Michelin is celebrating their 125th anniversary this year, and as part of that, they held a media event at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit.

The 2016 Toyota RAV-4 facelift has been unveiled. The exterior gets a slight refresh while the interior receives some minor updates.
Al Futtaim Motors just celebrated their 60th anniversary this week. That’s right, the UAE’s sole Toyota distributor has been at it for more than half a century, so it’s a bit of a surprise that they’re doing anything TRD-related only now.

One reason why some people skip the Toyota FJ Cruiser in favour of a 4×4 with four proper doors is that they see the FJ as a car with two doors, with the rear-hinged back doors there only for show. Hence it will make a bad family car. However, we managed to use it as one just fine.
The current Toyota Fortuner is a bit long in the tooth, having undergone two minor facelifts over its near decade-long existence. However, it looks like a completely new model is set to debut before the end of 2015.
The 2015 Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD made its debut last weekend at the annual Gulf News fun drive event. The FJ Cruiser is the latest model to get the TRD treatment which already includes Aurion, Corolla, Yaris sedan, Yaris hatchback and the 86. A Fortuner TRD is also available.
