Every 2022 Toyota GR 86 Comes With A Free Track Day (At Least In The U.S.)

Toyota, at least in the USA, is taking the right approach when it comes to selling their performance Gazoo Racing or GR line-up. With the official U.S. introduction of the all-new 2022 GR 86, they’re including high-performance driving lessons to help new owners get acclimatized to their new ride.

When the Toyota Corolla Cross made its debut in the Philippines, we were the only one brave enough to call the design, “sloppy.” Naturally, we knew Toyota Motor Philippines got hurt, and so a year on, they wouldn’t lend us the keys to their crossover. But we don’t mind, because secretly behind all that hurt, they listened. And what you see here is how the Corolla Cross looks like for the North American market.

Range anxiety is often the first issue that comes to mind when talking about Electric Vehicles or EVs.

Unfortunately, there’s one elephant in the room that almost no car manufacturer wants to talk about; one that can potentially become problematic for EV owners in the long run: heat.

Even the most casual car buff would recognize that the Philippines, despite its stature as a developing country, is full of supercars.

The Range Rover Vogue PHEV Combines Sustainability And Power

The significance of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is, more than anything, its contribution to environmental sustainability. Plug-in hybrids are proven to emit less greenhouse gases and reduces oil dependency in vehicles. In numbers, it consumes an estimate of 30 to 60 percent less petrol than conventional vehicles. That said, with the world feeling the effects of climate change more than ever in recent decades, it is no wonder that more and more car brands have been shifting to non-gasoline engines. In fact, most highly developed countries have already begun to commit to a transition to full electric in the next 20 or 30 years.

In a world where the conversation is dominated by electric vehicles or EVs, Toyota proved that internal combustion engines could still have a future.

Review: 2021 BMW 218i Gran Coupe Sport

The 2 Series is the odd child of the BMW family. Spawning four body styles, it rides on two separate platforms with one being rear-wheel drive, and the other being front-wheel drive. Even more confusing, the 2 Series Gran Coupe you see here is unrelated to the 2 Series Coupe despite BMW being known for coming up with all sorts of derivatives. It’s also clear from the photos that it’s not a coupe; it’s a sedan. The 2 GC’s rather complicated lineage sets the stage on what to expect with the rest of the car.

Fans are empowered nowadays. In the age of social media, they’re your buyer, your FGD, and your most vocal critic all rolled into one. It’s made things like the Synder Cut, and in the case of Ford, the 2021 Ranger FX4 MAX possible. Truth be told, there’s no definitive reason why Warner Brothers would need a four-hour cut of an already mediocre superhero movie, or for Ford to add a fourteenth variant to their already crammed Ranger line-up. Maybe except, and to bring up an anime term, to serve as “fanservice.”
