Text Toyota Plans to Keep the Number One Spot Author: Evander Toyota has successfully replaced General Motors as the world’s biggest car manufacturer this year. Their full volume growth can be traced to their introduction of new segments, models and technologies that the Japanese automaker has been a trendsetter of in the world. Their hybrid Prius, FJ Cruiser, the trio of Scion nameplates and the Camry sedan are now no longer just Japanese icons but are, in every sense, Americans too. So it isn’t any wonder why Toyota made it to the number one slot. So will Toyota keep the top spot for good? Like any other champion, turning over the crown to a previously beaten foe surely is not an idea that Toyota relishes. Toyota’s future game plan unusually is published and known to the world. You just have to look in certain sites and you would know what they are cooking for us for the coming few years. Let’s take a look. Drawing from the success of the Toyota Prius, Toyota’s master plan is to make nearly all their vehicles built with their leading hybrid technology. It will give their buyers a choice between fuel and electricity to power their vehicles. A more innovative and redesigned Prius will be out in 2009 as a 2010 model, the delay owed to some problems being encountered with the nickel-metal hydride used by the Prius.

Main innovations include stiffer new body structure, dramatic safety increases, lesser noise, minor boosts in gas mileage and power stemming. The Matrix will be replaced by the Toyota Blade (as it is called in Japan). The 2007 model of the Camry will undoubtedly make a tough rival for Honda’s (maker of Acura replacement parts ) new 2008 Accord model in America’s best selling sedan title. Toyota plans to bring the Camry to half million unit sales per year in the U.S. doubling that of GM’s Impala. The 2012 model of the Camry is an enhanced and redesigned version. The Avalon will be redesigned for the 2011 model year followed by a hybrid, in keeping with Toyota’s goal of having a hybrid version of each model.

For the FJ cruiser, a refresh is due in 2010 and a redesign on 2012. The 2010 model of the 4Runner is a redesigned version. Despite the rumored dropping of the Land Cruiser, a redesigned 2008 model is due this fall with its 5.7 liter engine to generate 380 horsepower. Taking over Land Cruiser’s market position, a bigger Sequoia will arrive probably at the same time as the Tundra’s. The new version offers engine choices between a 4.7 liter and 5.7 liter V8.
