Judge tosses lawsuit against Toyota over rats gnawing on car wiringChristina Hall | Detroit Free PressIt's a David and Goliath type story. It was filed on behalf of Albert Heber of Indiana, and owners and lessees of 2012 to 2016 model year Toyota vehicles. A similar lawsuit was filed against Honda in 2016 and dismissed later that same year by the plaintiffs, according to federal court records in California. Regarding implied warranty claims, which also were dismissed, the plaintiffs "fail to allege that Toyota sold them vehicles unfit to be driven," according to court records. The judge also dismissed fraud and consumer protection claims, saying the plaintiffs failed to plead these claims "with the appropriate level of specificity."

Toyota still seems to want a third sports car

The chief engineer Tetsuya Tada on the Toyota Supra project has been a wealth of information as we impatiently wait for Toyota to fully reveal the sports car. But the latest Toyota sports car tidbits from the engineer don't have to do with the Supra, but rather something unannounced. Well, Toyota had a little sports car concept a few years ago called the S-FR . There's also the question of whether this car Toyota comes up with could actually be made cheaply enough to be sold at a price comfortably below the 86's roughly $27,000. That could be difficult without working off an existing platform to keep costs down.Still, even if we didn't get it, we will be curious to see what a third Toyota sports car might be.
