You think Lexus, you think sleek. Luxurious. Classy. Rich. Those are the words that come to mind. Am I right?

Set to get its much anticipated reveal at — you guessed it — Geneva, this compact model is a first in many ways.

One way is that it is the first to be shown from Toyota’s new luxury brand.

Wait. Toyota? Luxury? What? Well, okay, sure.

Maybe that explains why … none of those aforementioned adjectives come to mind when I look at this car.

It is bland. It is boring. It is hardly even ordinary. Mediocre though? Sure. Yes. It is definitely that.

Right now however, there are many people that are actually filing lawsuits again Toyota to pay for things like – higher car insurance premiums because they crashed because of the fact that their gas pedal was stuck.

What do you guys think about this?  For me – I think it’s a great idea.  I mean honestly, I think that Toyota was stupid to not start the recall earlier.

Well, this car, for one. It is the newest concept from Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt. Ltd., otherwise known as TKM. It is scheduled to be revealed in New Delhi at the beginning of the month, at the Auto Expo for 2010.

Two different models will be unveiled: a four door model and a five door model. Nevertheless, the concept represents a compact car, one that will be available in India later in 2010. Succinctly, the company maintains that the Etios is designed to combine quality features with new technology.

As it happens, the Etios was developed especially for India.

During the developmental process, many cities and even homes in the country were visited, so that developers and designers could actually see what consumers wanted and needed.

Well, I can tell you that the 2011 Toyota Sienna is actually going to be lower than the 2010 or even the 2009 price … by about $340.00 dollars that is.  It is going to run about $24,260 starting and that does not include a whole lot.

The great thing about the 2011 Toyota Sienna is the fact that it is awesome on the road … and definitely a clever little SUV in the way of space.

It is set to be revealed at the motor show in Tokyo.

The vehicle is designed for urban use. It is propelled electrically, and it is a commuter with four seats. It is supposed to focus on the relationship existing between people, cars, and what society will be like in the future.

The vehicle adopts the Vibrant Clarity design philosophy being used by Toyota. Its front cowl is low and there is an added window located right below the windshield, which is meant to allow more forward visibility. There are clusters of rear lamps, made with LED units which are see through, and they are designed to improve the driver’s visibility from all the way around.
