Toyota Makes Engineering Child’s Play

JAPANESE car maker Toyota is putting the fun into engineering, with its unusual Cammatte. Its role is to help inspire the drivers of the future and show them how car design and engineering can be rewarding and fun. Making a return to the International Tokyo Toy Show for the third year running, a new Sport version of the Cammatte is on display in the Toyota Design Lab.

Cars in the living room--art or furniture?

It takes a special kind of person to put a $100,000 supercar in the living room instead of the garage, but we say if you have the means, go ahead and do it. A photo collage that appeared on www.home-designing.com last week showed Ferraris, Maseratis and Lamborghinis sitting in houses as showpieces, like the works of art they are. Our enthusiast side says the owners should be out driving these spectacular pieces of machinery, but something tells us that if you have a Gran Turismo in the rumpus room, there's probably another one in your garage, too.

Show Review: 100% Design Tokyo

Tokyo held its design week late last year, overlapping with the tail-end of the auto show. Though thankfully easier to get to than that, what you get is a bit different to expectations. Japanese are noted for the effort they give presentation: it's in their dress, their language, in how they wrap gifts in stores and serve food in restaurants.
