The Toyota Hybrid-R concept will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this month, and the manufacturer has released full technical details and pictures of the concept.
Thank goodness Japan has a wild side. Interspersed among boatloads of politically correct Toyota Priuses comes the occasional Lexus F hot rod. And over at Nissan, punctuating the truckloads of morbidly thrifted Versas is the random GT-R. The muscular Nissan has a legacy going back decades, but for the most part, this fast and furious coupe boldly goes its own way. Quirky, jerky, and perky, it has so much personality that J.D.

While scanning the press materials for the 2013 Avalon, we noticed the word "sporty" was used on quite a few occasions, and the release even talked about foreign-to-the-Avalon concepts like "throttle response," "steering feel" and "paddle shifters." At the time, it appeared that Toyota was actually getting serious about injecting a bit of youth and enthusiasm into its most geriatric-friendly machine.
Toyota will likely lose its spot as the world’s top-selling automaker due to setbacks related to the March 11 quake and tsunami in Japan. Since the disaster, Toyota is still struggling to recover and has announced massive losses to production stemming from parts shortages and damaged plants.
Still working to repair factories and restore supply chains in the wake of the deadly earthquake and tsunami on March 11, Japanese automakers have said it may take longer than expected for factories to return to full capacity. Production at Nissan and Toyota plants in Japan may not resume for several weeks, according to executives quoted by Reuters.
