[dr. d]

un nga po ata ung Kijang innova 2014,ngayon nga daw po feb 10 yung release muka nman siyang maganda rin. bago sna kami maginquire sa mga dealers gusto po sana namin malaman kung ano yung mga possible freebies na pwed naioffer s'min,kasi mostly nababasa nmin tools,umbrella,matting as side from that wala na kami alam.tint po ba included sa freebies? and totoo po ba na iba't ibang dealer ibat't iba rin ang pwede nilang ioffer sa client?

i am told toyota runs a tight ship. no outrageous discounts.. what dealers do, is make combinations of freebies, all amounting to the same peso cost. what buyers can do, is to list down freebies they like, and freebies they can dispense with..

TOKYO -- Toyota Motor Corp. reported a fivefold increase in net income for the October-December quarter as huge foreign exchange windfalls powered profits higher.

Net income increased to 525.4 billion yen ($4.99 billion) in the company's fiscal third quarter ended Dec. 31 from 99.9 billion yen ($949.4 million) a year earlier.

Global revenue grew 24 percent to 6.585 trillion yen ($62.58 billion) in the three months, as vehicle sales increased 10 percent to 2.317 million units, the company said today.

The yen's tumbling value against foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar, ramped up earnings in the period. A weaker yen increases the yen value of overseas earnings when repatriated to Japan and makes Japanese exports more competitive internationally.

Toyota booked a foreign exchange gain of 260.0 billion yen ($2.47 billion) in the period. The yen lost about 23 percent of its value against the dollar over the past year, Toyota said.

Big sales gains in North America and Japan also buttressed Toyota's global expansion.

Toyota kept its title as the world's biggest automaker in 2013 by selling a record 9.98 million vehicles and has already surpassed pre-financial crisis sales levels. Analysts estimate Toyota earned about as much profit in 2013 as General Motors Co. and Volkswagen Group combined.

Higher earnings outlook

In announcing fiscal third-quarter results today, the company lifted its earnings outlook to target record profits too. The higher goal underscores Toyota's full comeback from a string of tough years marred by the company's first operating loss in seven decades, a worldwide unintentional acceleration recall crisis and the 2011 killer earthquake-tsunami in Japan.

In the current fiscal year ending March 31, Toyota now targets record net income of 1.9 trillion yen ($18.06 billion), from a previous outlook of 1.67 trillion yen ($15.87 billion). That compares with Toyota's record full-year net income of 1.718 trillion yen ($16.33 billion) in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, right before the economic crisis hit.

That year, the company booked record operating profit of 2.270 trillion yen ($21.57 billion) and all-time high revenue of 26.289 trillion yen ($249.85 billion).

Toyota predicts record operating profit of 2.4 trillion yen ($22.81 billion) in the current fiscal year, but the revenue forecast of 25.5 trillion ($242.35 billion) would be its second highest.

In the third quarter, Toyota's unit sales climbed 10 percent to 664,000 vehicles in North America, the carmaker's biggest market. The carmaker posted even more impressive gains at home in Japan, where sales advanced 13 percent to 540,000 vehicles.

Domestic sales rose partly on the back of Japan's improving economy and partly because of a rush to make big purchases before an April increase in the country's consumption tax.

U.S. success

U.S. sales of Toyota, Lexus and Scion models rose 7.4 percent to 2.24 million in 2013, second only to the record set in 2007 in its largest market. The Camry sedan fended off competition from the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima and Ford Fusion sedan to remain the top-selling U.S. car for a 12th consecutive year.

This year, Toyota's U.S. sales will probably increase by 100,000 units, helped by new or updated models including the Corolla, RAV4 and Tundra, Jim Lentz, head of Toyota's U.S. operations, said Jan. 12.

In North America, Toyota reaped 112.5 billion yen in operating profit last quarter, versus a loss a year earlier.

China record sales

In China, Toyota had a record year in 2013, boosting deliveries 9.2 percent to 917,500 units after it recovered from the consumer backlash triggered a year earlier by a territorial dispute between Asia's two largest economies.

Toyota is expecting sales to exceed 1.1 million units in the country this year, counting on the new Vios and Yaris sedans that are tailored for Chinese consumers to drive demand.

'Lucrative' Europe

Operating profit in Europe rose to 17.7 billion yen, from 9.25 billion yen a year earlier, amid mounting signs that the region is recovering economically.

Toyota sold about 824,000 units of vehicles in Europe in 2013, up 8 percent from a year earlier. Shipments to Europe have become more profitable after the yen fell 26 percent against the euro last year.

"At this exchange rate, Europe constitutes the most lucrative of the main Japanese export markets," Masataka Kunugimoto, an auto analyst at Nomura Holdings, wrote in a report Jan. 7. Kunugimoto expects the European auto market to edge up 0.2 percent in 2014 after having fallen for six straight years.

unfortunately, due to the design, the cold air that is "generated" from the rearmost part of the car, has to cool everything else in its way, before we can enjoy the cool air coming out of the vent. and this includes the second hottest part of the car, the roof. it's a long route that passes just under that hot roof.. but hey! in heavy rain at night, that rear vent is just as cold as the driver's vent.
that is why the old revo's rear aircon is much colder.. it just sucks in the already cold air in the cabin, and cools it further..

mukhang sakto ito paps, currently naka 18s ako. 18x8 offset +40 wrapped with 225/45/18.

minsan kasi depende sa design ng mags, kahit nasa tamang range ng offset at wheel width sasabit pa din. the best pa din na itest fit.

ang titignan mo yung rear suspension, sa may kabitan ng rear shocks sa baba. tignan mo kung mag rub yung tires o yung wheel mismo.

kung sasabit man at trip na trip mo yung mags, pwede na 1/8 wheel spacer.

According to my suking AC shop Ceejay. Iba talaga ang lamig ng harap sa likod because the evaporator is bigger at the front compared sa rear considering na mas malaki yung cabin sa likod na palalamigin. Ito din yung akala ko ng una hilaw ang lamig.

Mas malamig talaga yung rear AC ng revo sir. So lahat ng innova mahina AC sa likod?

diesel MT po pala unit ko. wala po syang thermo control sa likod.

Hilaw po kasi talaga ang lamig nya sa aking panuntunan. Kapag tirik ang araw at puno sa likod ay lalo pong ramdam ang hina nya.

Did you mean, after it was parked from direct sunlight, bro?

It should take a while before the rear evaporators would blow out cool air,- as the vents have been "exposed" to the heat from the roof..... They should recover in time,- but if not,- then you need to have it checked,- maybe it needs cleaning....

Hello mga ka innova. Tanong lang po. Mag 20K PMS na kasi yung 2012 Innova Diesel ko. Sabi ng casa kailangan na daw linisin yung aircon. Yung tinanong ko yung price, 14K daw yung cost kasi may papalitan na parts. May nagapalinis na po ba sa inyo ng A/C and ganun talaga yung cost?

Keeps the lid closed? baka misaligned lang yung catcher kaya di na magsara or the cable's pin is broken?

Riveted yung gas lid, check mo kung may play na that maybe the reason of misaligned catcher, or baka natupi lang yung catcher (yero lang ito).

It is not a requirement to PMS your AC, if ain't broken don't fix!

Per my experience, regular front cabin filter cleaning and whole cabin vacuum cleaning was the key to prolong your AC coils. My AirCon lasted for more than 5 years without PMS, it was serviced and cleaned outside casa for P8K + this cost includes front and rear aircon assembly cleaning + new Toyota OEM rear coil replacement + new cabin filter.

this happened to me as well. open the jack compartment, you should be able to access the door latch, check if it was just misaligned or something is broken. please take note that when you put the toolbag in its compartment, sometimes it touches the cable of the door latch, thus causing the misalignment of the latch.

Kaso baka mawala warranty pag pinacheck sa labas sir.

Thank sir sa reply. Ang mahal din kasi sa CASA. Malamig pa naman po yung A/C. Check ko din yung manual and usually nililinis yung A/C sa 25K PMS. Di ko lang sure bakit advise ako ng CASA need na service ng A/C. Paano po linisin yung Cabin filter? Ayoko din kasi muna pa service sa labas since nasa warranty pa yung unit ko.
