This is my 2008 Toyota Trail Teams Special Edition, with rare 6 speed stick, 68,000 miles. and is one of the cleanest vehicles you will find. Kelley Blue Book value is $22,159 with the options this truck has and is a private party sell price - NOT a retail price. I am very particular about my cars. It still has the balance of the certified warranty on the power-train up to 100,000 miles or 7 years from date of purchase. No dings, no dents and no scratches. It's clean. Rear seat has never been sat in. Passenger seat has only been sat in a handful of times. Color is White on White, which is a rare, factory option, and only available on the Trail Teams Edition. I have always had seat covers on the front seats to protect them, so they are prefect. If you look closely in the pictures, you will see the seat covers are still on the car, so it's the cover you see that is worn and NOT the seat itself. I have driven this vehicle since it was purchased certified pre-owned form Toyota with upper twenty something thousand miles as a daily driver. I waited for the longest time to find one of these, because it comes with all of the options Toyota offered in the FJ in 2008. All factory options and NONE are aftermarket: Built in Boom Box, Trail Teams Badges, Roof Rack, Manual Transmission, Arctic White on White Paint, TRD(Toyota Racing Division) Black Out Wheels, Off Road Tires, Rock Bars, Off Road Head Lights, Rear Diff. Lock, All Time All-Wheel Drive, Air Conditioning, Parking Sensors, AM/FM/CD, Compass on dash with Camber/Piths Gauges, Anti-Slip Traction Control, Outdoor Temp, 4X4 Low Range, Skid Plates on Both Front and Rear of the Vehicle, Tow Package, Rubber Winter Mats including in the back cargo area, in-dash 6 Disk CD Player, Auxiliary input for iPod or other, 6 speed standard transmission and more. The truck is immaculate and has never been modified or been off road. Never has been in an accident. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to see it. I am ONLY selling to buy a new pickup truck as I need something larger for work. Doubt you will find a cleaner truck. If you know anything about the Toyota FJ, Trail Teams Package, they are very and are sought after. There was only one per dealership allowed, they are extremely hard to come by, and bring a premium when you find one. I think I am asking a fair price as what I have found others have been selling for much more. Take a look on eBay and they are looking for quite a bit more than my asking price.

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.

2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

People, us included, make a big stink about the importance of family sedans. There's no doubt they're critical - they represent a huge slice of the market's annual sales and profits. However, despite accounting for far fewer transactions than the midsize sedan segment, the fullsize sedan is getting attention from manufacturers now that our market's entire lineup of those (slightly) smaller four-doors has turned over in the last two years or so. As most of the fullsize segment's mainstays derive a fair bit of their platform and powertrain technologies from their midsize cousins, these larger four-doors offer the potential for fatter profit margins, too. And with the newly stylish duds found on many of the industry's most successful midsize sedans, it's only right that automakers no longer think about fullsizers as big, squishy, vanilla family haulers with flat seats, vague steering and a thin layer of 'luxury' in the form of faux wood trim.
As manufacturers have again started diving into large sedans feet-first, the cars themselves have become sharper. The interiors are now of a higher quality and loaded with tech, while the exteriors have become further extensions of each manufacturer's design language. There's perhaps no greater example of this than the Chevrolet Impala and Ford Taurus, two models that evolved from subpar offerings into market leaders. This segment-wide transformation happened quite quickly, whether because of coincidental timing or because manufacturers are trying to get more out of their big cars, recognizing they account for a small portion of overall sales (just 3.5 percent of the new-car market in the first half of 2013).
The 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is one such vehicle. We remarked on the changes to the V6 variant last year, and while we previously had a quick steer of the gas-electric hybrid, we figured the new model was worth a closer week-long look.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
