Possible Partial Trade. This 2012 PRIUS has been our personal vehicle since new in November, 2012. Most of the miles have been put on traveling between Florida and Illinois. The only reason we're selling this vehicle is we needed a larger vehicle to make the trip, as we're still in business and need to carry lots of miscellaneous everywhere we go. We would consider a trade for a nice 2003 - 2005 Toyota Rav 4 or, say an Impala LTZ. We'll still need to keep a vehicle in Florida year round. About the car; There was some very light hail damage we occured while at Church one day. It was repaired without having to repaint anything.  The mileage will vary, depending on the outside temperature, weight load, and wind direction. If we lived in the south year round I would think the mileage would range between 42 to 50 miles per gallon, depending on the stated variables. In Illinois the mileage can range from 45 down to as low as 37 miles per gallon.The HEATED SEATS are a welcome option when we're in the north. That being said this car has never seen snow. The synthetic oil only has to be changed every 10,000 miles!! That's the manufacture's suggestion! We have driven the car 6.600 miles on this oil change, and the dip stick is STILL more than 1/2 way between full and add!!  We have reservations about selling this car, as it's never given us a problem. Well, we did take it to the dealer about a noise, which turned out to be a piece of unwanted paper hitting a cooling fan. This car is as good as a used car gets. If you're looking for a brand new car then go buy a brand new car. If you're looking for a like new used car for about 2/3 the new price AND UNBELIEVABLE MILEAGE, then go for this one. There's a ton of Prius "V"s out there with over 200,000 miles. This one is barely broken in! It's still full of factory warranties!!  We still get groceries, etc with the car, so the mileage may have up to, but not over a few hundred miles on it. If sold it will not be driven again and cleaned up as shown for the next proud owner. Any questions, wanting to see the car, or trade offers please contact me thru Ebay, or call Tom at 217-306-2821. The car is in St Pete Beach, Florida; 33706. Thanks for looking!

Toyota launches new Pixis Epoch kei car in Japan

Sat, 12 May 2012

Kei cars may be small in size, but they're big business in Japan. The latest arrival to the category is the little hatch you see above, the Toyota Pixis Epoch.
It's the fourth vehicle produced by the Daihatsu division but sold under the Toyota brand. As with other keis, power comes from a 660cc engine. It's mated to a continuously variable transmission driving either just the front wheels or all four. In both configurations, the Pixis Epoch features a stop-start system that helps its emissions and fuel efficiency figures come in well below even the Japanese government's stringent standards.
The whole package measures just 3,395 mm (133 inches) long, 1,475 mm (58 inches) wide and 1,500 mm (59 inches) tall, but offers a relatively spacious and utile interior, plus a tight turning radius of just 4.4 meters. Pricing ranges from 795,000 to 1.2 million yen - that's less than $10,000 (and no more than $15k). Further details in the press release after the jump.

Toyota Land Cruiser vs Lexus LX 570 Suspension Flex Test

Thu, May 21 2020

There’s no need to explain the Toyota Land Cruiser, one of ToyotaÂ’s earliest successful products. The 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition celebrates some 60 years of popularity of a vehicle that has survived the segmentÂ’s “mall wagon” phase and the rise of crossovers. Its already-sterling reputation has received an additional recent push from the rise of overlanding — an outdoor pastime that has always existed but only recently got a press agent. By comparison, the Lexus LX is a more recent development. Debuting in 1996, the LX 450 was little more than an 80-series Land Cruiser with cladding, a Lexus badge and a higher price. The amount of styling differentiation and luxury specialization has increased over the years to the point that the newest LX 570 actually seems like a completely different vehicle. In truth, the 2020 Lexus LX 570 and the 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser are both 200-series Land Cruisers under the skin. They share the same thirsty 5.7-liter V8 engine and the same frame that features a double-wishbone suspension at the front, a five-link coil spring suspension at the rear and a 112.2-inch wheelbase in the middle. The styling is strikingly different, of course, but so are the hidden details of their suspensions. The Land Cruiser employs a simple set of coil springs and shock absorbers, but with an interconnected pair of automatically disconnecting stabilizer bars called KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System). The Lexus, on the other hand, has fixed stabilizer bars and coil springs, but its “shocks” are really hydraulic cylinders that perform height adjustments and transmit suspension movements via piping to remote electronically-adjustable damper valves mounted along the frame rails. All of the above begs a question: Which of them will go farther up my RTI ramp and, by extension, offer better suspension articulation in an authentic off-road situation? Right away, the very approach to the ramp demonstrates a huge difference and a serious issue for the LX. Its normal cruising height (there is a lower height, but this isnÂ’t that) doesnÂ’t provide enough approach clearance to attempt the ramp. The front spoiler contacts the nasty grating before the tire does. ItÂ’s a close-run thing, but from this point on, clearance gets SMALLER as the left front suspension compresses on the way up. If it's touching now, itÂ’s only going to get worse if I go forward.

Toyota must go to trial over unintended acceleration suits

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

Toyota is surely readying its trial lawyers, as the Japanese giant is officially headed to court in a pair of cases relating to its unintended acceleration fiascos of 2009 and 2010.
In the first case, the United States Supreme Court has actually got involved in matters, ignoring an appeal from Toyota that attempted to use an arbitrator to settle its California lawsuits. The automaker will now go to trial to face owners of 2010 Prius models over an alleged defect with the anti-lock braking systems, which plaintiffs say made the cars more difficult to stop, according to Bloomberg.
The second trial is a bit more in depth, covering the case of Ida St. John, an 83-year-old from Georgia, that crashed her 2005 Camry in 2009. The accident is believed to have played a part in her death, although the suit, being filed by her grandson, doesn't actually place blame on Toyota for her death.
