Toyota plans ultra-inexpensive car

Quote

Toyota Motor Corp. plans to build a low-cost car undercutting Renault's emerging-market Logan through a "radical" rethink in design and production, the president of the fast-growing Japanese automaker said.

"The focus is on low-cost technology," Toyota president Katsuaki Watanabe told Britain's Financial Times newspaper in an interview published Monday.

He declined to set a price for a low-cost car but said it would be "at least" less than the Logan.

Renault has started production of the Logan, which will cost from 5,000 euros (6,200 dollars) on up, touted as a budget model for consumers in emerging economies such as China and Russia that conforms to European standards.

$6000 dollars is pretty cheap for a new car and I bet it will probably get good gas mileage as well.  I wonder how safe it will be though.

Wow, that is very interesting. That would really take over that segment. Toyota makes a great car and I am sure, if this goes through, it will be safe, and reliable.

Toyota's crash test are always up to par. Usually, 4 star or better. Additionally, the United States has pretty stern rules about auto safety.


I can't wait to see what happens.
