1992 Toyota Celica GT-S with 26,000 original miles. 
Original Owner
Mint leather interior
Paint still looks near new.  There are some chips and dings that need to be fixed.  I'm guessing around $1,000 to $1,500 to fix all.  With that, the interior and exterior of the car would easily be in show quality condition.
Runs like brand new.  Engine would need detailing to be show quality, but is 100% original except the battery. See pics.  Even the radiator hoses and hose clamps are original with the factory inspection marks still on them.  
Power sunroof, windows, locks, mirrors & seats
Premium stereo
Original paperwork and two original Toyota keys.
Interior needs nothing.  As close to mint new condition as possible for a used car.  
Never wrecked.  Never so much as had a scratch repaired - 100% original paint.
Tires replaced due to dry rot and in excellent condition.
Garaged or covered for 95% of its life
Brand new battery & just fully detailed
Owned by older woman who was my mother and the original owner.  She bought it when she was 62 and passed away a year ago at age 84.  From day one, this was a second car for her that was driven weekly to bi weekly to run local errands.  The car has almost certainly never seen anything above 55-60 mph.  Doubtful the engine has ever revved beyond 3K rpm.  Very well maintained as well with regular fluid changes.  Not much else was required due to the low miles.       
I don't know much about these cars, but when she bought it, the salesperson told her it had every option.  I have the original window sticker and will post it later. 

I would be surprised if there was a nicer, lower mileage 92 Celica that existed, much less one that was fully optioned and with a such a beautiful color combination. 

My Mom loved this car and despite many, many offers, refused to sell it.  You will never find another 20 year old plus Celica like this again. 

I am happy to answer any questions that you have about the car.  Will provide my cell phone number for serious buyer.

LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.

2014 Toyota Highlander

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Midsize crossovers like the Toyota Highlander tend to play a thankless role in the life of today's modern family.
That's really too bad. With the ability to hold several hyperactive kids and tons of cargo while keeping everyone safe and comfortable in all kinds of climate conditions day in and day out, they're true heroes in the lives of hundreds of thousands of families across the country. Yet their car-apathetic owners often immediately forget about them as soon as their work is done. And nearly all midsize crossovers are thoroughly ignored by enthusiasts whose eyes begin to glaze over at first mention of the phrase "third row."
Toyota is looking to soften the blow somewhat by giving its midsize crossover, the Highlander, a big redesign for the 2014 model year. With a bold new look, updated suspension and a refreshed interior focused on comfort and convenience, Toyota aims to make the Highlander sportier to drive and more striking in appearance, because, as the marketing team explains, "families are going places and they want to get there in style."

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
