When you think about it … what have we been waiting for, forever now?  Well, we have been waiting for a plug-in car and that is exactly what Toyota is giving us!  Finally, they have announced that they are going to be releasing in 2011 the brand new Toyota Prius PHEV, PHEV means Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle.  This is a program that is going to start out as a lease but with success, I think that you will be able to buy these awesome cars.

Toyota will be building and deploying somewhere around six hundred examples of the Toyota Prius PHEV for testing which is mostly going to take place in Japan.  The Japanese market will get about 230 units and then about 150 will go to the states and finally, 200 will go over to Europe.

The Toyota Prius PHEV is honestly one car that I think I want to invest in.  Not only is it safe for the environment but it actually looks awesome!

This thing … it looks like a big brown … well. The word I am thinking of here starts with a T and rhymes with “bird.” Whoever guesses that word first wins a brand new Toyota Venza! (I’m just kidding. It may look a little blah and stinky, but making fun of it does not pay me enough money to actually afford one.)

But anyway! The crossover sedan was revealed last year at the Detroit Auto Show. I thought maybe it would look better to me in a year, but it doesn’t.

I don’t care how refined the reviewers and automakers say it is; you can put a lot of frosting on a piece of poo and it still looks like a piece of poo.

Granted, choosing another color for photo ops would probably make this better, but marketing is everything, and if what you see is what you get here, I don’t want to get it at all.

Oh Toyota, you really are coming out with some of the coolest cars on the market aren’t you?  They have done it again folks; Toyota has impressed me all over the place with the brand new, 2010 Toyota Mark X.  This particular car is actually going to be a rear-wheel drive sedan that I think is going to be one of those cars that makes history.

Not only does the 2010 Toyota Mark X look really, really cool and nothing like a standard Toyota, but I have to say that this car is going to drive awesome too.  There is going to be two engine options: a 2.5-liter V6 producing 203 horsepower and a new, larger 3.5-liter V6 reportedly producing a healthy 315 hp.

Come on – who doesn’t love that?  Really guys, go ahead and take a look at the 2010 Toyota Mark X!
