Reading The Tea Leaves: Does Toyota Have A New MR2 On The Way? Circumstantial Evidence Suggests It!

(By Tom Lohnes)– To Enthusiasts, a brand-newToyota MR2 seems like a dream. With all cars getting heavier, duller, as well as a lot more automated, a back-to-basics, affordable, enjoyable vehicle is what the automobile area needs to take a breath some life back right into the modern-day automotive sector. Well, two points have surfaced in the previous week approximately that kind of cause the suggestion that it is returning soon. Cool!Dated June 24, 2022, a paper just recently showed up on Toyota of Australia’s website labeled “MR2 new air conditioning kit”. This quite possibly might be a re-production component for among the older models, however this could additionally suggest the brand-new vehicle is coming sooner than we assumed if they’re currently making replacement components for them. Questionable is exactly how quickly the record was removed from the internet site. As quickly as the user that uncovered the listing clicked the link, a 404 error popped up, leaving nothing to be seen. That wouldn’t hold true if it was simply a substitute part, right?

The second thing is simply a rumor, however an internet user from Japan claimed on a discussion forum that Toyota, Suzuki, and Daihatsu are working on a mid-engine sports car. If this is true, it is most likely just a Kei car for Japan just, however there is still a chance that the three business are assembling on a bigger, better vehicle. Obviously, several MR2 rumors have been heard out of Japan, as well as not a single one has been true until now, so certainly take that with a charitable aiding of salt, but Toyota is understood for its sports car cooperations, as well as Suzuki has actually made some wonderful driver’s automobiles, so anything is feasible.

Something mid-engine is definitely in the works over in Toyota city, and also it is just an issue of time prior to we find out what it is. Toyota lately debuted the Toyota Sports EV idea, as well as it looks very MR2 like. Ideally it will have an engine, however an original Tesla Roadster-style car most definitely would not be bad either. Expect a lot more information in the next few months.

The China Syndrome: Ford Has Released A New 2023 Explorer For The Chinese Market– How Much Of It Is Coming Here?


The China Syndrome: Ford Has Released A New 2023 Explorer For The Chinese Market – How Much Of It Is Coming Here?

(By Tom Lohnes)– Ford jut unveiled an”brand new”2023 Explorer for China, as well as it may simply give us some mean the freshened Explorer hitting US coasts in 2024. Intriguing … Boasting a brand new Front and rear end, a completely redesigned interior, and also an enormous 27-inch display, the 2023 Chinese Explorer is definitely an interesting-looking automobile. With the revitalized design, the Chinese version appears like the 2016-2019 version with a bigger grille, instead of the most recent model with a little nip-and-tuck. In advance, the grille is enlarged and the fronts lights are connected with an LED light bar, and also in back the Ford logo is moved down, as well as there is an “Explorer” text where it as soon as was. Other than that, the Chinese design is precisely the like the residential design on the exterior.

On the within, however, is where the export design gets a bit of a benefit. Unlike the US Explorer’s chunky, bland, low-grade plastic-fest with a few screens combined in, the Chinese Explorer has a really perfectly created interior, with a well-integrated electronic scale collection, and also certainly that massive screen that looks like it is meant to be utilized much more by the traveler than the motorist. Just top-trim examples are revealed in the press videos, the Chinese design actually looks a step over the American one in almost every method. I truly wish this is a sign of what’s to find for America, due to the fact that the current Explorer here is practically the interpretation of meh.

Ford has actually confirmed a refreshed Explorer en route for 2024, as well as ideally it takes signs from the new-for-China design that is going into manufacturing in a couple of months. Perhaps just rethink that display, and it would be ideal.

While there are some more races to be run by the end of the year where radial tires will be a part, this is really the last 100% radial focus event on the calendar that everyone pays close attention to. As always, the track was prepped, the surface was holding onto big horsepower, and the high tension was sorted out with all classes and categories through a chilly week in Valdosta.

The real magic of radial style racing comes in the spring and the fall. It’s the cool air, the cooler tracks, and the constant improvements that these teams make which drive the whole genre of competition forward. This collection of images will show you a wide swath of categories and loads of cars you likely have never seen before.
