MAGAZINES>>STYLE WAGON
Filed under: , , , , , , ,

Here's another bit of printed treasure that I picked up during my recent stay in Japan, and another magazine title that fits well with this month's theme - Style Wagon. Since I bought my own van earlier this spring, I've been keeping an extra close eye on this magazine along with some of the other wagon and van publications available in Japan. Van dress-up and customization continues to be extremely popular in Japan, so naturally Style Wagon has a large following there....

I spotted this decked out pop-top VW bus and trailer combo at a local Volkswagen gathering here in Central California last month and thought some of you guys might enjoy seeing this interesting creation. Although these old buses make a Toyota Prius look like a Ferrari when it comes to performance, I think stuff like this is certainly worthy of a mention here on Speedhunters. Do you agree when I say that it might impossible to find cars with more character than vintage VW vans? There's got to be a reason why cars (or vans) like this one put more smiles on people's faces than high dollar custom show cars or spot-on restos... -Mike Garrett...

NEW CARS>>TOYOTA iQ & OTHER JDM MODELS @ MEGAWEB

Speedhunters
If you've been reading Speedhunters for a while, then you might remember that I did a short story about Toyota's "Megaweb" in Odaiba last year. In case you haven't heard of it, Megaweb is a huge showroom where you can check out the latest Toyota models and even test drive them around a special course that's setup outside. It's a worthy stop for any car enthusiast who's visiting Tokyo. With it being Toyota month and all, I figured it would be a good time to take another trip to Megaweb to see if there was anything new. Visiting Megaweb is also a great way to get a look at Toyota's current JDM car lineup. ...
