    Detroit Auto Show Preview: 2016 Toyota Tacoma

      Toyota updates their best selling compact pickup to meet strong new competition.

    Toyota is updating their best selling compact pickup, the Tacoma, to meet strong new competition. Toyota released a few pictures today of the upcoming 2016 Toyota Tacoma. No details have yet been released on power and specifications.

    The Tacoma has been updated to more closely resemble it's bigger brother the Tundra. We do know that 4-cylinder and V6 engines will be available, but we do not know yet if they will be carry overs from the current model.

    Full details on the 2016 Tacoma will be revealed on January 12, 2015 at 12:50 pm at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. We will be on hand to bring you pictures and details from the show floor.

    Wonder if that was a TRD model based on the exhaust note.

     

    I will have to say this is another BUTT UGLY truck from them. It has that same uglyness that the 4Runner has and the tundra. But then conservatives have been known to buy turds by the millions. So I guess it will sell well.

    It will sell well to the folks who love Toyota but I do not see it breaking new ground. Styling is not a lot different and I just do not see it making the impact the two GM trucks will have on the segment. Not until a Ranger or smaller Ford arrives will there be much change to this segment since GM's entry.

     

    Brand loyalty is very strong in the truck segment no matter the size.

     

    The Toyota will be a better truck for sure but It will not change as many minds as the GM line.

    It looks like they took the previous Taco and added a Taurus grille and longer bed. More of an MCE but I'm sure Toyota will call this thing all new. I wouldn't even be surprised if the drivetrains were mostly carryover with maybe a switch to 6 speed automatics across the board.

      Municipal elections and French language laws are a hot subject. But...the front and center issue are bike lanes.  The outgoing administration, 2 time winner, has went bike lane crazy. Although very successful, as the video suggests, which is good, the mayor of Montreal also neglected to address and the automobile. She waged war on the automobile rather than make cars and bikes live together in harmony.  Now these elections are all about automobile love and bike hate. Truth be told, Montreal businesses ARE suffering BECAUSE parking and getting around the city centers have been hijacked by bike paths. While the people living in those areas is great, people coming INTO the city with their cars cant do it and so by pass Montreal all toghether and find their entertainment and shopping needs in the suburbs.  I like the idea of bicycles in the city, but not total obliteration of car driving either.  Plus, all the city money available from the Provincial government went to construct these bike paths but NONE of it went to updating aging subterranean infrastructure (lots of aging pipes broke and flooding happened downtown and old Montreal etc.), repairing  potholes and even having decent snow removal.   Montreal issues.

      Its inevitable. This admin along with several rich folk who do not want to pay their fair share in taxes want oligarchy and fascism for the US.   If protests wont work, and they wont as that means a government cares for what its citizens wants and needs,  then violent clashes will eventually happen if the citizens do not agree with their freedoms be taken away.   And let us not be blind to the fact that yes indeed, American citizens' rights ARE taken away. Piece by piece ever so slowly.  But its not as if the process is behind closed doors. Its WIDE open.        Even Indigenous peoples are involved. And its THEIR land to begin with that Americans and Canadians play greedy with... But sadly, these protests will not work. It is by design from this admin to turn the country into a fascist country.
