It's a Detroit special this week, as we look at a production-ready concept from Lexus, one from Infiniti that's that not quite there yet and how an Indian car maker could become a big thorn in Fiat Chrysler's side. Throw in some jokes from charismatic Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda and it's almost as if you were at the show yourself...
Supra-hero Toyoda
Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda was the undoubted star of the Detroit motor show, delivering a host of classic lines during the Supra press conference. Calling the much-leaked machine “one of the worst-kept secrets in the car industry,” he also said the Supra was “totally lit. According to my son, this means amazing or totally excellent.”
Big plans for little Jeep
Indian firm Mahindra had a stand for the first time, showcasing its locally built Roxar off-roader – the current subject of a legal spat with FCA over its Jeep-based styling. The stand also featured the Detroit-built Marazzo MPV, which is currently sold in India only, although the firm is keen to emphasise that it’s built to “global standards”.
