I want to calculate (approx) the cost of a trip cross part of the country in my 2001 Toyota Echo Standard Shift car, which is in excellent shape with only 27,000 miles on it. We would probably use air conditioning part of the way? Any Toyota experts out there?

Toyota promotions in Canada for the past two months have been kind of lame, should I expect something better in December? I’m looking to buy a RAV4. Any suggestions on the best time to buy?
Was wondering about Christmas last year, just to get an idea of what to expect for this year.
Thanks.

Toyota Motor Corporation, one of the world’s largest automakers, first offered the Hilux truck in 1969. It was actually an enhanced version of the Stout, which was introduced earlier but did not receive enough attention and sales. As the Toyota Hilux provided better fuel mileage compared to its top competitor, the Ford F-250, it instantly became popular among car enthusiasts. After a series of many more improvements in the Toyota truck parts, with Motor Trend magazine awarding the Hilux as Truck of the Year in 1989, a variation of the renowned model was named Tacoma. The Trekker, which is the camper version of the Hilux, was changed to Toyota 4Runner in North America; it had similar aesthetic cues with the Tacoma. Toyota trucks dominated with their excellent engineering, tough body build, and outstanding styling.

Although the company was founded in Japan, it had bestselling vehicles not only in the United States but also in Europe. Toyota became recognized in its position even in Canada, Australia, and South Africa. The company now has a number of local factories where Toyota truck parts are manufactured and assembled into the different models it offers.

Having the capability of accomplishing tough tasks, the Toyota trucks have become immensely popular. The Tundra and Tacoma are presently the most famous among the brand’s many truck variants. Like the Hilux, Tacoma has the usual off-road capability, which is matched with excellent handling quality and an exceptionally comfortable cabin. The Toyota truck parts of the Tundra, meanwhile, are assembled to exhibit remarkable agility and particularly smooth, quiet, and refined road manners. Tagged as “the indestructible car,” the Toyota Hilux was featured in the popular television show Top Gear where it was subjected to extraordinary abuse that involved intentional crashing, scraping, weather exposure, and hitting with a wrecking ball. With basic repair that did not included any component replacement, the Hilux survived. This is the ultimate proof of Toyota’s high standards of quality, reliability, and durability.

The second world largest automaker and producer of high quality Toyota Land Cruiser parts, Toyota Motor Corp. according to its North American President needs to discount the Tundra truck to reach its goal of doubling its US share for large pickups.

Jim Press of Toyota Motor North America said in an interview with New York Today, “Incentives for us are not strategic, they are tactical. In the dealer-transaction price game, where the competitors really set the stage with their incentive activity, it drives us to the point where we recognize that incentives are part of this market.”

The Japanese automaker last June has began giving discount reaching as much as $3,500 for the 2007 Tundra that is four months after the truck was release for sale. Tundra’s list prices range from $22,290 to $41,850. Edmunds.com has estimated that the average Tundra incentive that Toyota has given last month reaches $5,083 which is more than from what GM and Ford has offered for their large pickups.

The revamped Tundra that was built in San Antonio was made even bigger and more powerful than its predecessor and for the very first time Toyota will be directly competing with Ford’s F-Series and GM’s Chevrolet Silverado trucks. The Tundra US sales have increase by 44 percent to 82,840 in the first half of this year that is despite the fact that the industry-wide total for large pickups fell by 3.1 percent.

According to John Casesa, managing partner of Casesa Strategic Advisors LLC in New York, the size of incentives given for the Tundra is quite unusual for any new Toyota product. He also added, “To some extent they are really struggling with Tundra, and domestic companies are fighting back ferociously.”

Last June, the average Tundra price or the price which customers actually pay including incentives has reached $33,605 according to Edmunds.com. The Santa Monica, California-based company also added that the average price for Ford’s F-150s was $29,657 while for GM’s Silverado 1500s its $29,151.

As usual the increasing gasoline prices was blamed for the slow sales of the trucks but Press assured that consumer demand for pick-ups will not fade for long. He added, “Fuel prices will not substantially change the dynamics and the size of the market, but they will require product attributes that respond more to the environment of higher gas prices or greenhouse-gas concerns or environmental needs.”

Press further added, Toyota is selling “about double the volume of the last- generation Tundra in terms of where we were last year, in a segment that’s down. We’re right on our target. Long term, it’s a segment we really need to be in to continue to grow with our customers as they come into our product line.”

It can also be noted that for the first quarter of this year Toyota has beaten GM in terms of sales volume which simply shows the increasing demand for Toyota products in the world.

Toyota Motor Corporation has announced recently that it would be providing a total of 220 vehicles of which will include 134 Prius Hybrid passenger vehicles. These Toyota vehicles are to be used as official cars for the 11th International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championships in Athletics Osaka 2007 (Osaka 2007) which will run from August 25 through September 2, 2007 in Osaka, Japan.

Toyota the producer of durable and high quality Toyota car cover is the official automotive partner for the Osaka 2007. Toyota has also previously become the official partners for the 2003 Championships in Paris and the 2005 Championships in Helsinki. For this year’s Osaka Championship, Toyota will be helping to promote the IAAF’s environmentally considerate Green Project by means of providing vehicles that have less damaging impact on the environment.

Aside from the Prius, other vehicles such as the FCHV-BUS (a fuel-cell hybrid vehicle bus), the Alphard Hybrid minivan, and the Dyna light-duty hybrid truck are to be provided by Toyota. Aside from the Osaka 2007 Championship, Toyota is also scheduled to supply the vehicles such as Welcab vehicles (especially those equipped vehicles) for use by those competitors in wheelchairs. These vehicles are to be employed for a variety of uses like for instance serving as the lead vehicle or the media vehicle for men and women’s marathons plus transport athletes and officials.

For this year’s championships, as a way of showing support to the children who will take on the responsibilities of the next generation, Toyota will give 900 people with free tickets to come and witness the performances of some of the world’s top athletes. For those interested the ticket applications will be accepted starting July 20 through August 6, 2007.

The applications may either be submitted online or by postcard and in the event that the number of applicants exceeds the number of tickets, a draw will be held to select ticket recipients.

The Green Project was launched by the IAAF starting with the 11th IAAF World Championships in Athletics with the aim of contributing to environmental conservation. The objectives of the project include implementing measures that would help in reducing environmental impact and at the same time collect donations which are to be used for afforestation initiatives.

Now she smelled it burning and noticed a howling sound. the car would not turn off. she had to disconnect the battery to make it stop. The burning smell was coming from a black box next to the battery. Does anyone know what this could be?
