For Those Who Just Can't Wait: Japanese Company Unveils A Back Seat Toilet
Kaneko Sangyo Co. said Tuesday it has developed a portable toilet for use inside a car that totally conceals the user with a curtain.

The new "Kurumarukun" toilet presented the same day at a trade fair in Nagoya is the first ever model of its kind small enough to fit inside a car, the Aichi Prefecture-based manufacturer of plastic car accessories said.

"The commode will come in handy during major disasters such as earthquakes or when you are on outings or caught in a traffic jam," said a company official.

Sales will begin online on Nov. 15 at a price of 4,725 yen.

Users are required to assemble a cardboard toilet bowl and to fit a water-absorbent sheet inside. The toilet, to be set up on the back seat of a car, comes with a curtain large enough to totally conceal users and a plastic bag to tightly seal human waste for later disposal.

Prior to assembly, the product measures 60 centimeters long, 38 cm wide and 2.5 cm thick and can be carried inside a suitcase, the company said.

On a side note, if you haven't reviewed your car yet or seen what others reviewers are saying, you need to see the brand new AutoSpies.com reader reviews!

Now anyone in the world can review a car like the pro's!

And as an added incentive, the best user review posted over the next 30 days will win a brand new Passport 8500 X50 Radar Detector - Blue (Retail value: $339.00)!

Lexus is going to start offering one of these in the front seat of every IS-F for when the drivers see the C63 or M3 coming at them fast.

Don't give us a piece of your mind. I don't think you have enough to spare.

It's not funny at all. How in the world does he know that the C63 and M3 are going to shoot past the IS-F? He's just in denial that a Japanese brand can actually build a real sport sedan. I have faith that the IS-F will be just as good as the M3 and better than the C63.

How can you possibly think that, is350? I would be surprised if it could match the last-gen C55 for performance and steering feel. The C63 is not a car that's easy to beat by any means--it's considered to be better than the M3 by many, and so is the RS4. And the M3 is also arguably better than either. But the IS-F? The competition is so fierce. I have my doubts, justifiably. It has "only" the same power as the Audi and BMW, but it may not have any distinguishing qualities (such as superb handling) that make it better than the rest.

Well, I've never been impressed with the C63, to be honest.

That is coming from someone who's never even seen it, let alone driven it. I admit that I haven't either, but every single review has praised the car for its incredible dynamics, speed and style.

I've never driven one, but I have sat in one. It wasn't as nice as my IS. I've just never been a Mercedes fan.

The IS-F is gonna force the competition to UP there products... Witch is good for German CARS (and FANBOY) and it is good for Jap cars (RiceBoy or ...)too. Maybe the next car in the line up that we see mixing it up will be the G coupe and sedan with a V8 or the 6 turbo (a detune version of the GT-R engine)
We are lucky to have many great choice in the categorie.
