi platform IMV.
