]]> Comment on Dear Volvo: Toyota was first with i-ART by jruhi4 http://kaizenfactor.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/dear-volvo-toyota-was-first-with-i-art/#comment-1396 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:57:28 +0000 http://kaizenfactor.wordpress.com/?p=11320#comment-1396 It seems that Volvo / Toyota mechanical sharing goes beyond i-ART. That Volvo press release also touts their new 8-speed automatic transaxle. Alex Dykes of The Truth about Cars makes a very compelling argument that it is none other than Toyota/Lexus’ U880 unit that is currently used only in North America’s RX 350 F Sport.

]]> Comment on The 2013 Toyota, Lexus and Scion “launch list” gets tweaked yet again! by jruhi4 http://kaizenfactor.wordpress.com/2013/01/08/the-2013-toyota-lexus-and-scion-launch-list-gets-tweaked-yet-again/#comment-1154 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:17:14 +0000 http://kaizenfactor.wordpress.com/?p=11004#comment-1154 The Toyota Brings Strong Momentum to New Year news release includes this sentence:

In the coming year (2013), Toyota plans to debut nine new or updated products, including the all-new Toyota RAV4 and Corolla, as well as the Scion tC.

Thus, it seems that RAV4 counts for 2013 after all, and this is the second Toyota news release specifically citing a Scion tC mid-life refresh. This author still thinks we should keep an eye out on the New York Auto Show press conferences, for perhaps whatever succeeds the aging Scion xB and xD will be previewed in concept form…
