According to the Nikkei Japanese newspaper, Toyota is working on a compact-car that will be solely powered by solar energy. The newspaper said that it will be years before the vehicle ever makes it to the markets but Toyota is quickly looking for ways to differentiate itself in the "green car" market.
 
Nikkei said that the Japanese automaker is currently working on an electric-car that gets some of its power from solar cells and will later develop a model that will be totally powered by solar cells mounted onto the roof of the vehicle.
 
While Toyota forecasted its first operating loss in 70 years last month, it is still the leader in green technology and Toyota executives have emphasized that they will not cut back on environmental research despite the company's financial troubles.
 
Toyota is expected to gain knowledge of solar energy in vehicle use from its partner, Panasonic Corp., which currently produces batteries for its hybrid cars.

Less than a year after the introduction of the all-new 2009 Nissan 370Z Coupe - a vehicle that reset the bar for affordable sports car design and performance - comes its dramatic new stablemate, the 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster. The seductively styled Z® Roadster offers everything the hardtop Z® Coupe does - and more. As in more classic open-air sports car driving excitement. More sun, moon and stars. And more refinement than any Z® convertible that has ever come before - including a standard automatic latching power top and Nissan Intelligent Key(tm). Also offered are an array of technology and convenience features, including the first-ever Z® Roadster-available heating and cooling ventilated net seats, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, satellite radio and advanced Nissan Navigation System. The 2010 370Z Roadster is scheduled to go on sale at Nissan retailers nationwide in late summer.

Deceptive deposit-taking practices at B.C. car dealers have prompted regulators to issue a new directive explaining dealers' obligations.
 
"A quarter of the consumer complaints we investigate deal with deposit issues," Motor Vehicle Sales Authority of B.C. deputy registrar Ian Christman said in an interview. "Most dealers want to do the right thing, but some try to avoid [provincial regulations] and that's what we're concerned about."
 
Christman said his office has investigated 262 complaints in the past year because of confusion surrounding deposits taken for motor-vehicle purchases.

August 12th, 2008 marks a milestone in Regency Nissan's 25 year history! The Nissan GT-R, supercar with pedigree that date back to 1969, finally arrives in our showroom.
 
The original Nissan GT-R was developed as a high performance model of the Skyline in Japan. This all-wheel drive turbocharged sedan broke records that astounded high performance manufacturers. The first four owners of RegencyAuto's allocated GT-Rs have waited a long time for this show stopping vehicle and now are discovering the continent. We at Regency thank them for their patience and support and look forward to hearing their stories.
 
Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson commented...
"Does the Nissan's ability reduce the driving pleasure? Not at all. You can turn all the systems off if you so choose, and it's still supremely well balanced, no doubt a delight for a racing driver on a track."
 
(Jeremy Clarkson has driven the most exotic and best cars in the world: Bugatti Veyron, Koenigsegg CCX, Ultima GT-R, Ferrari Enzo, Lamborghini Murcialago LP640, Porsche Carerra GT, Porsche GT-3 RS, Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, etc...)
 
Regency Auto Group's president states that Regency Nissan will not be a part of a program that charges over MSRP for this rare gem.
