1985 Celica Convertible with extremely low 46,xxx miles.
There were only 4 to 5 thousand of these made ever; a handful in 1984 and the rest in 1985. I only know of one or two other with fewer miles. This is the first 'official' Celica convertible year and also the last year that Celicas had rear wheel drive. I've had it for about 5 years and have driven it only during the summer, maybe 2,000 miles per year. It runs great and I've loved driving it - I'm just making room for a different vehicle. This is the second one of these I've owned; I really liked the first one but it was really beat up and couldn't pass up getting this one with its low miles. When I bought it, it had just been restored to working order after many years of sitting and had been retired from the DMV records. It was given a paint job as part of that restoration. Overall, it's in really nice shape: - The upholstery is all intact. Rugs also. No cracks in the dash. - No rust. - A brand new top and headliner were professionally installed in 2012. The hydraulic system to raise and lower the top works fine. - The radio is a 5 year old Kenwood with aux / usb in; I kept the original radio / tape desk as well. - The 3 piece fiberglass parade boot is in nice shape. These are a bit more rare than the car itself. - I have an extra set of seat belts for it. They were only made for this one year, so when I got the chance to get a backup set I jumped on it. - Tires are maybe 4 years old but have only been driven on less that 10K miles. - I put a new muffler and catalytic converter on it when I got it. On the down side: - It leaks some motor oil (it does not burn oil at all). My mechanic said just drive it that way. Seems like it's leaking less lately, maybe an old seal is reseating after that long sit? No other leaks. - There's a couple of dings, none too bad. - A/C doesn't work. I've never tried to fix it - it's a convertible. - The mirrors could be painted. The ones that came on it looked good but didn't work mechanically, so I replaced them with working ones. I believe I still have them as well. - Even with the new top on, it will leak some in moderate rain around the front corners. I've pretty much only driven it in nice weather. - The automatic radio antenna raises to different levels each time the car is turned on. - The paint job it last got was fine, but it could have used better prep in a few spots. That's about it. It's a cool, classic, rare convertible that's lots of fun to drive. |

2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport
Tue, 16 Apr 2013"Oh yeah, Toyota still makes the Tacoma." Admit it, that's what you just said to yourself. It's a perfectly natural reaction, but the Tacoma has been quietly anchoring its segment for years, outselling every other compact pickup without making too much of a fuss. Toyota hasn't neglected the Tacoma - it was updated in 2012 with a revised nose and interior as the most noteable changes.
In a world awash with high-value fullsize pickups all vying for your attention, the Tacoma still charms more than a few buyers out of their cash. I hooked a Tacoma for a week to see whether it still has enough to recommend it.

Toyota launches Pixis Space; first kei cars are Daihatsus in drag
Fri, 09 Sep 2011Toyota has announced that it will unveil its first-ever kei car to be sold under its recently launched Pixis sub-brand. The vehicle, called the Pixis Space, will make its official debut in late September. Based on the Daihatsu Move Conte, the Pixis Space will be sold at Toyota dealerships through what the automakers calls "Pixis stations." Yes, seriously.
After Toyota's version of the Daihatsu Move Conte makes its debut, the Japanese automaker will launch a Pixis-badged Daihatsu Hijet truck and microvan in December. By the end of 2012, Toyota says it will launch a Pixis version of the upcoming Daihatsu e:S - a vehicle that returns 70.6 miles per gallon (U.S.) as measured under Japan's JC08 test cycle.
In case you weren't aware, Daihatsu - Japan's oldest manufacturer of automobiles - operates under the control of Toyota. In other words, these Pixis machines are simply badge engineering at the kei level.
Toyota mulling Cummins diesel for Tundra?
Mon, 02 Sep 2013When Bloomberg spoke to Toyota USA Sales CEO Kazua Ohara recently, we highlighted his comments on the possible return of the Toyota Supra. However, the interview started with Ohara discussing the Tundra, and how it would take time to pinpoint and hone the pickup truck's brand image in the minds of consumers. That effort could get a boost, with a report in Edmunds saying that Toyota is "evaluating" the addition of a Cummins turbodiesel to the Tundra's engine options.
The Cummins powerplant is one of two options for the moment, the other being a hybrid powertrain. If the oil-burner got the thumbs-up, Toyota would follow the recent example of Nissan, which announced it would put a Cummins turbodiesel into its 2015 Titan. While the two Japanese companies make a closer comparison since they're both talking about Cummins applications in light-duty trucks, if it happens, it could be seen as further diluting the once-exclusive tie-up that Ram trucks has had with Cummins even though Ram has used Cummins in its heavy-duty truck.
Toyota hasn't said when it will decide on which direction to take, but either will be a move for the better in the view of segment watchers; PickupTrucks.com said the first of its top-five fixes for the Tundra would be a better engine, perhaps a diesel-electric hybrid from Toyota's Hino unit. Cummins told Edmunds it can supply a second manufacturer with the 5.0-liter diesel that Nissan will be using, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it end up in a Toyota or somewhere else.
