The 2011 Toyota Tacoma’s styling changes involve minor alterations to the grille and are typical of revisions intended to keep a model fresh as it advances in years. In fact, this generation Tacoma has been around so long – since model-year 2005 -- that the 2011 changes constitute the second facelift since its introduction. They build on a model-year 2009 freshening that included an argent-painted grille and some new passenger-compartment trim. None of these changes alter the size or shape of a handsome pickup that counts variety among its strengths.

Toyota Toyopet Crown 1958 comfortable ride of a big car
Toyopet offers four-door entry convenience....the comfortable ride of a big car....and still Toyopet is inexpensive to operate and maintain. This is value unattained in any other automobile....regardless of price' - In August of 1957 two Toyopet Crown sedans were put on a ship headed for the west coast of the United Staes. These two examples were the first attempt by a Japanese auto manufacturer to enter the US market. 287 Toyopet's were sold in 1958 and in 1959 there were 976 sold. The Toyopet Crown 4-cylinder 88.7 cubic-inch engine was capable of attaining 78 mph and had a fuel rating of 23.5 mpg.
Some thing have to know about this car:
The Toyopet Crown was the first passenger car sold by Toyota in the US
It was the first Japanese automobile to be exported to the American mainland.
The First Toyopet vehicle was registered in the U.S. after modifications were made to the head lights, tail lights, turn signals, and mirrors to comply with California law.
1958 Toyopet Crown sales totaled 287.
The early Toyopets were underpowered for high-speed freeway travel
Due to deficiencies of the Toyopet Crown for the American market, Toyota set about developing a car more suitable for the U.S. market, which resulted in the production ofhte highly successful 1965 Corona .
Mazda Cosmo The world's first dual-rotor rotary engine car
1967 Mazda Cosmo Sport 110S was the world's first dual-rotor rotary engine production car - was officially launched on May 30th of 1967.
This particular 1967 Cosmo Sport 110S L-110A model is owned by Mazda North American Operations, based in Irvine , California . Records show only two 1967 Cosmos were exported to the United States , this one being registered to Curtiss-Wright Corporation, the North American rights-holder of the Wankel rotary engine, until February 1984 (Mazda was the Asian rights-holder for the use of the engine in motor vehicles). It subsequently changed hands three more times before coming back 'home' to Mazda. The odometer reading is original and correct at a little over 11,000 km.

1972 Mitsubishi Galant designed like American Pony Cars
Mitsubishi Galant GTO was produced from 1970 through 1975 and also known as the Colt Galant GTO. The design was inspired by American Pony Cars such as the Mustang and Firebird. This is understandable since the designer, Hiroaki Kamisago, had studied at the Art Center College of Design located in Pasadena , California . The long hood and rounded head- and tail-lamps are very indicative of the American influence. This marked the first time a Japanese passenger car had a pillar-less design and full side windows.
