TOKYO — Toyota Motor Corp.'s sales surged 45 percent in North America in the latest quarter while operating profit in the region doubled to help the automaker raise its full-year profit outlook.

Regional sales climbed to 598,000 units in the three months ended Sept. 30, the company's fiscal second quarter, up from 413,000 a year earlier, when sales worldwide were hampered by the earthquake in Japan.

Operating profit in North America jumped to 64.9 billion yen ($807.1 million) in the quarter, from 32.5 billion yen the year before. Toyota attributed that partly to increased output. Toyota's global net profit more than tripled to 257.9 billion yen ($3.2 billion).

"In North America, operating income improved as a result of increased vehicle production and sales, despite the decreased contribution from financial services," Executive Vice President Satoshi Ozawa said while announcing the results.

With U.S. demand rebounding and Toyota's supply chain back to normal, Japan's biggest carmaker increased North American production 42 percent to 391,000 vehicles in the quarter.

The healthy results in North America helped offset sliding business in China.

Toyota raised its full-year net profit forecast by 2.6 percent to 780 billion yen ($9.7 billion) even after sales in China, the world's biggest autos market, virtually halved following a popular backlash against Japan because of a territorial dispute.

A year ago, Japanese manufacturers were still struggling from the aftermath of the March earthquake and tsunami. In North America, Toyota's operating income increased by 121.0 billion yen to 182.6 billion yen.

Toyota's U.S. sales rose 16 percent in October from a year ago, giving it, and its Lexus luxury brand, a 13.9 percent market share, up from 12.3 percent a year ago.

Sales at Toyota and its two Chinese joint ventures dropped 49 percent in September from a year earlier and 44 percent in October. Honda's China car sales more than halved last month. But, with about 12 percent of its global sales in China, Toyota has lower exposure there than Nissan and Honda.

Shares in Toyota, valued at nearly $135 billion -- almost as much as Honda, Nissan and Hyundai combined -- are up by a quarter this year, easily outpacing Honda's 4.5 percent gain, while Nissan is flat. The benchmark Nikkei share average is up almost 7 percent for the year to date.

Create art: as cars become masterpieces

2012-11-02T06:30:00.004-07:00

Despite the fact that the vast majority of the world's cars - black, silver and white color, not everyone likes the boring classic colors. There are a sufficient number of bright fans who purchase the red, blue and green cars. Some buy even yellow, though Jeremy Clarkson and warns that yellow car shows that its owner labile psyche.

But often the tuner as a tattoo artist, working on a "templates", with the result that all the "not so" are obtained by the same perso

Periodically, though certain pet studio release motorists truly original machines. For example, Hamann.

Peugeot RCZ already in Russia

2012-05-03T00:41:00.000-07:00

About three years ago, the emergence of Peugeot RCZ looked strange.The fact that this model is still built and launched into production, could be described as a happy coincidence. Such a project was in demand and he decided to give the green light, and yet this might not happen. Usually such projects are called image and see their purpose in recruiting new customers. So their future is not always rosy. With these models, customers explained that the company can make beautiful, surprising, and simply does not stand still. The only difference is that some automakers, such models are not available and therefore superexpensive for mere mortals. At Peugeot RCZ with her everything was somehow more humane.

This model and mission to fulfill brand advertising, and went into production. It is so innovative for Peugeot, that the company decided to leave the letter for her name. Numerical solutions, as you may have noticed, for it was not. The numbers 1 through 9 in the first row is occupied by other models, and marketers continue to rivet the zeros are not solved.In addition, it broke all the stereotypes compartment walls in the office design company. The only thing that upsets some general rejoicing - similar to the first Audi TT. It seems that the department was ordered to take the German classics, and demonstrate this, what would happen if it came up in France. Something like the French experiment on German shank. In the end, though, went a hell of a nice piece of meat, but that's because he is good?On the surface, that is interesting, RCZ does not differ from the concept three years ago. All the decoration elements are stored, and this is very strange. Waves on the roof, causing most of all emotion, and form a vyshtampovok foglights in the front bumper - all in place. The main emphasis - low box, it's a sports coupe. Its height is only 1.36 meters, which means that quietly sit in a chair can not be - have accurately from above on the flop completely comfortable seat with integrated headrest. As an added accent - a modest-sized rear spoiler, looming outside. View does not close, but his work in producing the required downforce performs regularly.The interior compartment in this model is not as Creakle, as the exterior.Inside, everything looks pretty humdrum. You sit down and just think you're in the usual 308. Is that the complex form of the surrounding stands like that, you're not in a simple hatch. The window line is very high, and for some it can be very uncomfortable moment, because due to the low growth you will feel trapped. From complexes in this regard should not be, with high growth here, too, is not particularly comfortable. Plus sloping shape of the roof crushes in the front passenger mentally and physically in the rear is.So the main disadvantage - this car should be getting used to. At first he was very uncomfortable. Find the right fit is not so easy, and the visibility a little bit annoying, but after a while it all goes away, leaving only the pleasure of driving. In this regard, coupe still realizes the potential inherent in it, even with low-power motor. Do not really like the look of gearshift, which could have been made and more elegant. Yes, and the definition of work, he was not impressed.Peugeot RCZ, by the way, wider and lower than usual for Peugeot representative of the C-segment - the model 308. McPherson front and rear torsion beam is now set up differently - in sports. This coupe a wider track (+54 mm front and 72 mm rear), and it radically changes its behavior on the road. Add your points in a common fund, and 19-inch wheels, as well as undervalued by 20 mm ground clearance. Drives, by the way - it is a huge part of the visual image of the car. Put the other, and you'll see how it will be darkened.In order to facilitate climbing up steep slopes all versions of Peugeot RCZ come with Hill Assist. This feature is in conjunction with standard ESP, the system dynamic stability (DSC), electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) and traction control system ASR.According to the recent tradition of beautiful coupe were not only equipped with powerful engines, but also quite affordable units impotent. In our case we are talking about a small 156-strong turbo "Euro-5." Its working volume is 1.6 liters. It features not only a turbocharger but also a direct fuel injection. Feels like it is still too thoughtful for the class sports coupe, but if we take into account only urban riding, it is enough. Another thing is that the more demanding customers are unlikely to stop the choice on such a weak modification. There is a line and a more powerful machine with a pair of turbines. With the same 1.6-liter working volume of its output is 200 hp Engines, as you probably guessed, are still the product of collaboration thus Peugeot with the company BMW.At the moment, these little cars in the capital, and this creates a certain aura of mystery around them. The people are very willing to pay attention and are constantly looking at the dent on the roof, sympathizing with the strange accident that was not there.The cost of the simplest modifications to the base of 1,340,800 rubles, which in itself is pretty decent. If we add to this the various aesthetic improvements like the music of JBL, leather trim anything that comes to hand, as well as personalize the vehicle with the help of color "pearl" and changed the color roof, the price tag can easily pass for a mark of 1.5million. A more powerful version, incidentally, costing 1,442,700 rubles in the base, and its initial set of the option is no different. So in any case, you get a 1.6-liter engine, and it may well create a certain set of customers. So the main rate of the car still on the look that really worked.
