Toyota confirms NS4 plug-in hybrid concept and production Prius C for Detroit

Filed under: Concept Cars, Detroit Auto Show, Hybrid, Toyota, Electric

Toyota is bringing a new concept to the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The company calls its NS4 showcar an "advanced" plug-in hybrid, though it hasn't shared any more information beyond the vehicle's name. While we can't say for certain, odds are the concept will give us a glimpse of what the company has planned for future hybrid design instead of boasting any tangible next-generation technology. As you may recall, Toyota and BMW recently partnered up to create a new lithium-ion battery pack, so it may be some time before we see the tech debut, even in a concept vehicle.

Toyota has also made it clear the company will bring along the Prius C, which will make its North American debut at the Detroit show (see gallery below). The Prius C rides on a platform about the same size as the Yaris, but comes packing a hybrid drivetrain. Word has it the vehicle will come with Prius-besting EPA fuel economy figures, too. Hit the jump for the brief press release, and stay tuned for more information as we get closer to the Detroit show.

This is the second Toyota Camry I have bought

This is the second Toyota Camry I have bought from Hudson Toyota. Both experiences were OUTSTANDING!!!!! From the moment we walked in the door, Mike made the whole experience positive. He helped us find the Best car with the highest safety rating and within our budget for our daughter who is turning 16. I cannot express enough how Easy and how quickly the buying experience was!!!! Like most people, I value my time, and spending the whole day at a dealership is NOT what I ever want to do. Mike was made the whole process quick and painless. I appreciate that tremendously. Since I have owned the vehicle, Mike has made every effort to make sure I am 100% satisfied. Customer satisfaction is what keeps a business going. Mike and Hudson Toyota has continued to excell in this area ...

Toyota Supra rumors continue with 400-hp hybrid power

Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Toyota, Rumormill

Have we told you how badly we want a reboot of the Toyota Supra? One of the iconic cars of Gen X youth, the Supra died an untimely death in the mid-1990s along with the rest of the Japanese sports car market. This was, of course, long before most of us had managed to graduate from college and get decent enough jobs to be able to afford anything more exciting than a used Honda Civic.

So yes, we hang on every word out of Japan, and the latest comes via Motor Trend. It's reporting that a hybrid, 400-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 powertrain is being tested for possible release in 2015. The new Supra would look a lot like the FT-HS concept that Toyota showed at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show, according to the magazine, which also says that if we really want to see this Supra successor, we'd better hope the Toyota GT 86/Scion FR-S does well.

Everyone was excellent to deal with, I highly recommend this dealership if you want to purchase a new vehicle. Lane was an excellent salesman, very polite and gave us the needed time to make a decision and explained the car accessories completely. The staff that handled the paper work was also excellent.

Kentucky-built Toyota Camry headed to South Korea

Filed under: Sedan, Plants/Manufacturing, Toyota, South Korea

For years Detroit automakers carped about the low value of the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar, but these days, the opposite is true. The yen has rocketed up in value versus the dollar, and Japan's automakers are taking significant measures to mitigate its bottom-line-killing effects. In October Toyota demanded lower prices from its Japanese supply base, and now the Camry will be built in the U.S. and shipped overseas.

Toyota notes in the post-jump press release that it will build 6,000 Toyota Camry units in Georgetown, Kentucky and ship the units to Korea. The massive Georgetown plant employs nearly 7,000 employees working around the clock. This marks the first time Toyota will export the American-made Camry, yet Toyota isn't new to U.S. exports. The automaker exports 100,000 vehicles built in the U.S. annually, shipping them to 19 countries.

The announcement is likely an exciting one for workers at the Georgetown plant, and Toyota feels more exports could be forthcoming. Toyota's North America President, Yoshimi Inaba, states "we look forward to other opportunities to continue growing exports from our American operations." Hit the jump to read over the press release.
