Toyota Is Getting Hit … Hard.

par3088390optToyota has had a rough year and we are only at the end of month two!  With the 8 million vehicles being recalled though, this particular company has had quite the time keeping their customers and this month showed it.  In January, the company was hit hard by their customers and now – now in February, they are actually hit a lot harder.

More and most customers are losing their faith in Toyota and honestly, that is hurting them a lot.  While the news may not be new, Toyota is still one of the top automakers in the world right now … they are just hitting a bad spot is all.

Here is hoping that Toyota is going to be able to recover in March and that the top automaker is going to keep its spot!

Ridin’ High with Citroen

citroen-ds-high-rider-conceptI do not know if I have adequately professed this before, but I am generally a fan of many European cars. Specifically, I have a soft spot for Citroen models, so you can imagine my delight when I stumbled upon a new concept, the Citroen DS High Rider.

This picture is among the very first photographs recently revealed of the concept, which will be officially unveiled at Geneva’s eightieth annual motor show. It is only the second concept design in the DS line, which is a new one for Citroen. It is classified as a compact crossover, with a design aesthetic meant to mix a coupe’s elements with a compact, smaller sort of SUV.

Better still? It has a diesel engine that works in tandem with a totally electric motor.
