[News via AnimeNewsNetwork]
Toyota has been teasing a collaboration with Char Aznable, the iconic antagonist of the Mobile Suit Gundam anime franchise, and it unveiled the secret project on Saturday at Japan's Chara-Hobby 2012 event: The MS-186H-CA Auris hatchback in Char's signature matte red.
The Gundam.info website is streaming a promotional video.
On the exterior, the special package from Toyota Modellista International has:
1.a blade antenna inspired by the head antenna on Char's Zaku II mobile suit
 2.aero kit (front spoiler with embedded LED lights, side skirts, rear spats)
 3.rear diffuser and built-in muffler
 4.hood ducts
 5.front and rear light-up Zeon emblems
 6.short suspension springs
 7.mirror detailing
 8.18-inch aluminum wheels with Zeon logos
 9.blackout paint (inside the headlights, front wheels, front bumper, and fog light bezels)
 10.brake caliper paint
 11.original body artwork wrapping (matte color, carbon-style roof, caution labels — many written in German "Achtung") 

Inside, the car has custom leather on the steering wheel, shift knob, shifting mechanism cover, and brake lever. The dashboard and steering wheel have interior artwork wrapping to complement the one on the exterior, while the instrument panel and door trim have a custom black scheme. Both the steering wheel and the push-button start switch have Zeon emblems. The aluminum accelerator, brake, and clutch pedals and original floor mats complete the package.

Tomino Yoshiyuki's New Project - G Reko Info Updated! [8/25/12]

Gundam Creator Tomino's G-Reko Entering Full Fledged Production
[News via AnimeNewsNetwork]
Director discusses robot project's status & he distances it from Gundam:
ANN obtained the October issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Gundam Ace magazine on Saturday and confirmed that it said that G-Reko, the newest robot project from creator Yoshiyuki Tomino (Gundam, Ideon), will be "entering full-fledged production." The update on G-Reko ran in Tomino's "Oshiete Kudasai. Tomino Desu" column.
Tomino was in the middle of interviewing Japanese modern artist Takashi Murakami in his column when he commented on the taxing nature of creating a work "on the level of a television series." Tomino also said that the scenario for the whole G-Reko project has been written and is currently being reevaluated. He added that he would like to draw the storyboards for the entire production, though he realizes that doing so may be impossible. 
Tomino said that the "G-Reko" name was chosen in part because "the 'Gundam' name was a total nuisance when trying to develop a new kind of robot story." He noted that the "G" in the title was revealed earlier as standing for "gravity."
For the past few years, Tomino has been discussing "Hajimetai Capital G no Monogatari," a proposed text novel project which featured a space elevator. This method of ferrying objects from a planet's surface to orbit has been a plot point in such anime as The Super Dimension Century Orguss, Mobile Suit Gundam 00, and Tomino's own Turn A Gundam. Then, late last year, Kadokawa Shoten revealed the launch (pictured left) of Tomino's similar G-Reko project at Sunrise, the anime studio behind Gundam and Ideon.
Tomino concluded his Murakami interview by stating that he is taking a break from his Gundam Ace column, which he began in 2003. He cited the time commitment required of him for the production of G-Reko.
