Toyota GT 86 Convertible confirmed

Toyota GT 86 Convertible on the way With the Toyota GT 86 not yet out in the wild, we learn that Toyota are planning a GT 86 Convertible. In what is perhaps one of the least surprising revelations recently, Toyota’s chief engineer has conformed that they are working on a convertible version of the GT 86.

Aston Martin & Mercedes join forces

Aston Martin Production will soon see an injection of Mercedes DNA This isn’t the first time we’ve talked about a partnership between Aston Martin and Mercedes, but according to Car & Driver it’s now just about a done deal. As long ago as March 2009 we reported that Mercedes supplied the basis for the Lagonda SUV Concept (a Mercedes GL), and six months later we reported that Aston Martin were working on a Mercedes S-Class based Lagonda saloon. More recently we reported that the GL-based Lagonda SUV was back on and that Mercedes wanted Aston Martin to put together the next generation of Maybach.

But it seems that report was incorrect, as What Car are reporting that Land Rover has actually approved the Evoque Convertible for production.
