We at Jalopnik have determined that actually, the bus is good. It’s fine. It’s great! New York City buses might even be better than the subway. But after seeing this Toyota fuel cell bus concept, I felt a stab of jealousy. Why does everyone else get the cool shit?

Well this certainly doesn’t look boring, this Toyota GR HV Sports Concept thing. It looks damn close to a Toyota 86, just with a different front, rear, interior, a hybrid powertrain and a freaky gearbox. I sort of love it.
Ahead of this month’s Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota is telling us about a lot of cool new shit, like yesterday’s third-generation Century. Today we get a boxy concept car they’re calling the Tj Cruiser, which looks like the car equivalent of a bull in a china shop. In a good way, though.
Remember that adorable retro-futuristic electric compact car concept Honda dangled in front of us a couple weeks ago? Apparently the company’s going to put a sports car body on the same platform to help convince us that EVs are awesome. It’s a great pitch, I just hope Honda’s not planning on pulling a CR-Z with these…
Good morning! Welcome to The Morning Shift, your roundup of the auto news you crave, all in one place every weekday morning. Here are the important stories you need to know.
Got nothing going on in October? Want to see a car that will most likely look like the one we’ve already shown you a picture of? Then you’ll want to hop on a flight to Japan to attend the Tokyo Motor Show because that’s where the new Toyota Supra will reportedly make its debut.
This is the Nissan Boga. Currently, I am in love with it.
A new report from motoring.com indicates that Yamaha’s surprise Tokyo Motor Show concept, the Sports Ride Coupe designed by Gordon Murray, may actually make it to production (for under $70k) in its under-construction European manufacturing plant alongside the company’s upcoming Motiv city car.
Suzuki showed a turbocharged motorcycle engine. Kawasaki a supercharged bike that’s definitely not the flagship H2R, and Yamaha a leaning three-wheeled trike. But, what’s it all mean? Let’s explore the bikes (and more) of the Tokyo Motor Show.
Subaru claims that this limited-edition Impreza WRX STI S207 “aims to be the world’s most enjoyable vehicle.” What vehicle, exactly, will it have to dethrone for that title?
Got a favorite car from this year’s Tokyo Motor Show yet? For me it’s a close call between the Toyota SF-R and that insane van from Daihatsu I secretly want to live in.
Toyota is one of the few still trying to make hydrogen a thing, and nobody really seems to be as interested as with all the electric concepts spewing out of Europe. Toyota’s FCV Plus is trying really hard to change that, offering to not only run itself with hydrogen, but power your home as well.
One of the more seemingly production-ready concepts to emerge from the crazyfest that is the Tokyo Motor Show is the Toyota S-FR sports car. But with the Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ already in the lineup, many have wondered if this sports car is destined to be its replacement.
The Tokyo Motor Show is here, and you know what that means: automotive blue balls! That’s right, it’s the time when we get to stare at sweet concept cars that won’t make it to our roads until they’ve been sucked dry of every ounce of soul and character! Awesome!
Mercedes showed up to the Tokyo Motor Show not with a gigantic luxury yacht, not with a huge horsepower supercoupe, but with the Vision Tokyo hydrogen-powered autonomous minivan. And with no need for a driver, there’s no real need for seats as we know them.
What has McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray been up to these days? A couple cool things, like designing new TVRs and developing tech to make city cars better. Also, this sports car concept from Yamaha, which I really want to happen.
Damn, Japan, you completely schooled us. There is no vehicle that us Americans have even dreamed of that is as forward in space-utilization as the Daihatsu Nori Ori concept unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show.
Unlike some other auto shows, the Tokyo Motor Show is a magical place of concept car wonder. So far this year, it’s shown us multiple new models and concepts that are to die for. Let’s take a moment to look back at the most bizarre cars that Tokyo has ever seen.
