August 08, 2009 :: Posted by - zzarizi :: Category - Subaru, Toyota

Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda officially made clear that the automaker is in fact working on a joint project with Subaru to build an affordable sports car. Toyoda made the statements at the Center for Automotive Research’s Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, Michigan

The new car will be stylish, yet fuel-efficient and affordable – a vehicle that customers can get passionate about.

The project is an unconventional one for the Japanese automaker, but is part of a new direction that its new CEO, a self-proclaimed ‘car nut’, wants to take the company in. “I want to see Toyota build cars that are fun and exciting to drive,” he said, adding that the Toyobaru will be fast-tracked to market.

Subaru Justy

February 25, 2009 :: Posted by - bdfabregas :: Category - Subaru

First of all, I want give my apology to all the readers for my awful language when you read this blog. I’m on my way to improve my language, so I just hope that you will understand all my sentences.

For this entry, I just want to introduce to all the readers with the Justy from Subaru. It had been introduced at 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. This car is basically re-badged version of the Daihatsu Sirion and for the Malaysians maybe think about a Malaysian car when look at this car.

This Subaru Justy use the front, 1.0L DOHC 12-valves inline 3 cylinders engine. This engine boost about 68 bhp @ 6000 RPM, about 51 kW and torque 69 lbs.ft @ 3600 RPM, about 94 N.m. This power brought to the wheels by the 5-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive configuration.

Enough with the performances of the engine, what about on the road? This Subaru Justy can reach the high speed of 99.4 mph (160 kph) while the acceleration static to 60 mph in 13.5 seconds. Don’t you think it great for a 1.0L engine’s car to reach this top speed?

So, we come to the best part of the car’s review. Absolutely it is how the car looks. Like I said before the Malaysian will get the idea which Malaysian’s car that look like of this one. Just take a look.
