The 2010 Toyota Tundra is Toyota’s latest contender in the full-size pickup segment. In the past, the Toyota Tundra has fared much better than the Sierra from GMC, and it looks to stay with the Ford F-150 in the middle of the pack behind the Chevrolet Silverado.

Here’s a 2010 Toyota Tundra Video from the web:

Luxury car brands are confronted with a marketing nightmare thanks to the current global economic crisis. To revive floundering sales, Toyota’s luxury wing, Lexus, has come up with a vehicle that might just become the game-breaking model in the midrange luxury crossover segment.

Perhaps the RX’s most appealing feature is Remote Touch, a tactile response input device that makes it easier to access the central console for navigation and entertainment. The system makes use of intuitive tactile input and thus eliminates the need to look over the console and pay close attention to on-screen interfaces. The system also allows voice commands using phrases with keywords. This way, the driver can focus on driving and keeping his eye on the road while accessing important information.

Interesting as Remote Touch is, other aspects of the RX seem to be lacking. The leather of the interior could be better, and fuel economy is really an issue for this crossover. Of course, you can argue that anyone who can afford a luxury vehicle shouldn’t really be that concerned with mileage and efficiency. That said, the RX still looks like a top dog in the luxury crossover category, alongside the Cadillac SRX.

2009 Ford Flex By Nelly

2009 Ford Flex By Nelly

No, Ford didn’t hire Nelly to come up with a track entitled 2009 Ford Flex. Actually, it was Nelly who got wind of Ford’s crossover and thought it was hot enough to own. Of course, being a Grammy Award-winning rapper, Nelly wasn’t just satisfied with owning a regular looking Ford Flex. He just had to make sure that his ride was pimped up before presenting it at this year’s SEMA.

The 2009 “Nelly” Ford Flex comes in a blue finish with a white roof. It was given a modified sound system, a set of 22-inch wheels, an exhaust system and Ford’s SYNC technology and a CIM LIIV wireless Internet entertainment system. This allows Nelly and his passengers to surf the Internet while enjoying the comforts of the Flex’s interior.

And speaking of interiors, no ride would be considered pimped-out if this part of the vehicle was left out. So for Nelly, the inside of his Flex was covered in black Tuscany leather, with matching Katzin seats, and blue stitching.

Now that you know what Nelly added to personalize his Ford Flex, the big question here is, why the Ford Flex? Well, Nelly’s answer was real simple. According to Nelly, the first time he laid eyes on it, he thought it was hot. That simple. If only everything else in life was just like that. Simple, not hot, mind you. Well, hot doesn’t sound that bad either.
