This is a right hand drive,Japanese import. The 80 series turbo diesel land tanks are truly amazing rigs. They are incredibly tough, versatile off road machines,yet really comfortable luxury vehicles. The diesels get good mileage and have gobs of torque,and will out last most of us to boot.

If you don't know about the reputation of these beasts,due some research,It is easy to get hooked on them,Name them and bring them into your family.

This one Is in good mechanical order,everything works including the elec.windows,sun roof,mirrors locks, cruise con.and A/C. She has new discs and rotors,5 new tires and all belts and fluids done. There are 197,000 kms on the rig. The paint ,namely the clearcoat is faded and peeling(normal on these rigs) and there is a small rust patch on the rear drivers side window ledge. The underside is great and undercoated.This is a great price for one of these rare diesel units So you snooze you loose.

I have spent the last 2 weeks with this rig,and I love it. I cruised on the freeway at 160 kmh for one and a half hours and it just purrs. The cruise control works fine. I took it into the hills and put the difflock on and in low it crawled up some nasty mud hills with no problems at all.The auto trans.seems fine and shifts smoothly,quietly and on time.The engine sounds good,starts instantly when cold,other than a bit of normal white smoke at start up,it runs clean. It does not appear to have been smoked in and the seats and carpets are in pretty good shape. The Car was imported from Japan 5 yrs ago and was owned my the same fellow untill 2 weeks ago.

Some deficiencies I have found are. 1 front inner axel seal appears leaky,A/C could use a can of cold juice, shocks could be replaced,exhaust piping is getting tired.a small patch of rust on rear drivers side window ledge,Paint is faded from the japanese acid rain,gas cap cover needs repair.

Over all It is a good example of one of the best 4x4s ever made,and you will be proud to call her yours.

If you are the successful bidder,I will require a 25% deposit within 72 hrs after the auction closes. Full payment within 1 week after the auction closes. you or your shipper will need to travel to sunny beautiful Campbell River B.C Canada to take possession of the vehicle,which is in good road worthy condition. good luck

A note to U.S bidders,it can be tricky to reg these diesels in the u.s ,so check your state regs.

Aston CEO claims Cygnet cancelled because Toyota is dropping iQ in 2014

Sun, 27 Oct 2013

While slow sales and a $50,000 price tag may have been contributing factors to the Aston Martin Cygnet being cancelled last month, Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez is pointing the finger at Toyota for the demise of this luxurious little city car. In a discussion with Autocar, Bez is quoted as saying that the ultimate reason the Cygnet was cut is because Toyota plans on dropping the iQ (on which the Cygnet is based) in 2014 - a claim denied by the Japanese automaker.
Interestingly, the article also cites another publication reporting that a Toyota importer in the Netherlands heard the same news as Bez, and it has already stopped importing the cars. If the European Toyota iQ is cancelled, that would likely spell the end of the slow-selling Scion iQ in the US, which has sold just 3,365 units through September (a drop of 51 percent year over year).
Regardless of why production of the Cygnet ended, Bez also says that a lack of support from Toyota on the project prevented it from being offered in the US or receiving a supercharged engine, which are two factors that likely would have made the car appealing to more buyers.

New drifting world record set in Toyota GT86

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

We have entered a drifting arms race. Last year, BMW smashed the Guinness World Record for the longest drift by hanging the tail out for 51.3 miles around a wet skid pad in an M5 at the BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina. That beat the previous milestone of nearly seven miles. Now, Bimmer's record is up in smoke as well and is in the possession of a Toyota.
German driver Harald Müller pummeled the old record to drift for 89.55 miles around a 0.15-mile (235.5-meter) course in Samsun, Turkey, in a Toyota GT86 (or Scion FR-S as it's known in the US). According to the Guinness World Records website, it took him 612 laps and 2 hours, 25 minutes and 18 seconds to manage the achievement. Sit back to watch a few minutes of the German's two and a half hours behind the wheel with the tail out.

Toyota and Mazda set to expand partnership

Mon, May 11 2015

Toyota and Mazda are already teaming up for the Scion iA and Mazda2, but that partnership might just be the beginning. Reuters reports the two Japanese companies could expand their work together, with Toyota chipping in its experience with both fuel cells and plug-in-hybrid tech, and Mazda contributing its know-how in regards to its Skyactiv line of engines. The report cites a pair of unnamed sources that are "not authorized to discuss the matter publicly." The move, on the surface, is certainly appealing for both parties. Mazda has very little experience with hybrids (remember the Ford-rebadged Tribute Hybrid?), let alone something as advanced as a fuel-cell vehicle. Teaming with Toyota, arguably the world's greatest hybrid manufacturer, would give it a serious leg up. For the Japanese giant, meanwhile, a partnership with Mazda could expand the economy of scale for the Mirai FCV's tech, while Skyactiv engines would do well in replacing the base engines in cars like the Corolla, Camry, and RAV4. What are your thoughts? Would an expanded partnership between Toyota and Mazda make sense? Can you think of any drawbacks? Have your say in Comments.
