Chevrolet and General Motors are serious in their plan to overtake leading position on the market from Toyota’s full size pickup Tacoma. With a lot of improvements, such are lighter engines and construction, also direct injection, they get a lot better fuel economy. GM has a plan of a diesel version of the Chevrolet Colorado hitting 30 MPG. If 2015 Toyota Tacoma wants to keep up, they should consider this treat seriously. Current model of Toyota Tacoma EPA mile per gallon is 25. Can we estimate MPG average for 2015 model? We can only guess according to some facts, but we can’t know exact numbers until the unveil of 2015 Toyota Tacoma.

Lets start with engines. Ford’s Eco Boost engine with turbochargers has many fuel saving features. Also, GM has EcoTech3 engines which are made of aluminium. Direct fuel injection and continuously variable valve timing gives better fuel saving and with seamless cylinder deactivation it could shred consumption. We could estimate that all new engine upgrades could save up to 2.5 MPG on fuel economy.

Now we’re moving to transmission. Full size truck transmission changes are own of the hot topics between companies that produces these vehicles. Improving entire powertrain is the largest part of the fuel economy saving. Gearbox should be improved to 8-speed transmission on the way of fuel saves. Toyota is doing great in this area. With improved transmission, we can estimate that 2015 Toyota Tacoma could save up to 2 MPG more.

The 2015 Volkswagen Amarok Canyon
The Volkswagen Amarok diesel-powered compact pickup truck may not be available in the U.S., but with the introduction of the2013 Amarok Canyon special edition, all of a sudden we wish it were. Looking great all decked out in its exclusive Copper Orange paintwork, the Amarok Canyon received such a positive reception at the Geneva Motor Show that VW decided to build it.
The Canyon model differentiates itself with an available light bar with quad all-weather spotlights, blacked out taillamps, a contrasting black rear bumper and body-color underbody guards, plus contrasting color bed rails that can be substituted with a hard tonneau cover. 17-inch Roca wheels wrapped in 245/70R17 all-terrain tires come standard, while buyers can opt for 18-inch rollers with all-season rubber. The pair of 2.0-liter TDI engines, making 122 and 163 horsepower along with mounds of torque, are joined by either part-time or always-on 4MOTION 4WD systems and a locking rear differential

Daihatsu Copen

The new Daihatsu Copen coming out in late 2015. I say it isdefinetly a chicks car, and i would hope all would agree but here are some basic facts about the copen

The Copen was originally designed with a 660 cc turbocharged engine in order to meet Japanesekei car regulations. However, it no longer meets environmental emissions standards in several other countries, and so in these markets the Copen is fitted with a more powerful 1.3 L engine.

At the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, Daihatsu revealed two new trim levels of the Copen, the 1.3l and the 'ZZ'.

On January 13, 2011, Daihatsu announced that it would withdraw the Copen from the European market effective from 31 January 2013 due to the ongoing strength of the Japanese Yen. Then on April 2, 2012, Daihatsu announced that Copen production would cease in August 2012 with the final 500 cars being limited 10th Anniversary editions.^[1] However, less than one year later, Daihatsu announced the Copen would be returning to production, with speculation that this would be a new model based on the D-R concept car.

The Copen has been featured on the UK show Top Gearwhere James May attempted to find the best convertible car. The contestants were the Mercedes-Benz CLK, Audi A4, Citroën C3 Pluriel, Volkswagen New Beetle, and the Copen. James loved the Copen, but he had one small problem: it felt "toy-ish".
