Toyota's incoming chairman wants new Supra

Toyota Motor Corp.'s incoming chairman said he wants the sports car the company is developing with BMW to be a midsized vehicle comparable to the discontinued Supra. Toyota's next sports car should be like the Supra so that it doesn't overlap with the 86 coupe, Takeshi Uchiyamada said in an interview today in Osaka at a gathering of members of the Keidanren, Japan's biggest business lobbying group. Still, such decisions are up to engineers, Uchiyamada said.

BMW Individual debuts 760Li Sterling

If you want a BMW 760Li that's even more luxurious than the already luxurious stock 760Li, and don't want to take it to an armorer or coachbuilder who will stretch the rear doors and add a limousine partition to the inside, BMW Individual has something a little more low key on the menu. BMW Individual is a customization division without the company, one that lets customers tailor their cars further by specifying unique materials for the interior, as well as create unique paint colors. The customization process doesn't stop there, as beyond the special trim selections offered by BMW Individual for each particular model, customers can go to BMW Individual Manufaktur, a division of BMW Individual, for even more personalized modifications to their cars.
