New Prius: Cooled By The Heat Of The Sun

Climbing into a car that's been parked for a while on even a moderately sunny day can be an uncomfortable experience and is likely to provoke full-blast operation of the air conditioning, using up fuel and increasing emissions. Toyota has solved the problem with a new solar-powered ventilation system that keeps the interior cool, with no need for the engine to be running. And to make sure the temperature is just right before you get inside, it has produced the world's first Remote Air Conditioning control, operated

Toyota IQ Early Adapters

Early indications are that the iconic Toyota iQ is already becoming more to its owners than purely transportation. A good example of this is desert adventurer and author Tom Sheppard who, when he is not travelling across the Sahara or writing his new book “Quiet for a Tuesday,” is designing a unique colour scheme for his own iQ.
