Damn, Where Did That Slab of Concrete Come From?


We're going to guess that Taiwanese authorities placed a slab of concrete in front of this zebra crossing to protect pedestrians from vehicles, but it also seems to work as a punishment tool for impatient drivers.

Take this gifted driver of a black Toyota sedan, who not only disregarded the red light but also tried to make a quick illegal left turn.

NASCAR's Kyle Busch Unveils his “Rowdy” Camry for Toyota’s SEMA Racing Dream Build Challenge


With 104 wins under his belt in all three of NASCAR series, Kyle Busch is certainly one of the sport’s greatest drivers. Busch, who is a household name in the U.S., has earned the nickname “Rowdy” for his driving style.

It's to be expected, therefore, that he would name his entry in Toyota’s Racing Dream Build Challenge competition the 2012 Camry “Rowdy Edition”.

Toyota Issues Massive Global Recall For 7.4 Million Vehicles Over Faulty Power Window Glitch


After the 10 million-vehicle recall in 2009 and 2010 over the infamous unintended acceleration problems, Toyota has once again been hit by a massive recall that concerns a lofty 7.43 million vehicles.

This time, the issue on hand is a faulty power window switch in 14 different models, which may malfunction and offer a “notchy” or sticky feel during operation. The use of a commercial lubricant, instead of the special fluorine grease used by the factory, may result in the melting of the switch and the emission of smoke.

New 2013 Camry SE Sport Limited Edition is Anything but "Sport"


The word "Sport" has become one of the most abused terms in the auto industry by far, and this new edition of the 2013 Toyota Camry is a prime example.

Watch Saudi Arabian Drifters Chase Down a Police Officer


We all know how popular (there's even a music video) but also how dangerous the Saudi Arabian street drifting practice known as 'Hagwalah' is.

We also suspect that all of you who have watched the numerous videos on CarScoop and other websites have surely wondered about the absence of law enforcement, especially with so many deaths and injuries caused by reckless drifters.

Well, here's a video that shows a police car arriving at a gathering of drifters, reportedly in Saudi Arabia (if this incident took place somewhere else, drop us a message and we'll rectify it).

It Came From eBay: Lamborghini Murcielago Kit Car with Camry V6


Usually, our eBay segments consist of Mercury Cougars covered in Bugatti livery or Peugeot 406's vaguely transformed into Ferrari F430's. This on the other hand, is for lack of a better word, pretty impressive.

This Lamborghini Murcielago clone is as close to the real thing in the looks department as we’ve ever seen from most replica models of the sort. Like any kit car though, there are a few downsides. For example, the performance numbers are not anywhere near close to the real thing.

Toyota Unveils its NASCAR Racer that Pretends to be a 2013 Camry

Taxi Driver Runs Over a Man After Being Attacked in Montreal [Warning Graphic Content]


What started out as a war of words between a 47-year old taxi driver and a 23-year old passenger quickly escalated to a hit-and-run incident that took place in Montreal, Canada, around 4 am this past Sunday, April 29.

Canada's Ottawacitizen identified the cab driver as Guercy Edmond, 47, of Laval, and the young man as Benoit Kapelli, 23.

The police have yet to determine what caused the conflict though at least two separate eyewitnesses recorded the incident on film. According to the first person that videotaped the scene, it all started when for unknown reasons a passenger slammed the door of the Toyota Camry cab.

"It began with one of the passengers slamming the door to the cab too hard on exiting the cab," wrote YouTube user Ilaneloc.

"Cab driver jumped out and confronted him on the sidewalk while the other passengers remained inside to pay. I left the scene as the verbal conflict escalated, presuming it would run itself out... I returned home to hear the commotion outside, where the conflict had escalated and the cab driver was aiming his cab in the wrong direction down St-Laurent towards the former passengers," explained Ilaneloc.

Gone with the Wind: Scooter Rider Edition


The vast majority of bikers involved in an accident, no matter how small it may appear to be, will at least sit down to take a breath even if they are not hurt, but not this scooter rider who crashed into the side of a Toyota Camry while attempting to cross through a road without paying attention.

The man literally spun around himself almost touching the ground and immediately left the scene running towards the same direction he was heading with the scooter!

If you have any idea what just went on here, feel free to enlighten (or humor) us in the comments section that follows below the video.

Head past the break to watch the video.

Toyota Camry Sells More Than 100,000 Cars in First Quarter, Could Surpass 400,000 Mark this Year


Automotive enthusiasts were not exactly thrilled with the new Camry, but for mainstream America, Toyota's bread-and-butter sedan model remains the first choice for a large number of buyers.

In fact, with first-quarter sales of 105,405 units, the Camry is not only leading the pack in the passenger car segment with some 9,000 sales more than the second Nissan Altima, but if it continues at the current pace, it could very well break the 400,000-unit barrier for the first time since 2008.

Toyota's "Connections" Super Bowl Ad will Take you from Zero to Snooze in 61 Seconds


Toyota has a secret weapon against its rivals in this year's Super Bowl (well, at least those that have scheduled to air their commercials after the Japanese company): it's called "Connections" and it's one of two spots that it will run during the big game.

Provided you haven't already fallen asleep from the soft voiceover heard in the background, the only vaguely interesting part of the commercial is the appearance of a jacked up older generation Camry riding on massive alloy wheels at around 40 seconds into the clip.

Now that you've been warned, feel free to hop over the break to watch Toyota's second Super Bowl XLVI spot.

Toyota Taxi Driver has Some Really Bad Karma


Did you ever have one of those days that everything seems to go wrong? We don't know how the rest of the day went for the Toyota Camry taxi cab driver seen in the video but in this act everything that could go wrong did.

It all started when he abruptly stopped to let a pedestrian cross the road. We don't know who said what first but the short story is that the pedestrian punched the cab driver a couple of times in the face as he exited the taxi.

However, before he could do anything, his Camry started rolling by itself and hit the SUV that was in front of him! Watch the incident in the video that follows.

It has been a while since we last saw Toyota advertising at the Super Bowl game, but the Japanese carmaker is back after a three-year hiatus with a new commercial for its redesigned 2012 Camry sedan.
