Toyota comes up empty versus the new Silverado.
04 Apr 2007 by DBYRD
Toyota has spent more than $1 billion-a reported $400 million more than
originally intended-on a brand-new factory for the Tundra in San
Antonio, Texas, smack dab in the middle of America's single largest
pickup-truck market. And right about now, Toyota's marketing team is
kicking off a multimillion-dollar Tundra charm offensive through the
heartland of America-a string of sponsorships, promotions, and events
aimed at giving potential buyers hands-on experience with the new truck. read more...

A Sign of the Times

Designing an effective gas/electric hybrid drivetrain is never easy.
After all, that drivetrain must work perfectly no matter what it's
asked to do, and coordinating the dance between internal combustion
engines and electric motors takes serious computing. But it's tough to
do with full-size pickups and SUVs that are expected to handle wide
variations in their duties. After all, an empty pickup is a different
animal than one running loaded with bricks and sand. And an SUV that's
taking the kids to school and picking up groceries has different
demands than one towing a cabin cruiser up over California's San Marcos
Pass to Lake Cachuma. It's such a tough challenge, Toyota is rumored to
be having a frustrating time engineering a version of its Hybrid
Synergy Drive to fit successfully to the Tundra. But GM thinks it has
the challenge licked and announced at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show
late last November that it'll begin selling a hybrid version of the GMC
Yukon during the 2008 model year. read more...
