Toyota CS&S Concept



. |
Concerning the CS&S Concept,
Jon Winding-Sørensen
in CarDesignNews writes: "The CS&S was
designed at the Toyota ED2 studio near Nice, France, and is reminiscent of
some of the old Porsche Speedster language with lines from Ghia’s open
Focus (Turin 1992) and combines it with unexpected straight lines for a
unique design language. You may well expect parts of this design,
especially the front, to morph into the coming mini-Toyota being developed
together with Peugeot/Citroen.
The designers also want to demonstrate their latest
interior tricks. A system called Space Touch uses hologram projections
which the driver is to ”touch” to activate certain sub-systems like air
condition or infotainment. We hope it works better than some of the other
recent man-machine interfaces the motorcar industry has offered us lately.
And in case you wondered: CS&S means Compact Sports and Speciality."

Toyota Prius


.

.
The new Prius is equipped with the next-generation Toyota
Hybrid System (THS II), developed around the concept of Hybrid Synergy
Drive that represents a sophisticated fusion of ecology and power. It
not only attains a world-leading level of environmental performance,
extremely high fuel efficiency of 35.5 km/liter and ultra-low emissions,
but also greatly heightens the "fun to drive" quotient through the
further evolution of hybrid power.
Its emphasis
on universal design is reflected in operational controls and advanced
functions and in styling and packaging that aim to redefine the
passenger vehicle category, creating an innovative passenger vehicle at
the forefront of its age and worthy of the name “Prius” (Latin for “to
go before”).

.
Toyota has thoroughly revised the
RAV4 sport utility vehicle (SUV) for 2004, giving it a larger, more
powerful engine, exterior restyling, new safety enhancements and
interior upgrades. The current-generation RAV4 was introduced in 2001
and has been among the most popular models in its segment.
In 1996, the
Toyota RAV4 established a new category of compact sport utility vehicles
(SUVs) based on passenger car engineering. The second-generation model,
designed in Southern California by Toyota’s Calty Design Research and
introduced for the 2001 model year, increased Toyota’s share of this
growing segment. The 2004 revision is designed to strengthen the brand’s
position in the segment that it created, and to give the customer even
greater value and enhanced standard safety features.
