Toyota to drop models



by Brian Byrne. Toyota is to drop its Celica, MR2 (above) and Previa in Europe next year, in part to help it meet CO2 emissions targets across its whole range.

The sports cars may be replaced eventually by a hybrid sports model, possibly under the Lexus brand.

The company has also changed it mind about producing the next Land Cruiser as a Lexus model.
