Toyota seems to be on a recall spree, with the latest recall of 82226 units of the Vitz (Yaris) in Japan due to a power window switch problem that could cause a fire. The recall is for Vitz manufactured in the first eight months of 2005. One case of fire has been reported along with 32 problems regarding the power window switch on the driver’s door.

What’s happening to Toyota…I hope they can cope with this problem fast. I’ve always been into this car maker, but 82000 recall cars, it sounds serious.

We have a confession to make. We’ve been smitten with this car since first stumbling across it on Fantasy Junction earlier this year. The 1953 Siata 208S you see above is one of 35 ever created, and this particular example has an unmatched ownership pedigree. Its first owner was none other than Cool himself, Steve McQueen. If that’s not enough to send your eyebrows to your hairline, have a listen to the little roadsters specs. Under the hood you’ll find a Fiat 2.3-liter V8 that has been reworked to produce around 137 horsepower at the rear wheels. There’s no word on how much the thing weighs, but we’re guessing the figure is somewhere between packing peanuts and meringue. Pure. Driving. Joy.
