Like all great spinoffs, the Toyota Supra has created its own story over the last 45 years. Once a variant of the Celica, and then a hero car in one of a movie that would launch a multi-billion-dollar franchise, the Toyota Supra name carries a lot of gravitas. That's ignoring its racing pedigree in Super GT, on drag strips, and more. Honoring the Supra's 45th birthday, the folks at Toyota churned out 900 limited-edition examples of the 3.0-liter-powered Supra. Not officially linked to the Fast and Furious film franchise, the company does hint that it's inspired by a custom MkIV Toyota Supra that appeared on the big screen. Still fundamentally the same as the rest of the six-cylinder Supras, this special edition comes in an orange or white finish, sports special graphics, and has a wing.  On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the '24 Toyota Supra 45th Anniversary Edition and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the '24 Supra and highlights some of its features, nods to the Fast and Furious car, and more. Wren also takes you along on a live drive review of this stick-shifted Supra. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Autoweek's Patrick Carone about the Toyota Supra, The Fast and the Furious, famous movie cars, and more. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes this Supra special.

Poligonero, hortera, macarra, coche de pastilleros, quiero y no puedo, el Celica de los pobres, julay… solo por decir unos pocos adjetivos y expresiones despectivas usadas para referirse a este coche. Sobre todo, a la primera generación… en la que participaron nada menos que Pininfarina y Porsche. Me encantan los coches incomprendidos y el primero en la lista, ¡incluso por delante de mi querido Multipla! sería éste… y os anticipo algo: Era un buen coche. Os anticipo que me voy a centrar en el que es más “patito feo” de todos, las generaciones, que para mí son la misma, que van desde 1996 a 2001. La siguiente generación, por varios motivos que analizaremos, es otra cosa. Os adelanto que Hyundai fue fundada en 1947 por Chubg Ju-yung tras la finalización del conflicto coreano apoyado por el gobierno coreano y también por los USA, en concreto de su ejército. Era una empresa dedicada al acero, a la construcción publica, maquinaria pesada, aparatos eléctricos y, como no automóviles. Hyundai casi desde el principio apostó por los Coupés. Cuando la marca llega a España en 1992 su gama, junto a los Lantra, Pony y Sonata, ya incluía un Coupé, el S-Coupé al que gran parte de la prensa y aficionados llamaron “Hyundai escupe”. Llega el Hyundai “Tiburón” el nombre del Hyundai Coupé fuera de Europa. Este modelo se puede decir que es descendiente directo del prototipo triplaza HCD-II que pudo verse en el Detroit Motor Show a comienzos de 1993, un coche que, si lo ves, indudablemente te recuerda el primer Coupé. He visto en muchas páginas Web y canales de YouTube que el Hyundai Coupé es un diseño de Pininfarina. Discrepó. Según mis fuentes la primera generación, derivada del citado prototipo HCD-II fue obra del propio centro de estilo de Hyundai. Pero de lo que no hay duda es que Porsche sí intervino en el diseño y puesta a punto del bastidor, derivado del Elantra y, por supuesto, de tracción delantera. La batalla se recortaba 80 mm para dejarla en 2.470 mm y Porsche se encargó, con éxito, de la puesta a punto de este bastidor… ya comentaremos cómo iba. “Cuesta lo que un Tigra…y ofrece lo que un Calibra”. Esta frase la leí en una prueba de la época. Porque toca hablar de cómo iba este coche cuando te ponías al volante. Como os he comentado fui de los primeros periodistas españoles y casi diría que europeos en probar este modelo en su presentación. Y debo ser sincero, todos, unos más y otros menos, y me incluyo, veíamos a Hyundai como esos coches coreanos, baratos y en cierta medida insulsos. El Coupé parecía que era otro Hyundai más en este sentido, solo que con una cara bonita. Y eso que en la presentación previa a la prueba de los coches los responsables de comunicación se esforzaron y mucho en contarnos que no, que este Hyundai era “otra cosa”; que se lo habían “currado” mucho… como buen periodista fui escéptico…. Hasta que probé el coche. Porque el coche iba muy, pero que muy bien. A mí me gustaba y me gusta, pero eso es opinable. El interior no era especialmente espacioso, pero yo con mi 1,87 m de altura iba bien. Los motores eran buenos, muy buenos, con bajos, con altos, subían bien y rápido de vueltas e incluso el sonido era agradable. Y el cambio, tanto por accionamiento cómo por desarrollos estaba muy bien pensado. Y me dejó para el final lo mejor era el comportamiento: El Coupé era muy ágil, cambiaba rápido de dirección, tenía un excelente paso por curva, era progresivo y con muy buena motricidad… de lo mejor del mercado sin duda. La mano de Porsche se dejaba notar y como comenté al responsable de prensa que “off the record” me había dicho que “el trabajo de Porsche nos ha costado una leña” …. Yo le respondí: “Ha sido una buena inversión”. ¿Y lo peor? Me hace gracia decir que lo peor era el peso, cuando 1.250 kg en un coche de más de 4,3 metros hoy es ligerísimo… pero no en 1996. Tampoco era muy pesado. Lo que realmente estaba por detrás eran los frenos. Y es que los motores tan buenos, los desarrollos tan acertados y un bastidor tan eficaz, ponían en apuro a los frenos, porque llegabas a las curvas muy deprisa. Más que por potencia, la crítica era por resistencia… De nuevo algunos diréis que no conocéis el “Tuscani”, pero lo que no conocéis es el nombre, porque es el Hyundai Coupé aparecido en España en 2002 que muchos llaman tercera generación y que para mí es la segunda. Os decía al comenzar que este modelo no ha sido tan “maltratado” como el anterior. Y es así, por varios motivos. Su diseño era quizás menos diferente, pero también menos atrevido y más parecido a otros coupés rivales. Por otro lado, se situaba claramente por encima de su antecesor por precio y equipamiento e incluso había una versión V6 de 2,7 litros, todo de aluminio y con 167 CV muy aprovechables. Para mi muy importante fue la convocatoria de la Copa Hyundai Coupé. Soy de la opinión que la competición mejora mucho la imagen de un modelo y ver a los Coupés tan bajitos, tan rápidos y tan bonitos… creo que mejoró exponencialmente la imagen del coche. Desde luego, nos guste o no, la competición “legal” y oficial mejor la imagen de un coche mientras que el tuning u otro tipo de preparación, la estropea. Fruto de lo que digo es que este Coupé, incluso en este momento, no goza de precios tan interesantes como su antecesor. Siempre he dicho que no soy un apasionado del tuning, aunque me gusta, pero también siempre he defendido que los tuneros saben mucho de coches y eligen modelos con una relación calidad/precio/interés, muy buenos… como es el caso del Hyundai Coupé de la primera generación, hasta 2002. De carreras. Por cierto, no tuve la fortuna de correr la Copa Hyundai con el Coupé, sí lo hice en la antecesora, que se disputaba con el Accent. Pero luego si participé con uno de estos coches, que eran con motor V6 evidentemente, en muchas carreras, incluidas un par de ediciones en las 24 horas de Montmeló, con magníficos resultados… Conclusión. ¡Benditos patitos feos! ¡Benditos coches incomprendidos! Olvídate de la mala imagen que puedan tener el Hyundai Coupé, todas las generaciones y sobre todo las primeras. Son excelentes coches, muy agradables, bien hechos y, además, que puedes encontrar a muy buen precio. Eso sí: Encontrar uno bien cuidado y de serie… es tarea complicada… pero vale la pena.

Rumor has it: Toyota MR2 and CELICA are coming back. So what's that mean exactly? It means that IF the rumors are true, then Toyota is the most enthusiast-based & spirited car-maker... by a landslide. Rumors are, both the MR2 and the Celica will get 2-liter turbocharged engines - no hybrid, no electrification. And manual transmissions WILL be available. Both cars will allegedly be all-wheel-drive. The MR2 will be mid-engine, and the Celica will be front-engine. From their 4x4s to the sports cars, the ENTHUSIAST ENERGY that Toyota has is unmatched. And in a disconnected modern world of generic 'mobility', Toyota is making cars you actually want to drive!! •Get the free S3 Magazine app•

Die aktuellen Automobilkurznachrichten mit Michael Weyland  Thema heute:  Sport-Spirit erleben: Die Toyota Collection feiert Gazoo Racing Modelle und 86 Meet     Foto: Harald Dawo/ Toyota Deutschland GmbH Diese Sportschau verspricht Adrenalinschübe: Am Samstag, 4. Mai, präsentiert die Toyota Collection von 10 bis 14 Uhr das große Startfeld schneller Toyota GR Modelle mit der DNA von Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR), verantwortlich für die weltweiten Rennaktivitäten von Toyota. Damit nicht genug: Die Automobilsammlung auf dem Gelände von Toyota Deutschland (Toyota-Allee 2, 50858 Köln) begrüßt bei diesem Public Opening auch die Toyota „86 DACH“-Community, also Vertreter aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz, die mit rund 150 Sportcoupés anreisen will. Das 86 Meet vor der Ausstellungshalle der Toyota Collection wird die große Bandbreite aufregender Athleten präsentieren, die den Modellcode 86 tragen. Alle „Hachi-Roku“ (japanisch für acht-sechs) sind dabei: Aus den 1980ern Corolla Levin, Sprinter Trueno (AE86) und Corolla Coupé GT (AE86), dazu das 2011 lancierte Sportcoupé Toyota GT 86 sowie der Toyota GR86 als jüngster Sportler. Der Eintritt zum Public Opening ist wie üblich frei. Seit über 65 Jahren definiert Toyota die Grenzen der Technik im Motorsport erfolgreich neu, um so immer perfektere Autos für die Straße zu bauen. Dafür stehen Hochleistungssportler vom ersten japanischen Supersportwagen Toyota 2000GT aus dem Jahr 1967 bis zu den aktuellen Toyota GR Modellen mit den Genen des siebenfachen Rallye-Weltmeisters (WRC) und der siegreichen Rundstrecken-Rennwagen von Toyota Gazoo Racing. Genau diese enge Verwandtschaft zwischen Racer und Straßensportwagen können die Gäste des GR Days in der Toyota Collection entdecken. Zu den Highlights dieses Public Openings der Toyota Collection zählt außerdem die Ahnengalerie der Gewinnertypen: Neben dem klassischen Toyota 2000GT sind Celica und Supra Sportcoupés vieler Generationen dabei, … dazu das Supercar Lexus LFA und die Juwelen der Hachi-Roku-Historie. Wie sehr die Public Openings der Toyota Collection Fans und Familien begeistern, zeigte sich Anfang April, als der Offroad Day rund 1.600 Besucher anlockte. Die Chance zur Sitzprobe im neuen Toyota Land Cruiser, dessen Marktstart voraussichtlich im Mai 2024 erfolgt, ließ sich fast niemand entgehen, aber auch die von der Community mitgebrachten über 300 Toyota Geländewagen vieler Typen und Baujahre faszinierten.

Dr. Deming developed his philosophy over time and in conversations with others, not in isolation. As learners, we tend to forget that context, but it's important to remember because no one implements Deming in isolation, either. In this conversation, Bill Bellows and host Andrew Stotz discuss how there's no such thing as a purely Deming organization and why that's good. TRANSCRIPT 0:00:02.2 Andrew Stotz: My name is Andrew Stotz, and I'll be your host as we continue our journey into the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Today, I'm continuing my discussions with Bill Bellows, who has spent 30 years helping people apply Dr. Deming's ideas to become aware of how their thinking is holding them back from their biggest opportunities. Today is episode 20, entitled, System of Profound Wisdom. Bill, take it Away.   0:00:31.6 Bill Bellows: But not just for 30 years. I forgot to say I started when I was 12.   0:00:36.6 AS: Yes. [laughter] Yes. And you've got the hair to prove it.   [laughter]   0:00:43.7 BB: All right. Now, actually, I was thinking the proposal and the title, I thought... I mean, System of Profound Wisdom is cool, System of Profound Questions. Either one of those is good. Let's see which title comes out.   0:00:57.6 AS: Yeah. And I think we'll have to also understand that may some listeners that may not even know what System of Profound Knowledge means, they've been listening. They do. But if today's their first episode, we also gotta break that down, just briefly.   0:01:10.9 BB: Yeah. Okay, let's do that. All right. Well, let me give an opening a quote from Dr. Deming from chapter three, and then we can explain this SoPK, System of Profound Knowledge, thing. But in chapter three of Dr. Deming's last book, The New Economics, the last edition, edition three, came out in 2018. And chapter three, Dr. Deming says, "We saw in the last chapter, we are living under the tyranny of the prevailing style of management. Most people imagine that this style has always existed. It is a fixture. Actually, it is a modern invention a trap that has led us into decline. Transformation is required. Education and government, along with industry, are also in need of transformation. The System of Profound Knowledge to be introduced in the next chapter is a theory for transformation." So you wanna...   0:02:15.4 AS: That's good.   0:02:16.7 BB: So let's say something. Let's just say something about SoPK. How would you explain that?   0:02:23.1 AS: Yeah. Well, actually, I wanna talk very briefly about what you just said, because it's just...   0:02:27.1 BB: Oh, sure.   0:02:29.6 AS: At one point, I thought, "It's a system of knowledge." But he just said it was a system of transformation.   0:02:38.7 BB: It's a theory for transformation.   0:02:40.1 AS: A theory for transformation. Okay, got it. I see. And one of the things that I... I look at Toyota so much just 'cause it's so fascinating and how they've survived all these years, the continuity in the business, the continuity and the profitability of the business, the continued march to become the number one auto producer in the world, and having faced all the ups and downs and survived. And I just think that what they have is a learning organization. No matter what the challenge is, they're trying to apply learning tools, like System of Profound Knowledge, like PDSA, to try to figure out how to solve this problem. And I think that many companies, including at times my companies, [chuckle] we sometimes will scramble and we'll lose knowledge and we won't gain knowledge. And so the System of Profound Knowledge, to me, is all about the idea of how do we build a base of knowledge in our business and then build upon that base of knowledge rather than destroy it when the new management comes in or when a new management idea comes in.   0:04:00.7 AS: And that's something I've just been thinking about a lot. Because I do know a company that I've been doing some work with, and they basically threw away a huge amount of work that they did on System of Profound Knowledge and stuff to go with the prevailing system of management, is like going back. And now, they just produced a loss in the first quarter, and I just think, "Interesting. Interesting."   0:04:27.6 BB: Well, a couple things come to mind based on what you said. One is I would propose that Toyota, I'm in agreement of "Toyota's a learning organization." And that'll come up later. I've got some other thoughts on learning organizations. And we know that they were influenced by Dr. Deming. To what degree, I'm not sure of. Shoichiro Toyoda, who is one of the sons of the founder of the Toyota Motor Car Company, was honored with a Deming prize in 1990. And I believe it came from JUSE, as opposed to the American Society for Quality. One or the other. He was honored with a Deming Prize.   0:05:32.0 AS: Yep.   0:05:33.5 BB: Again, I don't know if it's Deming Prize or Deming Medal. But I know he was honored. What's most important, the point I wanna make is, upon receiving it he said, "There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about the impact of Dr. Deming on Toyota." But, if I was to look at the Toyota Production System website, Toyota's Toyota Production System website, which I've done numerous times, I'd be hard-pressed to find anything on that page that I could say, "You see this word, Andrew? You see this sentence, Andrew? You see this sentiment? That's Deming." Not at all. Not at all. It's Taiichi Ohno. It's Shigeo Shingo. I'm not saying it's not good, but all those ideas predate Deming going to Japan in 1950. Taiichi Ohno joined Toyota right out of college as an industrial engineer in 1933, I believe. The Japanese Army, I mentioned in a previous episode, in 1942, wanted him to move from Toyota's loom works for making cloth to their automobile works for making Jeeps. This comes from a book that I would highly recommend. Last time we were talking about books. I wanted to read a book, I don't know, maybe 10 years ago. I wanted to read a book about Toyota, but not one written by someone at MIT or university. I didn't wanna read a book written by an academic. I've done that.   0:07:15.1 BB: I wanted to read a book by somebody inside Toyota, get that perspective, that viewpoint. And the book, Against All Odds, the... Wait I'll get the complete title. Against All Odds: The Story of the Toyota Motor Corporation and the Family That Changed it. The first author, Yukiyasu Togo, T-O-G-O, and William Wartman. I have a friend who worked there. Worked... Let me back up. [chuckle] Togo, Mr. Togo, born and raised in Japan, worked for Toyota in Japan, came to the States in the '60s and opened the doors to Toyota Motors, USA. So, he was the first person running that operation in Los Angeles. And it was here for years. I think it's now in Texas. My late friend, Bill Cummings, worked there in marketing. And my friend, Bill, was part of the team that was working on a proposal for a Lexus. And he has amazing stories of Togo. He said, "Any executive... " And I don't know how high that... What range, from factory manager, VPs. But he said the executives there had their use, free use, they had a company car. And he said Togo drove a Celica. Not a Celica. He drove a... What's their base model? Not a...   0:08:56.2 AS: A Corolla?   0:08:57.7 BB: Corolla. Yes, yes, yes. Thank you. He drove a Corolla. He didn't drive... And I said, "Why did he drive a Corolla?" Because it was their biggest selling car, and he wanted to know what most people were experiencing. He could have been driving the highest level cars they had at the time. Again, this is before a Lexus. And so in this book, it talks about the history of Toyota, Taiichi Ohno coming in, Shigeo Shingo's contributions, and the influence of Dr. Deming. And there's a really fascinating account how in 1950, a young manager, Shoichiro Toyoda, was confronted with a challenge that they couldn't repair the cars as fast as they could sell them. This is post-war Japan. They found a car with phenomenal market success. Prior to that, they were trying to sell taxicabs, 'cause people could not... I mean, buying a car as a family was not an option. But by 1950, it was beginning to be the case. And the challenge that Shoichiro Toyoda faced was improving the quality, 'cause they couldn't fix them as fast as they could sell them. And yet, so I have no doubt that that young manager, who would go on to become the chairman, whatever the titles are, no doubt he was influenced by Dr. Deming. But I don't know what that means.   0:10:23.4 BB: That does not... The Toyota Production System is not Deming. And that's as evidenced by this talk about eliminating waste. And those are not Deming concepts. But I believe, back to your point, that his work helped create a foundation for learning. But I would also propose, Andrew, that everything I've read and studied quite a bit about the Toyota Production System, Lean, The Machine That Changed The World, nothing in there explains reliability. To me, reliability is how parts come together, work together. 'Cause as we've talked, a bunch of parts that meet print and meet print all over the place could have different levels of reliability, because meeting requirements, as we've talked in earlier episodes, ain't all it's cracked up to be. So I firmly believe... And I also mentioned to you, I sat for 14 hours flying home from Japan with a young engineer who worked for Toyota, and they do manage variation as Dr. Taguchi proposed. That is not revealed. But there's definitely something going on. But I would also say that I think the trouble they ran into was trying to be the number one car maker, and now they're back to the model of, "If we are good at what we do, then that will follow."   0:11:56.8 BB: And I'm gonna talk later about Tom Johnson's book, just to reinforce that, 'cause Tom, a former professor of management at Portland State University, has visited Toyota plants numerous times back before people found out how popular it was. But what I want to get into is... What we've been talking about the last couple episodes is Dr. Deming uses this term, transformation. And as I shared an article last time by John Kotter, the classic leadership professor, former, he's retired, at the University... Oh, sorry, Harvard Business School. And what he's talking about for transformation is, I don't think, [chuckle] maybe a little bit of crossover with what Dr. Deming is talking about. What we talked about last time is, Deming's transformation is a personal thing that we hear the world differently, see the world differently. We ask different questions. And that's not what Kotter is talking about. And it's not to dismiss all that what Kotter is talking about, but just because we're talking about transformation doesn't mean we mean the same thing.   0:13:10.6 BB: And likewise, we can talk about a Deming organization and a non-Deming organization. What teamwork means in both is different. In a Deming organization, we understand performance is caused by the system, not the workers taken individually. And as a result of that, we're not going to see performance appraisals, which are measures of individuals. Whereas in a non-Deming organization, we're going to see performance appraisals, KPIs flow down to individuals. [chuckle] The other thing I had in my notes is, are there really two types of organizations? No, that's just a model. [chuckle] So, really, it's a continuum of organizations. And going back to George Box, all models are wrong, some are useful. But we talked earlier, you mentioned the learning organization. Well, I'm sure, Andrew, that we have both worked in non-Deming organizations, and we have seen, and we have seen people as learners in a non-Deming organization, but what are they learning? [chuckle] It could be learning to tell the boss what they want to hear. They could be learning to hide information that could cause pain. [chuckle] Those organizations are filled with learners, but it's about learning that makes things worse. It's like digging the pit deeper. What Deming is talking about is learning that improves how the organization operates, and as a result, improves profit. In a non-Deming organization, that learning is actually destroying profit.   0:14:51.8 BB: All right. And early, spoke... Russ, Russ and Dr. Deming spoke for about three hours in 1992. It got condensed down to a volume 21 of The Deming Library, for which our viewers, if you're a subscriber to DemingNEXT, you can watch it in its entirety. All the Deming videos produced by Clare Crawford-Mason are in that. You can see excerpts of volume 21, which is... Believe is theory of a system of education, and it's Russ Ackoff and Dr. Deming for a half hour. So you can find excerpts of that on The Deming Institute's YouTube channel.   0:15:37.0 BB: And what I wanted to bring up is in there, Russ explains to Dr. Deming the DIKUW model that we've spoken about in previous episodes, where D is data. That's raw numbers, Russ would say. I is information. When we turn those raw numbers into distances and times and weights, Russ would say that information is what the newspaper writer writes, who did what to whom. Knowledge, the K, could be someone's explanation as to how these things happened. U, understanding. Understanding is when you step back and look at the container. Russ would say that knowledge, knowledge is what you're using in developing to take apart a car or to take apart a washing machine and see how all these things work together. But understanding is needed to explain why the driver sits on the left versus the right, why the car is designed for a family of four, why the washing machine is designed for a factor of four. That's not inside it. That's the understanding looking outward piece that Russ would also refer to as synthesis. And then the W, that's the wisdom piece. What do I do with all this stuff? And what Russ is talking about is part of wisdom is doing the right things right. So, I wanted to touch upon in this episode is why did Dr. Deming refer to his system as the System of Profound Knowledge? Why not the System of Profound Understanding? Why not the System of Profound Wisdom? And I think, had he lived longer, maybe he would have expanded. Maybe he would have had...   0:17:28.4 BB: And I think that's the case. I think it's... 'Cause I just think... And this is what's so interesting, is, if you look at Dr. Deming's work in isolation and not go off and look at other's work, such as Tom Johnson or Russ, you can start asking questions like this.   0:17:45.7 AS: One thing I was going to interject is that I took my first Deming seminar in 1989, I believe, or 1990. And then I took my second one with Dr. Deming in 1992. And then soon after that, I moved to Thailand and kind of went into a different life, teaching finance and then working in the stock market. And then we set up our factory here for coffee business. But it wasn't until another 10 years, maybe 15 years, that I reignited my flame for what Dr. Deming was doing. And that's when I wrote my book about Transform Your Business with Dr. Deming's 14 Points. And what I, so, I was revisiting the material that had impacted me so much. And I found this new topic called System of Profound Knowledge. I never heard of that. And I realized that, it really fully fledged came out in 1993, The New Economics, which I didn't get. I only had Out of the Crisis.   0:18:49.9 BB: '93.   0:18:49.9 AS: Yeah. And so that just was fascinating to go back to what was already, the oldest teacher I ever had in my life at '92, leave it, come back 10, 15 years later and find out, wait a minute, he added on even more in his final book.   0:19:10.4 BB: Well, Joyce Orsini, who was recruited by Fordham University at the encouragement of Dr. Deming, or the suggestion of Dr. Deming to lead their Deming Scholars MBA program in 1990. Professor Marta Mooney, professor of accounting, who I had the great fortune of meeting several times, was very inspired by Dr. Deming's work. And was able to get his permission to have an MBA program in his name called the Deming Scholars MBA program. And when she asked him for a recommendation, "Who should lead this program?" It was Joyce Orsini, who at the time I think was a vice president at a bank in New York. I'm not sure, possibly in human resources, but I know she was in New York as a vice president.   0:20:10.0 BB: And I believe she had finished her PhD under Dr. Deming at NYU by that time. And the reason I bring up Joyce's name, I met her after Dr. Deming had died. Nancy Mann, who is running a company called Quality Enhancement Seminars with, a, at the beginning one product, Dr. Deming's 4-Day seminar, when Dr. Deming died, and I had mentioned, I was at his last seminar in December '93, she continued offering 4-day seminars. And I met her later that year when she was paired with Ron Moen and they were together presenting it, and others were paired presenting it. And at one point, as I got to know Joyce, she said, "His last five years were borrowed time." I said, "What do you mean?" She said, "He started working on the book in 19'" evidently the '87, '88 timeframe, he started to articulate these words, Profound Knowledge.   0:21:11.0 BB: And I know he had, on a regular basis, he had dinner engagements with friends including Claire Crawford-Mason and her husband. And Claire has some amazing stories of Deming coming by with these ideas. And she said, once she said, "What is this?" And he is, she took out a napkin, a discretely, wrote down the, "an understanding of the difference between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. Difference between understanding special causes versus common causes." And she just wrote all this stuff down, typed it up. When he showed up the next week, she greeted him at the door and said, and she said, he said, This is Claire. And Claire said, he said, "What's that?" He says, "Well, I took notes last week."   0:21:54.2 BB: And he says, "I can do better." [chuckle] And so week by week by week. And as he interacted with the people around him, he whittled it down. And I'm guessing it put it into some, there's a technique for grouping things, you, where on post-it notes and you come up with four categories and these things all go over here. There's one of the elements of that, one of the 16 had to, or 18 or so, had to do with Dr. Taguchi's loss function. So that could have gone into the, maybe the variation piece, maybe the systems piece. But Joyce said, basically he was frustrated that the 14 Points were essentially kind of a cookbook where you saw things like, "cease dependence on inspection" interpreted as "get rid of the inspectors." And so he knew and I'd say, guided by his own production of a system mindset, he knew that what he was articulating and the feedback were inconsistent.   0:23:01.9 BB: And I've gotta keep trying. And she said, "His last five years on borrowed time as he was dying of cancer, was just trying to get this message out." So I first got exposed to it 19, spring of '90 when I saw him speaking in Connecticut. And I was all about Taguchi expecting him to, I didn't know what to expect, but I knew what I was seeing and hearing from Dr. Taguchi when I heard Dr. Deming talk about Red Beads. I don't know anything about that, common cause and special cause, I didn't know anything about that. And so for me, it was just a bunch of stuff, and I just tucked it away. But when the book came out in '93, then it really made sense. But I just had to see a lot of the prevailing style of management in the role I had as an improvement specialist, become, [chuckle] a firefighter or a fireman helping people out.   0:24:01.5 AS: I noticed as I've gotten older that, I do start to connect the pieces together of various disciplines and various bits of knowledge to realize, so for instance, in my case, I'm teaching a corporate strategy course right now at the university. Tonight's, in fact, the last night of this particular intake. And my area of expertise is in finance, but now I see the connection between strategy and finance, and how a good strategy is going to be reflected in superior financial performance relative to peers. And of course, I know how to measure that very well. So I can synthesize more and more different areas of things that I know things about, that I just couldn't do when I was younger. So I can see, and he was always learning, obviously. So I can see how he, and also I can also see the idea of, I need bigger principles. I need bigger as you said, theory for transformation. I need, I need to be able to put this into a framework that brings all that together. And I'm still feeling frustrated about some of that, where I'm at with some of that, because I'm kind of halfway in my progress on that. But I definitely can see the idea of that coming later in life as I approach the big 6-0.   0:25:37.3 BB: The big 6-0, [chuckle] Well, but a big part, I mean, based on what you're talking about, it ended up... Previously we spoke about Richard Rumelt's work, Good Strategy/Bad Strategy, and I mentioned that I use a lecture by Richard Rumelt, I think it was 2011 or so. It was right after his book, Good Strategy/Bad Strategy came out. He spoke at the London School of Economics, and our listeners can find it if you just did a Google search for Richard Rumelt, that's R-U-M... One M. E-L-T. Good Strategy/Bad Strategy. LSE, London School of Economics. Brilliant, brilliant lecture. And I've seen it numerous times for one of my university courses. And he is like Deming, he doesn't suffer fools. And, it finally dawned on me, Deming organizations, if we can use this simple Deming versus non-Deming or Red Pen versus Blue Pen, and as, George Box would say, all models are wrong, some are useful. If we can use that model, I think it's easy to see that what frustrates Rumelt is you've got all these non-Deming companies coming up with strategies without a method.   0:27:00.0 BB: What Rumelt also talks about is not only do you need a method, but you have to be honest on what's in the way of us achieving this? Again, Dr. Deming would say, if you didn't need a method, why don't you're already achieving the results? And so it just dawned on me thinking the reason he's so frustrated, and I think that's one word you can use to describe him, but if he is talking to senior staff lacking this, an understanding of Deming's work, then he is getting a lot of bad strategies. And organizations that would understand what Dr. Deming's talking about, would greatly benefit from Rumelt's work. And they would be one, they'd have the benefit of having an organization that is beginning or is understanding what a transformation guided by Dr. Deming's work is about. And then you could look up and you're naturally inclined to have good or better strategy than worser strategies.   0:28:02.2 BB: And then you have the benefit of, profit's not the reason, profit is the result of all that. And, but next thing I wanna point out is, and I think we talked about it last time, but I just wanted to make sure it was up here, is I've come across recently and I'm not sure talking with who, but there's this what's in vogue today? Data-driven decisions. And again, whenever I hear the word data, I think backed in Ackoff's DIKUW model, I think data-driven. Well, first Dr. Deming would say, the most important numbers are unknown and unknowable. So if you're doing things on a data-driven way, then you're missing the rest of Dr. Deming's theory of management. But why not knowledge-driven decisions, why not understanding-driven decisions And beyond that, why not, right? How long... [laughter] I guess we can... Part of the reason we're doing these Andrew is that we'd like to believe we're helping people move in the direction from data-driven decisions to wisdom-driven decisions, right?   0:29:13.1 AS: Yeah. In fact, you even had the gall to name this episode the System of Profound Wisdom.   0:29:24.0 BB: And that's the title.   0:29:24.9 AS: There it is.   0:29:28.9 BB: But in terms of, I'll give you a fun story from Rocketdyne years ago, and I was talking with a manager in the quality organization and he says, "you know what the problem is, you know what the problem is?" I said, "what?" He says, "the problem is the executives are not getting the data fast enough." And I said, "what data?" He says "the scrap and rework data, they're just not getting it fast enough." So I said, "no matter how fast they get it, it's already happened."   [laughter]   0:30:00.0 BB: But it was just, and I just couldn't get through to him that, that if we're being reactive and talking about scrap and rework, it's already happened. By the time the... If the executives hear it a second later, it's already happened. It's still old news.   0:30:14.7 AS: And if that executive would've been thinking he would've said, but Bill, I want to be on the cutting edge of history.   0:30:23.1 BB: Yeah, it's like...   0:30:24.6 AS: I don't want information, I don't want old information, really old. I just want it as new as it can be, but still old.   0:30:32.9 BB: Well, it reminds me of an Ackoff quote is, instead of... It's "Change or be changed." Ackoff talked about organizations that instead of them being ready for what happens, they create what's gonna happen, which would be more of a Deming organizational approach. Anyway, we talked about books last time and I thought it'd be neat to share a couple books as one as I've shared the Against All Odds Book about Toyota.   0:31:08.8 AS: Which I'll say is on Amazon, but it's only looks like it's a used book and it's priced at about 70 bucks. So I've just...   0:31:16.2 BB: How much?   0:31:16.8 AS: Got that one down? 70 bucks? Because I think it's, you're buying it from someone who has it as a their own edition or something. I don't know.   0:31:23.8 BB: It's not uncommon. This is a, insider used book thing. It's not uncommon that you'll see books on Amazon for 70, but if you go to ThriftBooks or Abe Books, you can, I have found multi-$100 books elsewhere. I don't know how that happens, but it does. Anyway, another book I wanted to reference in today's episode is Profit Beyond Measure subtitle, Extraordinary Results through Attention to Work and People, published in 2000. You can... I don't know if you can get that new, you definitely get it old or used, written by, H. Thomas Johnson. H is for Howard, he goes by Tom, Tom Johnson. Brilliant, brilliant mind. He visited Rocketdyne a few times.   0:32:17.1 BB: On the inside cover page, Tom wrote, "This book is dedicated to the memory of Dr. W. Edwards Deming, 1900-1993. May the seventh generation after us know a world shaped by his thinking." And in the book, you'll find this quote, and I've used it in a previous episode, but for those who may be hearing it first here and Tom's a deep thinker. He's, and as well as his wife Elaine, they're two very deep thinkers. They've both spoke at Rocketdyne numerous times. But one of my favorite quotes from Tom is, "How the world we perceive works depends on how we think. The world we perceive is the world we bring forth through our thinking." And again, it goes back to, we don't see the world as it is. We see the world as we are. We hear the world as we are. I wrote a blog for The Deming Institute. If our listeners would like to find it, if you just do a search for Deming blog, Bellows and Johnson, you'll find the blog. And the blog is about the book Profit Beyond Measure. And in there, I said, “In keeping with Myron Tribus' observation that what you see depends upon what you thought before you looked, Johnson's background as a cost accountant, guided by seminars and conversations with Dr. Deming, prepared him to see Toyota as a living system,” right? You talk about Toyota.   0:33:53.9 BB: He saw it as a living system, not a value stream of independent parts. And that was, that's me talking. I mean, Tom talked about Toyota's living system. And then I put in there with the Toyota Production System, people talk about value streams. Well, in those value streams, they have a defect, good part, bad part model that the parts are handed off, handed off, handed off. That is ostensibly a value stream of independent parts 'cause the quality model of the Toyota Production System, if you study it anywhere, is not Genichi Taguchi. It's the classic good parts and bad parts. And if we're handing off good parts, they are not interdependent. They are independent. And then I close with, "instead of seeing a focus on the elimination of waste and non-value added efforts, Johnson saw self-organization, interdependence, and diversity, the three, as the three primary principles of his approach, which he called Management By Means." And so what's neat, Andrew, is he, Tom was as a student of Deming's work, attending Dr. Deming seminars, hearing about SoPK, System of Profound Knowledge, and he in parallel developed his own model that he calls Management By Means. But what's neat is if you compare the two, there's three principles. So he says self-organization.   0:35:31.0 BB: Well, that's kind of like psychology and people. So we can self-organize interdependence, the other self-organized, but we're connected with one another. So that's, that's kind of a systems perspective there as well. And the third one, diversity. So when I think of diversity, I think of variation. I can also think in terms of people. So that what I don't see in there explicitly is Theory of Knowledge. But Tom's developing this model in parallel with Dr. Deming's work, probably beginning in the early '80s. And part of what Tom had in mind, I believe, by calling it Management By Means, is juxtaposing it with that other management by, right? You know the other one, Andrew, management by?   0:36:33.8 AS: You mean the bad one or the good one, Management By Objective?   0:36:37.8 BB: Or Management By Results. Or Dr. Deming once said, MBIR, Management by Imposition of Results. But what's neat is, and this is what I cover and with my online courses, Tom is really, it's just such insight. Tom believes that treating the means as the ends in the making. So he's saying that the ends are what happen when we focus on the means, which is like, if you focus on the process, you get the result. But no, MBIR, as we focus on the result, we throw the process out the window. And so when I've asked students in one of my classes is, why does Tom Johnson believe that treating the means as an ends in the making is a much surer route to stable and satisfactory financial performance than to continue as most companies do? You ready, Andrew? To chase targets as if the means do not matter. Does that resonate with you, Andrew?   0:37:44.1 AS: Yes. They're tampering.   0:37:46.8 BB: Yeah. I also want to quote, I met Tom in 1997. I'm not sure if this... Actually, this article is online and I'll try to remember to post a link to it. If I forget, our listeners can contact me on LinkedIn and I'll send you a link to find the paper. This is when I first got exposed to Tom. It just blew me away. I still remember there at a Deming conference in 1997, hearing Tom talk. I thought, wow, this is different. So, Tom's paper that I'm referencing is A Different Perspective on Quality, the subtitle, Bringing Management to Life. Can you imagine? “Bringing Management to Life.” And it was in Washington, DC, the 1997 conference. And then Tom says, this is the opening. And so when Tom and his wife would speak at Rocketdyne or other conferences I organized.   0:38:44.0 BB: Tom read from a lectern. So he needed a box to get up there and he read, whereas Elaine, his wife, is all extemporaneous. Both deeply profound, two different styles. So what Tom wrote here is he says, "despite the impression given by my title, Professor of Quality Management, I do not speak to you as a trained or a certified authority on the subject of quality management. I adopted that title more or less casually after giving a presentation to an audience of Oregon business executives just over six years ago. That presentation described how my thinking had changed in the last five years since I co-authored the 1987 book, Relevance Lost, the Rise and Fall of Management Accounting, and the talk which presaged my 1992 book, Relevance Regained." And this is when he... After he wrote, Relevance Lost, he went on the lecture circuit, he met the likes of Peter Scholtes and Brian Joiner, got pulled into the Deming community.   0:39:45.4 BB: And then he wrote this scathing book called Relevance Regained and the subtitle is... I think our audience will love it, From Top-Down Control to Bottom-Up Empowerment. Then he goes on to say, "in that I told how I had come to believe that management accounting, a subject that I had pursued and practiced for over 30 years." Over 30 years, sounds familiar. Then he says, "could no longer provide useful tools for management. I said in essence that instead of managing by results, instead of driving people with quantitative financial targets, it's time for people in business..." And this is 30 years ago, Andrew. "It's time for people in business to shift their attention to how they organize work and how they relate to each other as human beings. I suggested that if companies organize work and build relationships properly, then the results that accountants keep track of will what? Take care of themselves."   0:40:50.8 AS: It's so true, it's so true.   0:40:54.1 BB: Yeah, it sounds so literally Tom was writing that in 1999, 2000. Well, actually no, that was 1997, that was 1997, but the same sentiment.   0:41:03.4 AS: It just makes me think of the diagram that we see and that Deming had about the flow through a business, it's the same thing as of the flow from activity to result.   0:41:20.6 BB: Yes.   0:41:21.9 AS: And when we focus on the result and work backwards, it's a mess from a long-term perspective, but you can get to the result. It's not to say you can't get to the result, but you're not building a system that can replicate that. But when you start with the beginning of that process of how do we set this up right to get to that result, then you have a repeatable process that can deliver value. In other words, you've invested a large amount in the origination of that process that then can produce for a much longer time. Um, I have to mention that the worst part of this whole time that we talk is when I have to tell you that we're almost out of time 'cause there's so much to talk about. So we do need to wrap it up, but, yeah.   0:42:09.3 BB: All right. I got a couple of closing thoughts from Tom and then we'll pick this up in episode 21.   0:42:21.3 AS: Yep.   0:42:22.9 BB: Let me also say, for those who are really... If you really wanna know... I'd say, before you read The New Economics... I'm sorry, before you read Profit Beyond Measure, one is the article I just referenced, “Bringing Quality to Life” is a good start. I'd also encourage our readers to do a search. I do this routinely. It shouldn't be that hard to find, but look for an article written by Art Kleiner, Art as in Arthur, Kleiner, K-L-E-I-N-E-R. And the article is entitled, Measures... The Measures That Matter. I think it might be What Are The Measures That Matter? And that article brilliantly written by Kleiner who I don't think knows all that much about Deming, but he knows a whole lot about Tom Johnson and Robert Kaplan, who together co-authored "Relevance Lost" and then moved apart. And Tom became more and more Deming and Kaplan became more and more non and finally wrote this article.   0:43:35.6 AS: Is this article coming out in 2002, "What Are The Measures That Matter? A 10-year Debate Between Two Feuding Gurus Shed Some Light on a Vexing Business Question?"   0:43:46.4 BB: That's it.   0:43:47.2 AS: There it is and it's on the...   0:43:47.4 BB: And it is riveting.   0:43:50.8 AS: Okay.   0:43:50.8 BB: Absolutely riveting. Is it put out by...   0:43:54.0 AS: PwC, it looks like and it's under strategy...   0:43:58.5 BB: Pricewaterhouse...   0:43:58.8 AS: Yeah, strategy and business.   0:44:00.2 BB: PricewaterhouseCooper? Yeah.   0:44:01.3 AS: Yeah.   0:44:03.1 BB: And 'cause what's in there is Kleiner explaining that what Tom's talking about might take some time. You can go out tomorrow, Andrew, and slash and burn and cut and show instant results. Now what you're not looking at is what are the consequences? And so... But... And then... But Kleiner I think does a brilliant job of juxtaposing and trying to talk about what makes Kaplan's work, the Balanced Scorecard, so popular. Why is Tom so anti that?   0:44:37.9 BB: And to a degree, it could be for some a leap of faith to go over there, but we'll talk about that later. Let me just close with this and this comes from my blog on The Deming Institute about Profit Beyond Measure and I said, "for those who are willing and able to discern the dramatic differences between the prevailing focus of systems that aim to produce better parts with less waste and reductions to non-value-added efforts," that's my poke at Lean and Six Sigma, "and those systems that capitalize on a systemic connection between parts. Tom's book, Profit Beyond Measure, offers abundant food for thought. The difference also represents a shifting from profit as the sole reason for a business to profit as the result of extraordinary attention to working people, a most fitting subtitle to this book."   0:45:35.9 AS: Well, Bill, on behalf of everyone at The Deming Institute, I want to thank you again for the discussion and for listeners, remember to go to deming.org to continue your journey. If you wanna keep in touch with Bill, just find him on LinkedIn. This is your host, Andrew Stotz, and I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Deming, "People are entitled to Joy in work" and I hope you are enjoying your work.    

Dat Michael al een Land Cruiser heeft, betekent niet dat zijn wensenlijstje leeg is. 4x4's maken hebberig. Ook Paul heeft zo z'n offroad wensen. We doen ons best om niet in Japan te blijven hangen, en kiezen ook iets Brits en zowaar twee Italianen. Oja, deze aflevering is opgenomen vanuit Louwmans Toyota World, waar we zitten tussen de 2000GT's, Celica's, Century's, en Corolla Rally auto's.

Todos los aficionados dan por sabido que los japoneses hacen coches fiables y de mucha calidad. Cierto. Pero para mí, además, cuentan con otras dos virtudes: Son muy tecnológicos y, en ocasiones, muy originales. Quería elegir los que para mí son los 10 mejores coches japoneses de la historia… pero la maldición de GH continua y me han salido…. ¡12+1! Japón tarda en llegar el automóvil y lo hace, por comparación con Europa y América, “por la puerta de atrás” y con un cierto origen humilde. El país era, y es, muy pequeño; los japoneses no es que sean muy grandes; no tienen petróleo ni materias primas, con lo cual, desde el principio, los coches eran muy económicos de consumo y pequeños. Pero todo cambió cuando se dieron cuenta de que el futuro de su industria no estaba en el mercado local, sino en la exportación. 1. Mazda R130 Luce Rotary Coupé (1969) Empezamos fuerte: Os doy un dato, el diseño de este Mazda es obra nada menos que de Giorgetto Giugiaro, cuando apenas tenía 30 años. Si el primer Rotary es espectacular, este es precioso, equilibrado. 2. Datsun 240 Z (1971) De este modelo hicimos un vídeo monográfico titulado “Datsun Z, el deportivo japones que acabó con los ingleses”. Y es que fue rigurosamente así: Nissan, que entonces usaba también la marca Datsun, ofreció un modelo bonito, de buenas prestaciones, mejores sensaciones, a buen precio y, sobre todo, fiable, muy fiable… es punto débil de los deportivos de la Union Jack. 3. Toyota Celica (1975) Celica no es una palabra japonesa, sino que viene del latín y significa “celestial” … bonito nombre. Nació en 1970 y la denominación se mantuvo hasta 2006. He elegido el que para mí es, sin duda, el más bonito, el rediseño de 1975 sobre el modelo primigenio. Esta en esta lista porque para muchos, entre ellos para mí, podríamos definir este coche como el “Mustang japones”. 4. Toyota Land Cruiser 55 Series (1977) Otro coche que tiene video monográfico titulado “Land Cruiser, mejor que el original”. Y es que este modelo nació como una copia casi exacta del Jeep, pero no paró de evolucionar hasta superar al original… 5. Suzuki Jimny, 2ª Generación (1981) Otro coche con vídeo específico… lógico que muchos de esos coches tengan vídeo, por algo son los mejores de la historia o al menos uno de los mejores. Si el Land Cruiser es una copia del Jeep, este Suzuki se podría decir que era una copia “Miniaturizada” del mismo coche, del Jeep. Y muy bien hecha. 6. Mazda MX5 (1989) Decía al comenzar que aunque quería tratar de huir de tópicos… hay casos en los que es imposible. Y uno de ellos es este, el descapotable más vendido de la historia. De este coche no hay vídeo específico… pero lo habrá. 7. Honda NSX (1990) El NSX tenía que estar, sí o sí, en esta lista. De este coche no hay un video, hay dos, Uno monográfico titulado “Honda NSX, ¿el rival más duro de Ferrari?”. El otro es una comparativa vintage con rivales de su época, el Mazda RX7 y el Mitsubishi 3000 GT, que podrían estar en esta lista, y el Porsche 968. 8. Lexus LS 400 (1990) Otro coche que tenía que estar en esta lista, aunque muchos se olvidan de él. Y es que ahora todos sabemos que Lexus está al nivel de las mejores marcas Premium y en muchos aspectos las supera. 9. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (1993) Podría haber más de un Mitsubishi en esta lista, pero he escogido este, convertido en un icono de los Rallyes... y Evo, de "Evolution" en una especie de sub marca de Mitsubishi. He escogido el de la segunda generación porque es cuando “conocí” este coche y lo pude probar… 10. Honda Civic Type R (1992) Podíamos decir que el Civic representa los valores típicos de los coches japoneses Calidad, finura, fiabilidad… y en este caso no se pude decir que sea una copia de nada, sino un producto 100x100 japones nacido en 1972 y que la marca ha ido evolucionando acertadamente. 11. Toyota Prius (1997) Tercer Toyota de la lista, cuarto si contamos al Lexus… pero pocos coches han cambiado tanto la historia del automóvil desde el punto de vista tecnológico como este, te guste o no. La idea de los ingenieros japoneses de reaprovechar la energía que se “tiraba” en las frenadas cargando una batería, fue brillante. Más aún su puesta en escena. 12. Subaru Imprezza 22B STi (1998) Lo mismo que con Mitsubishi, en esta lista podría haber más Subaru, una marca siempre especial, pionera en la tracción total antes que Audi y con peculiares motores bóxer. He escogido el 22B STi sencillamente porque me parece impresionante. Su motor bóxer de 2,2 litros y 290 CV es una pasada. Permite un centro de gravedad bajo y unas prestaciones excepcionales. 12+1. Nissan GT-R (2007) Un homenaje a un coche tristemente desaparecido en 2022. Nissan quiso poner en jaque a Porsche, pero no a su 911, sino al “rey” al 911 Turbo… y en mi opinión lo consiguió.

¡Qué bonitos eran los coches con faros escamoteables o retráctiles! Me gustaban por muchos motivos, entre otros porque eran como “dos coches en uno”. Por ejemplo, el F40: Parece otro coche cuando lleva los faros fuera. ¿Por qué desaparecieron? ¿Cuáles fueron los más espectaculares? Todo eso y mucho más, “bonus track” incluido, os lo contamos en este vídeo. Pero antes de seguir, por si hay algún despistado, vamos a contar qué son los faros escamoteables. Primero una definición un poco infantil, “naïve” que diría Rodrigo: Son faros que suben y bajan…o que aparecen y desaparecen… más o menos. Son faros que cuando no los necesitamos están ocultos o en una posición que favorece la aerodinámica, pero que cuando los necesitamos o bien pivotan, emergen, se destapan o se articulan… Era un recurso estilístico muy usado a partir de los años 70 y hasta los 90. El motivo es sencillo: Poner los faros, para un diseñador, es siempre un engorro por posición, espacio que ocupan y porque por muy afilado que quieras hacer el morro, los faros para ser eficaces deben presentar una superficie que forme más o menos un ángulo recto con la carretera. Así que, para hacer una línea lo más afilada posible los estilistas recurrían a una solución muy eficaz: Quitarlos. Es la mejor manera de hacer un frontal muy afilado, no tienes nada que te estorbe. Huelga decir que la mayoría de estos coches tenían mejor aerodinámica de día, que de noche… Como os he dicho los hay que se tumban, es el caso de los Porsche 928 y del 968, entre otros. Cuando están tumbados los faros se ven, pero no son operativos. Los hay que se esconden y cuando suben aparecen, pero más integrados que en los casos anteriores, la forma más común y usada en el citado Ferrari F40, en el Chevrolet Corvette o Lotus Esprit entre otros. En otros casos pivotan de forma que la pieza que acoge el faro cuando está en una posición es muy aerodinámica y cuando gira, aparece el faro, pero muy integrado… es la solución del Opel GT, por ejemplo. Otra opción es la del Lincoln Continental, por ejemplo, el del 70, que oculta los faros, pero sin ninguna pretensión aerodinámica, solo por estética. 1. Alfa Romeo Montreal (1970). Un pedazo de diseño de nada menos que Marcello Gandini. Tan equilibrado que no parece que tenga motor delantero. Lo he incluido, pero en realidad no lleva faros escamoteables, sino faros semi ocultos. 2. BMW M1 (1978). De Gandini a Giugiaro… Giorgetto para este coche diseño un capó bajo y afilado, sin ningún elemento mecánico que le estorbase puesto que el motor era central. Para poner un par de faros fue necesario ponerlos retráctiles. 3. Chevrolet Corvette (1967). Aunque la segunda generación ya los tenía retráctiles, para mí el más bonito es el de la tercera de 1967, por supuesto también con faros escamoteables… una preciosidad en la que, por cierto, se inspiró el citado Opel GT. 4. Ferrari F40 (1987). Damos un salto en el tiempo y nos vamos a otro coche y a otro gran diseñador, la empresa Pininfarina y su “empleado”, con comillas, en esos momentos, Leonardo Fioravanti. Recientemente hemos hecho un vídeo de este coche y no dijimos nada de los faros… así que aquí está. 5. Ferrari Daytona (1968). Este precioso Ferrari diseño de Pininfarina ha quitado el sitio a otro Ferrari, el Testarossa… pero sí que hay muchos Ferrari con faros retráctiles, por el mismo motivo del BMW M1: Con motor central es fácil hacer un morro afilado. Pero el Daytona llevaba un motor V12 delantero y a pesar de ello, un afilado morro… con faros escamoteables. 6. Lamborghini Countach (1974). Gandini vuelve a asomar la cabeza… y es que cuando se habla de coches bonitos, siempre está ahí, la verdad es que el Countach es bonito, pero más que bonito es impresionante. Y sí que tiene un morro muy bajo, en este caso los faros escamoteables eran imprescindibles. 7. Lincoln Continental (1970). He elegido este coche porque como hemos comentado, en este caso los faros escamoteables no buscaban una mejor aerodinámica, sino una línea distinta… y esta quinta generación del Continental, la tiene. 8. Lotus Esprit (1976). Os juro que ha sido casualidad, no he buscado el empate, pero este diseño es de Giugiaro… por el mismo motivo que Gandini, si hablas de coches bonitos sale a relucir. Y este es bonito y mucho, además de coche Bond. 9. Mazda MX5 (1989). Por supuesto, hablamos de la primera generación. Está como representante de los japoneses, porque hubo muchos coches japoneses con faros retractiles, algunos tan moderno como el Celica de la IV generación (1985). 10. Porsche 928 (1978). Hemos hablado de él y el mismo sistema fue “copiado” por el 968 (1992). En ambos casos con los faros fuera, el coche tenía una cierta estética de rana, al menos discutible… Bonus Track. Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 A de 1936, Oldsmobile Toronado y Saab Sonett.

00:00 - OPEN: Serendipity And Craiglist Can Help You Find A Perfect Used Car - Part IIIt's time to take another look at some of the fun, interesting used vehicles you can find when you let Serendipity and a quick local Craigslist search be your guide. 00:55 - INTRO - Serendipity Search ExplainedThis Serendipity search idea is really simple, and it goes like this. Open up your local Craigslist, go to "Cars and Trucks", click on for sale by owner, leave the rest of the search parameters blank, hit enter and then scroll down and see which cars have been posted most recently. Following these steps is important because you're just trying to view what's been posted to Craigslist in the last few hours up to 24-hours. In my experience, the really interesting used cars with amazingly low prices will be sold in less than 24-hours. The following are some of the interesting cars, trucks and SUVs I found near me in a recent Serendipity + Craigslist search: 05:30 - Interesting Sports Cars 1974 Fiat X1/91993 Pontiac Trans Am1997 Mazda Miata09:00 - Sporty and Fun And Practical, but Mostly Sporty Cars 1987 Toyota Celica GT-S1998 Acura Integra GS-R Sedan2015 Ford Fiesta ST11:50 - SUVs, Crossovers and Trucks 2007 Honda Element2000 Nissan Frontier Pick-up2002 Isuzu Trooper14:55 - Older, Funkier 4x4s1984 Ford Bronco1987 Suzuki Samurai1992 Isuzu Trooper RS 2-Door19:05 - Which One(s) Would I Buy If I had $15K To Spend? Maybe the Fiat X1/9 because it was cool (to me) or maybe the Fiesta ST (it's newer, fun to drive and would make a great daily), but in the end I chose three: the 1987 Celica, the 1998 Integra GS-R Sedan and the Trooper RS 2-door. All three of these vehicles together added up to $15,300. 20:30 - Close - Time To Try This Method YourselfGive this search method a try next time you think you can't find something fun in your price range. Great cars and trucks at an affordable price can appear out of nowhere, but they won't last long, so act quickly if you find something you like.

The Toyota Supra has become a Japanese performance icon since it formally spun off from the similarly iconic Celica in the 1980s. Most notably, the fourth-generation or A80 chassis Toyota Supra has cemented itself as a cultural icon with its starring role in The Fast and the Furious, its inclusion in racing video games, and its success on the race track. The Supra did fall out of the Toyota lineup before the new millennium but was reborn after more than 20 years on the backburner. The reborn Supra launched in 2019 with only an eight-speed automatic behind the BMW-built I6 mill, to the chagrin of manual transmission enthusiasts. Well, Toyota listened to the manual transmission cries and delivered for the 2023 model year. Mated to the 3.0-liter I6 is now a six-speed manual transmission that feeds power exclusively to the rear wheels. On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2023 Toyota GR Supra and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of this manual-equipped Supra and highlights some of his favorite parts. Later, Wren takes you along for a live drive review of the Supra. Joining these segments, Wren chats with Patrick Carone about the latest generation Supra, its place in the market, and its spot in history. The two talk about the Supra's lack of competition in the market, and the joy of adding a manual transmission. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes the Supra special.

When you think drifting, you also think of a 1966 Toyota Stout right?Even if you don't, Ryan Tuerck's mate did, so that is what he's built with @toyotausa  and @OfficialMobil1. Moving on from the previous Ferrari-powered GT86 (GT4586) and Formula Supra (Judd V10 powered) time attack builds this drift ute, or drift truck depending on your regional dialect, fell just short of laying rubber at @semashow 22', but is tantalisingly close to doing so very soon.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inPowered by a 3S-GTE that's also a little bit 5S-FE, 600-650hp is the goal although 1000hp would be possible, it probably wouldn't work well with the 275's on the rear and light weight.The 3SGTE (MR2, Celica) based build sports a @Turbobygarrett GTX 770 turbocharger, mild cams, 10:1 compression, non-stroker crank and 87mm bore giving a capacity of 2.1L. The 5S-FE block which is normally 2.2L is used for its increased strength over the 3S and the team hopes to get 3 seasons of runs out of this setup before a refresh is due with @JohnReedRacing tuning the project.Electronics are handled by @unicorngarage6095 and a suite of @MoTeCAustralia products from the M150 ECU, C1212 dash logger to a PDM30 which will see the car run without fuses or relays, something the Toyota engineers in the 1960's no doubt wouldn't have thought likely all those years ago. Probably weren't expecting 600hp+ rather than the stock 85hp either!Drivetrain and suspension wise the somewhat classic Holinger sequential transmission and @wintersperformanceproducts rear end will play nicely with the tried and tested double A arm setup out of a Chevrolet Corvette which should give no nasty surprises and only straightforward setup changes once shakedown runs begin.'Sick utes' aka pre-runner aficionados @Kibbetech handled the tube frame chassis design and fabrication with CNC support from Bending Solutions (Rob Parsons) with many hours spent in CAD beforehand to give an accurate finished product rather than one that needed some major or minor 'fettling' as is sometimes the case with one off 'build as you go' projects that need more time than was on hand for this particular project.Jon Sibal has done a great job of helping this vision look awesome not just in the mind but also in the flesh with his work on the body kit which thanks to some laser scanning and great work from ADV Fiberglass has turned out perfect.Want to learn how to tune EFI?

Toyota launched its A90-generation Toyota Supra after a long lull in the Supra's nameplate. The beloved automotive star of the first Fast and Furious film went on hiatus after 1998 in the United States. Toyota famously brought the Supra back under its Gazoo Racing subbrand in 2019. While the Supra might not be on the bones of a Celica or a Lexus SC, the A90-Generation still sticks to what made the Supra a Japanese classic. Powering the '22 GR Supra is a turbocharged 3.0-liter I6 that's mated to an eight-speed transmission. Toyota will offer the manual transmission on the '23 models, but this '22 example is automatic only. On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2022 Toyota Supra and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the Supra and highlights its styling, features and interior materials before taking you on a live drive review. Adding to the show, Wren chats with Autoweek's Patrick Carone about the Supra, its position in sports car history and where it stands against the competition. The two talk about the car's performance, and its automatic transmission. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes this car special.

By the time Robbie got to Phoenix, [North Carolina Jay] Art and Jay were cruising.  Were they in a 1979 Celica, driving back and forth from Sonic to McDonald's?  Not exactly.  B ut they were in the studio talking about a top vacation choice for many guys of a certain age: a cruise.  Jay didn't have a pony to ride upon his boat, but he did just return from an Alaskan cruise, and aside from a little fog, the only downside was that he had to disembark the ship.  A four-time cruiser, Jay compares his experiences from single guy doing this new dance called the Macarena, to the silver anniversary trip where most of the guests had silver hair.  Meanwhile, Art reminisces about his glory days in the Caribbean.  In the Geeks of the Week segment, an 80's talking head makes a return to the screen, and "Holy Cancellation, Batgirl!”, a bajillion dollar movie won't even make it to Quibi.  Be sure to download this episode before getting on the ship - the wifi stinks.

El presidente de la Asamblea Nacional, Virgilio Saquicela Espinoza, suscribió como testigo de honor el Convenio Marco de Hermanamiento y convivencia entre los gobiernos autónomos descentralizados municipales de Celica, Zapotillo, Paquisha, Yanzatza, Nangaritza, Huaquillas de las provincias de Loja, Zamora y El Oro, por Ecuador, y las municipalidades provinciales y distritales de la región norte de Perú: Tumbes, Marcavelica, Talara, Lancones, Huancabamba y Máncora. El convenio, que tendrá una duración de cinco años, tiene como objetivo establecer el marco de cooperación interinstitucional, para fortalecer la relación comercial, turística y de cultura entre las poblaciones de los dos países. También se proponen suscribir cartas en forma conjunta a los presidentes de las dos naciones para homologar las normas fitosanitarias y para que en el trazado del eje vial 5 se considere como alternativa la siguiente ruta: Puerto de Paita – Puerto Bolívar – Machala – Loja – Zamora – Sarameriza, el mismo que consta en el Acuerdo de Paz y que sean los estudios técnicos los que determinen lo más conveniente. El documento fue suscrito por las autoridades de Celica, Zapotillo, Paquisha Nangaritza y Huaquillas, por Ecuador; y, Tumbes, Marcavelica, Lancones, Máncora y Talara, de Perú. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hechosecuador/message

If you have ever played Sega Rally Championship, you've undoubtedly heard Kenneth Ibrahim's voice before. Today, Kenneth is a Senior Pipeline Technical Director at Lucasfilm, working on Star Wars animated series. But almost 30 years ago, he served as your trusty co-driver in Tetsuya Mizuguchi's seminal arcade racing classic. Kenneth was gracious enough to join us for nearly two hours of incredible stories, charting his whirlwind start at Sega at the peak of the company's dominance, a career in computer graphics that sent him to Japan and back and, of course, how he wound up calling the shots in the Celica and Delta, much to his surprise. If you love Sega in the '90s, this is one you won't want to miss. Follow Kenneth Ibrahim on Twitter @twittiamo and watch his series, Star Wars: The Bad Batch, on Disney+.

El presidente de la Asamblea Nacional, Virgilio Saquicela, recibió la visita del alcalde de Celica, Oswaldo Román Calero, quien le invitó a participar en la firma del Convenio Marco de Hermanamiento entre los alcaldes de la región sur del Ecuador y de la región norte del Perú, en calidad de testigo de honor. Virgilio Saquicela comprometió su visita a este cantón conocido como la “Celestial Celica”, a fin de participar en el evento de suscripción del convenio. En este encuentro, que se realizará en ciudad de Celica el 13 de agosto de 2022, a las 12h00, participarán los alcaldes de las provincias de El Oro, Loja y Zamora, por Ecuador y de Tumbes, Piura y Cajamarca, por el Perú. El Alcalde de Celica afirmó que el Acuerdo de Paz, suscrito entre Ecuador y Perú, exige acciones concretas que permitan alcanzar el progreso integral de ambos lados de la frontera, “empeño común que debe conducirnos a establecer los canales interinstitucionales de apoyo que estemos en capacidad de generar”. Explicó que en este contexto el convenio tiene como objetivos fortalecer lazos de hermanamiento para impulsar el comercio, la cultura y el turismo; exhortar a los presidentes de Perú y Ecuador a homologar las normas fitosanitarias, para que haya fluidez en el comercio de las dos regiones, y que estudien otra alternativa para el Eje Vial 5, como es la ruta Puerto de Paita - Puerto Bolívar - Loja - Zamora – Sarameriza. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hechosecuador/message

Las marcas puramente generalistas han ofrecido sino siempre, casi siempre, en sus gamas, un modelo deportivo. Y si no siempre, casi siempre, han fracasado. Los deportivos de las marcas generalistas sistemáticamente han fracasado… aunque hay explicaciones y hay excepciones… ¿Es lo mismo coupé que deportivo? Sí y no. De un coche con carrocería coupé se espera una cierta deportividad, por prestaciones y comportamiento. Pero hay coches muy deportivos con carrocerías nada deportivas, como son todos los Gti y algunos ejemplos paradigmáticos, como puede ser el Mitsubishi Evo, un coche muy deportivo con carrocería de taxi… Los coches deportivos solo mantienen su valor y su caché si son de marcas Premium… o semi-Premium y que siempre han cuidado mucho esta categoría. El caso Toyota. Si atendemos a su variada gama, que empieza muy abajo Toyota es una marca generalista. Pero es una marca que, en muchos mercados, entre ellos es español, se percibe como algo más que generalista, quizás, entre otras cosas, a su contrastada calidad. Y también, quizás, porque siempre han cuidado este segmento de los coches deportivos. Toyota siempre ha ofrecido deportivos de mucho nivel. No podemos olvidar al excelente Supra ni al Celica ni al MR2 de motor central. Y en la actualidad sigue cuidando este segmento. Volkswagen: La sombra del Golf es alargada. VW es otra de esas marcas que podíamos definir como semi-Premium y que siempre ha cuidado el segmento de los deportivos, con coches como el Corrado y las sucesivas generaciones de Scirocco… pero siempre a la sombra del Golf. Los refinados Honda. No me quiero olvidar de Honda, otra marca muy especial y que siempre ha tenido deportivos en su gama, algunos muy modestos, como el S600 que pude conducir en un rallye de regularidad, el precioso S2000, el polivalente Prelude o su majestad el NSX. Hyundai Coupé. En este caso no hay duda: Hyundai es una marca generalista. Y en sus comienzos, una marca con imagen casi de Low Cost, como era el caso de todas las coreanas. Pero es que Hyundai se lo curró de verdad. Fui a la presentación de la primera generación (1996-1999) y probé la versión de 1.8 litros y 130 CV. Muchos compañeros míos decían que el coche era muy feo, algunos que corría poco y ninguno que no fuese muy bien de bastidor… Los fracasados. He elegido unos pocos, aunque hay más. Los he elegido por que son coches todos ellos que probé en su momento y algunos de ellos, también después, ya como clásicos. Vamos por orden alfabético. Citroën SM (1970-1975) ¿Un fracaso el SM? Ya sabéis que es un coche que me encanta, pero sí, fue un fracaso. El Citroën SM debutó casi al mismo tiempo que la crisis del petróleo. Y por mucho motor Maserati que llevase un deportivo tan caro, tracción delantera y bastante delicado… no interesaba demasiado. ¿Se adelantó a su tiempo? Puede ser. Ford Cougar (1998-2002) También estuve en la presentación de este coche en Alemania. Y acerté en su momento cuando dije que este coche no iba a triunfar. ¿Era un mal coche? Pues no, pero no era deportivo para nada y su estética, en mi opinión, era un poco anodina. Fiat Coupé (1993-2000) Honestamente, no so muy fan de Chris Bangle, diseñador de este coche… que desde luego es original y llamativo, pero no me parece un coche de verdad bonito. Aunque voy a ser honesto: Al contrario de muchos de los coches de esta lista, que han envejecido mal, creo que a este coupé la pasa lo contrario. Opel Calibra (1989-1997) Este coche no era ni más ni menos que un Vectra con carrocería coupé. Pero con la aparición del V6, del Turbo, de 4x4 y su participación en el DTM, se le dio bastante lustre. Peugeot 406 Coupé (1995-2005) Este coche no solo fue diseñado por Pininfarina, sino incluso fabricado cerca de Turín. Y es que es un coche bonito que tuvo éxito, del que se vendieron más de 100.000 ejemplares. Suponía el retorno de la marca a este segmento y se ofrecían versiones con motor 2.0 litros de 136 CV y un V6 de 3.0 litros y 207. Siempre fue un coche cerca del concepto GT, coche bonito pero práctico y cómodo, y lejos del concepto deportivo. Renault Fuego (1980-1982) Poner una carrocería coupé y un motor más potente a un R18 no lo convierte en deportivo. Y luego ya, si para colmo, le pones un motor turbodiésel… pues ¿Qué queréis que os diga? El Fuego fue un buen coche, especialmente valorado en Argentina, donde se le vio mucho en competición. Conclusión. Los usuarios amantes de los deportivos valoran mucho la marca. Pero esto no es solo una cuestión de “marquismo”, que también, sino de diversión al volante. El mayor problema de los deportivos generalistas es que no eran deportivos, sino coches con carrocerías más bonitas destinadas a personas que no necesitaban una berlina.
