Toyota sold 1,354,000 units in Asia during the first 11 months of the year (an increase of 4.5 percent compared to the previous year). In contrast, the automaker sold 1,256,000 vehicles in Japan during the same period. China is credited with 622,000 units sold (a 20.7 percent increase) - that number is expected to pass 700,000 units by the end of the year. <br />
<br /> Toyota's North American market is still the sales leader, with 1,770,000 vehicles sold January through November of 2009. However, now that Japan has been bumped aside, the Asian market is expected to solidify its position as the automaker's second-largest market once the numbers are finalized for 2009. <br /> <br /> [Source: <a href="http://www.japantoday.com/category/business/view/toyotas-2009-auto-sales-in-asia-to-top-those-in-japan-for-1st-time">Japan Today</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/03/report-toyota-sells-more-cars-in-asia-than-it-does-in-japan-for/">Report: Toyota sells more cars in Asia than it does in Japan for the first time</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Sun, 03 Jan 2010 13:41:00 EST.

Nissan to display nine cars at Tokyo Auto Salon including GT-R Nismo with data-logging

<br /> With everything going on in January (<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/detroit-auto-show/">Detroit Auto Show</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/ces/">CES</a>, just to name two), it's easy to overlook one of the largest tuning expos in the world: The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/tokyo-auto-salon/">Tokyo Auto Salon</a>. As it's done in previous years, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/nissan/">Nissan</a> will have have a large presence at Japan's aftermarket extravaganza, bringing nine vehicles in various states of tune, along with a new variant of the venerable <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/gt+r">GT-R</a>.<br /> <br /> Nissan hasn't divulged exactly what's included in the updated NISMO Club Sports Package for the GT-R, only saying that it boasts "a high level of sports performance." It's safe to assume that a tweaked ECU, reworked suspension, new aerodynamic components and a set of wheels are part of the package, but the most compelling part is a new data logging system. Developed by Nissan's in-house tuning arm, the NISMO Data Logger Kit allows drivers to download performance data from the GT-R to their computers via a USB cable. Nissan hasn't released pricing or availability yet, but this strikes us as something that could make it to the States in due time.<br /> <br /> Joining the tweaked GT-R, Nissan will show off the Roox Highway Urban Selection concept, a sport-pack equipped Skyline coupe and sedan, a few Autech-tweaked models and the NISMO <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/370z">370Z</a> (known in Japan as the Fairlady Z). You can get a sneak peak at Nissan's booth, along with some of the models it plans to display, at <a href="http://www.nissan.co.jp/EVENT/CUSTOMIZE/">Nissan's Tokyo Auto Salon minisite</a>, and make the jump for all the official details.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/06/nissan-to-display-nine-cars-at-tokyo-auto-salon-including-gt-r-n/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Nissan to display nine cars at Tokyo Auto Salon including GT-R Nismo with data-logging</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/06/nissan-to-display-nine-cars-at-tokyo-auto-salon-including-gt-r-n/">Nissan to display nine cars at Tokyo Auto Salon including GT-R Nismo with data-logging</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 06 Jan 2010 15:28:00 EST.

Report: Obama urged to push Japan to open its cash-for-clunkers program to U.S.
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/government-legal/" rel="tag">Government/Legal</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/japan/" rel="tag">Japan</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/earnings-financials/" rel="tag">Earnings/Financials</a></p><a href="http://www.detnews.com/article/20100106/AUTO01/1060422/1148/rss25"><img hspace="0" vspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/japanese-car-shopper.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
<br /> Like everywhere else on the planet, new car sales are down in Japan (17 percent versus 2008 levels, to be exact). And, like a number of other countries, Japan has decided to spur automobile sales by creating a cash-for-clunkers-style program at a cost of $3.7 billion. Unlike similar programs from other countries, including the one that ended late last year in the U.S., Japan has drafted a set of rules that strongly favors its own automakers - in effect <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/11/report-detroit-three-call-japans-cash-for-clunkers-program-unf/">precluding American cars from qualifying</a> for sales incentives of up to $2,830 per vehicle. Eighty-seven percent of all Japan's domestic models qualify.<br /> <br /> By way of comparison, there were multiple C4C bills considered by U.S. policymakers, and the program that eventually went into effect allowed any and all sufficiently fuel efficient vehicles to qualify for its incentives, regardless of their country of origin. After it was all said and done, 319,300 out of a total of 677,000 (just about half) of all C4C sales were Japanese cars.<br /> <br /> According to the <em>Detroit News</em>, a number of American lawmakers, including Rep. Betty Sutton, D-Ohio, have called Japan's program "discriminatory and fundamentally unfair... unacceptable and outrageous." To highlight her displeasure over Japan's insular auto market - to wit, imports make up less than five percent of all new car sales in Japan - Sutton has introduced a bill this week urging President Obama to attempt to force Japan into including American automobiles in its C4C program. What are the chances of it passing? Something about snowballs comes to mind...<br /> <br /> [Source: <a href="http://www.detnews.com/article/20100106/AUTO01/1060422/1148/rss25">Detroit News</a> | Image: Yoshikazu Tsuno/AFP/Getty Images]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/07/report-obama-urged-to-push-japan-to-open-its-cash-for-clunkers/">Report: Obama urged to push Japan to open its cash-for-clunkers program to U.S.</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 07 Jan 2010 16:01:00 EST.

Report: Toyota to offer hybrid Scion iQ in sedan, five-door
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/detroit-auto-show/" rel="tag">Detroit Auto Show</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/economy/" rel="tag">Budget</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/hybrids/" rel="tag">Hybrid</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/japan/" rel="tag">Japan</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/hatchbacks/" rel="tag">Hatchback</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/scion/" rel="tag">Scion</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/toyota/" rel="tag">Toyota</a></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/new-york-scion-iq-concept/"><img hspace="0" border="1" vspace="4" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/630scioniq.jpg" /></a>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em><sma ll>Scion iQ Concept - click above for hi-res image gallery</small></em></strong></div> <br /> You know that <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/toyotaiq">Toyota iQ</a> your cousin's seen running around Europe and Japan? It's making its way Stateside, first to next week's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/detroit-auto-show/">Detroit Auto Show</a>, then to a Scion dealer near you as a hybrid. This is according to a scoop by <a href="http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2010/01/scion-iq-hybrid-to-come-in-5-door-hatch-sedan-body-styles.html">Inside line</a>. We've known for a while now that the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/29/report-scion-iq-headed-for-america-by-early-2011-with-a-few-cha/">iQ will be showing up as a Scion</a>, just not for certain as a hybrid. Also, according to IL, the fate of the brand hangs in the balance. Also-also, they might (yay!) drop the name iQ.<br /> <br /> That's right, the diminutive Toyota with the silly name is going to greet us as a youth-branded <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/scion">Scion</a>. In multiple flavors, too. First will come a five-door hatchback, followed next by a four-door sedan. The latter is almost a little puzzling - who on earth wants a four-door sedan version - but then we recall all the other cars PR types tell us the American market forces into four-door guise and we're not surprised one bit. The Scion iQ will also come as a three-door hatch. Expect the five-door to show up first, towards the end of 2011.<br /> <br /> The engine options are pretty interesting. If you so desire, a 1.3-liter four-banger will produce 93 horsepower. However, most folks will probably opt for the hybrid version. First of all, the gas and electric propulsion is so cheap that Toyota will be able to sell it for $15,000 or less. Second, expect a 1.5-liter four and some sort of electric motor to produce between 100 and 120 hp and return 60 mile per gallon. Not bad at all. Again, Inside Line ends their scoop explaining that if the iQ doesn't get youngsters buying Scions, nothing will. Er, make that nothing will have a chance to, as Toyota is likely to fold the brand.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/new-york-scion-iq-concept/low/">New York: Scion iQ Concept</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/new-york-scion-iq-concept/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/000_scioniqyc_thumbnail.j pg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/new-york-scion-iq-concept/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/001_scioniqyc_thumbnail.j pg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/new-york-scion-iq-concept/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/002_scioniqyc_thumbnail.j pg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/new-york-scion-iq-concept/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/003_scioniqyc_thumbnail.j pg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/new-york-scion-iq-concept/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/004_scioniqyc_thumbnail.j pg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> [Source: <a href="http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2010/01/scion-iq-hybrid-to-come-in-5-door-hatch-sedan-body-styles.html">Inside Line</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/07/report-toyota-to-offer-hybrid-scion-iq-in-sedan-five-door/">Report: Toyota to offer hybrid Scion iQ in sedan, five-door</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:58:00 EST.

Subaru Impreza WRX STI R205 continues the tradition, still not coming Stateside
<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/sports/" rel="tag">Performance</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/japan/" rel="tag">Japan</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/hatchbacks/" rel="tag">Hatchback</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/subaru/" rel="tag">Subaru</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/tokyo-auto-salon/" rel="tag">Tokyo Auto Salon</a></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-r205/"><img hspace="0" vspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/01-subaru-impreza-r205-630op.jpg" alt="" /></a>
<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>Subaru Impreza WRX STI R205 - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div> <br /> Following in a line of successfully hotter Impreza variants, Subaru has announced the all-new "R205" version of its latest hatch, and in keeping with tradition, it won't be coming to the States.<br /> <br /> As it's done in the past with other "Road Sport" Imprezas, Subaru has raided the Spec C parts bin and fitted all the good kit to the Impreza STI R205, including six-pot (front) and four-pot (rear) upgraded brakes with slotted rotors and cast 18-inch aluminum wheels shod in specially designed Potenza RE070 (245/40R18) tires. Inverted strut and coil springs soak up the bumps in front, with similarly STI-tuned dampers and coils out back, while a front strut tower bar and lower arm stiffening brace help keep the front wheels planted and the steering speaking to the driver.<br /> <br /> Naturally, engine mods are part of the package, and with a retuned ECU, new exhaust and turbo, the R205 cranks out 316 horsepower and 319 pound-feet of torque.<br /> <br /> A few plaques, a bespoke black front grille, new front and rear diffusers and a black spoiler set the R205 apart from run of the mill JDM Imprezas, and if you're fortunate enough to live in the Land of the Rising Sun, it can all be had for 4,510,000 yen (just under $49k). But act quick, Subaru only plans to produce 400 examples when the S205 goes on sale today.

Unofficial Lexus LFA SuperGT contender rendered

<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><sma ll>SuperGT Lexus LFA GT500 - Click above for image gallery</small></strong></em></div> <br /> Take a look at the field of 2010 SuperGT competitors and something's amiss. Nissan's been campaigning its new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/11/nissans-jgtc-gt500-gt-r-officially-unveiled-in-tokyo/">GT-R</a> in the series for two years and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/21/nsx-no-more-honda-hsv-10-gt-ready-to-race-in-supergt/">Honda recently revealed</a> the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/HSV010/">HSV-010</a> before its inaugural run in the series this May. What's missing? A new competitor from Toyota.<br /> <br /> Jyuichi Wakisaka and Andre Lotterer took the overall GT500 win in the team's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sc">Lexus SC430</a> last year, but that model is not long for this world, so it's just a matter of time before Toyota fields a new car in the series. So what's set to take the SC430's place? The answer's obvious: the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/lfa">Lexus LFA</a>.<br /> <br /> Although Toyota's yet to confirm the LFA's entrance (we're expecting an announcement later this year), Iain Chandler, a skilled 3D artist hailing from Australia, has rendered a GT500-class LFA, complete with six sets of livery. While it's far from official it's a pretty good indication of what to expect when Toyota finally pulls the trigger, and Lotterer seems to approve - he posted the images <a href="http://andrelotterer.com/wordpress/">on his site</a>.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/supergt-lexus-lfa-gt500-renderings/low/">SuperGT Lexus LFA GT500 Renderings</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/supergt-lexus-lfa-gt500-renderings/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/01-supergt-lexus-lfa-rend_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/supergt-lexus-lfa-gt500-renderings/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/02-supergt-lexus-lfa-rend_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/supergt-lexus-lfa-gt500-renderings/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/03-supergt-lexus-lfa-rend_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/supergt-lexus-lfa-gt500-renderings/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/04-supergt-lexus-lfa-rend_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/supergt-lexus-lfa-gt500-renderings/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/05-supergt-lexus-lfa-rend_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> [Source: <a href="http://the-ic.deviantart.com/">Iain Chandler/DeviantArt</a> via <a href="http://www.leblogauto.com/2010/01/revons-lexus-lfa-super-gt.html">LeBlogAuto</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/08/the-time-has-come-unofficial-lexus-lfa-supergt-contender-render/">Unofficial Lexus LFA SuperGT contender rendered</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:26:00 EST.

Keeping Up Appearances: Subaru launches JDM Impreza WRX STI A-Line Type S

<small>Subaru Impreza WRX STI A-Line Type S - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div> <br /> Another day, another new special-edition <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/subaru/">Subaru</a> Impreza. There are worse things, after all. This one, however, doesn't quite have the substance of the recently unveiled <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/07/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-r205-continues-the-tradition-still-not-c/">WRX STI R205</a>. Whereas the R205 is a real fire-breathing monster of a hatch, the long-winded <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/wrx">Subaru Impreza WRX</a> STI A-Line Type S (try saying <em>that</em> three times fast) is mostly a trim package.<br /> <br /> That package includes 18-inch gunmetal rims, gold Brembo brake calipers and Recaro buckets in a cockpit decked out with contrasting red top-stitch and a 10-speaker audio system. It definitely looks sharp, but the Japanese consumers that are able to buy it shouldn't expect much in the way of heightened performance over the already stonking STI. The Type S commands a 3,255,000 yen (circa $35k USD) sticker price in its domestic market, so if you want to have a look and you don't live in the Land of the Rising Sun, you had better check it out in our high-res image gallery below.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-a-line-type-s/low/">Subaru Impreza WRX STI A-Line Type S</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-a-line-type-s/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/subaru_impreza_wrx_sti_a-line_type_s_1_thumbnail.j pg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-a-line-type-s/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/subaru_impreza_wrx_sti_a-line_type_s_2_thumbnail.j pg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-a-line-type-s/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/subaru_impreza_wrx_sti_a-line_type_s_3_thumbnail.j pg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-a-line-type-s/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/subaru_impreza_wrx_sti_a-line_type_s_4_thumbnail.j pg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-a-line-type-s/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/01/subaru_impreza_wrx_sti_a-line_type_s_5_thumbnail.j pg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> [Sources: <a href="http://www.nihoncar.com/en/news_details.php?id=1209& utm_source=feedburner&utm _medium=feed&utm_campaign =Feed%3A+NihonCar_EN+%28N ihonCar+EN%29&utm_content =Google+Reader">Nihon Car</a> and <a href="http://www.leblogauto.com/2010/01/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-line-type.html?utm_source=feed burner&utm_medium=feed&ut m_campaign=Feed%3A+leblog auto%2Factualites-automobile+%28Le+Blog+Aut o+-+Actualit%C3%A9s+automobi le+et+videocast%29&utm_co ntent=Google+Reader">Le Blog Auto</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/13/keeping-up-appearances-subaru-launches-jdm-impreza-wrx-sti-a-li/">Keeping Up Appearances: Subaru launches JDM Impreza WRX STI A-Line Type S</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 13 Jan 2010 00:28:00 EST.
