Toyota, like any car maker, is subject to the whims of the market as much as any other manufacturer. While Toyota’s president Aiko Toyoda seems to be pushing more for his pet project, Gazoo Racing to guide the company forward, the bZ4X has been revealed as a concept. Not a prototype, like the Cybertruck, or F-150 Lightning. Is it too little, too late?

The Rimac Nevera is a dream car. It’s a limited run battery-powered hyper-car from Croatia. It ran against a Ferrari SF90 Stradale and left the Italian vehicle in the dust. Seriously, this new vehicle is an absolutely amazing machine to watch.
