New Toyota Supra to be produced from 2018
BMW and Toyota announced plans a few years ago to team up and make a sports car. Well, it seems as though that little idea will actually see the light, for the German and Japanese automakers have found a little firm willing to manufacture said cars for them. The company in question is Magna Steyr, famed for producing Mercedes’ G-class lineup. Expect the BMW version of the car to be called the Z5, and the Toyota version to be called the Supra. Production will begin in 2018, with a target of 60,000 units yearly. It comes as no surprise then that the firm specialises in low volume cars. However, their goal is to make more cars – last year, the firm built 103,904 cars, but with fresh tooling after some upgrading works, annual production at Graz should surpass 200,000 vehicles in 2018.

Toyota to cease production of FJ Crusier
Toyota will pull the plug on their wildly popular FJ Cruiser come August. The car, which is a modern incarnation of the legendary FJ40 Land Cruiser, was introduced in 2006.
Sales were good initially, but the novelty of owning a retro off-roader eventually wore off, resulting in a significant drop it sales, so much so, that the Japanese automaker pulled the plug on it from the American markets post 2014. However, as sales figures have remained healthy in countries like Australia, the car is still being offered for sale.
However, all good things must come to an end, and the FJ is no exception. Toyota will officially kill off the FJ Cruiser in August. As per cars like the Land Rover Defender, and the Mercedes G wagen, the FJ Cruiser is an oddball in the world made up of mild-manner, and luxurious crossovers. Their unique and rugged characters certainly makes them stand out from the crowd, which helps them hold their value.

Toyota shows off GT86 Shooting Brake Concept
Want a GT86 but wish you could lug more things around? Well, with the GT86 Shooting Brake Concept, now you can! Or rather, IF they make it, you can. The GT86 Shooting Brake Concept is Toyota’s stab at creating a car that optimally balances the practical and sporting sides of an automobile. The Concept is mechanically identical to the standard coupe, and is fully functional.
The car was a side project done by Toyota Australia. The ¼ scale model was so impressive, that the chief engineer of the GT86 project, Tetsuya Tada, hand-picked craftsmen in Japan to build the full scale car.
The car would be perfect for carrying carrying surfboards and other unwieldy sports equipment, whilst still being a spirited drive. However, Toyota has no plans to bring it into production at the moment, saying that it is nothing more than a design study, at least for now anyways.
