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 GT86 GT4 racer is ready for UK competition

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

It's about time we saw someone cook up a legitimate race version of the delectable Toyota GT86, and now it looks as if GPRM has done just that. The Buckingham-based race engineering team has built the creation you see here, complete with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, direct-injection four-cylinder boxer cooked up by Nicholson McLaren Engines. The team says the new mill delivers between 360 and 400 horsepower to the rear wheels depending on final testing, which is a sight bit more than the 197 horses the naturally aspirated stock mill offers.
The car will compete in GT4 events, including the Avon Tyres British GT Championship. Technically, the GPRM effort isn't factory backed, but the team says the effort "has the blessing of Toyota Great Britain." How could it not? You can check out the brief press release below below, and be sure to take a closer look at the machine in our gallery.

Toyota will bring Lexus-based Platform 3.0 autonomous vehicle to CES

Thu, Jan 4 2018

The Toyota Research Institute says it will bring its next-generation Platform 3.0 automated driving vehicle to CES next week, an autonomous test car that is notable for incorporating the sensors and cameras into the body, rather than as ungainly attachments, and with the spinning LIDAR rooftop sensor replaced by a more sleek panel of sensors. Platform 3.0 is built on a Lexus LS600hL. Toyota Research Institute says it enlisted CALTY Design Research in Ann Arbor, Mich. and engineers at Toyota's nearby North America R&D center to conceal the equipment. As a result, Platform 3.0 gets a new rooftop weather and temperature proof panel, which it says was inspired by off-road motorcycle helmets, integrated into the available space in the sunroof compartment to minimize height. It's also embellished with chrome trim along the side, where it meets the roofline, and the rear swoops down to integrate with the LS's contour lines. The team also managed to consolidate computational electronics and wiring into a small box in the trunk. Toyota says the Platform 3.0 is one of the most perceptive autonomous test vehicles on the road today, with a design makes the test vehicle easy to build at scale. It gets a Luminar LIDAR system boasting a 200-meter, 360-degree range (the previous version only tracked the forward direction), enabled by four high-res LIDAR scanning heads that help it better see dark objects. Shorter-range LIDAR sensors feature low on all four sides of the vehicle, one on each front quarter panel and on the front and rear bumpers, to detect low-level and smaller objects, like children or road debris. Production begins this spring at the Toyota Motor North America R&D headquarters at low volumes to allow for flexibility, given the rapid rate of development of Toyota's autonomous test platforms. Some will be assembled using Toyota's Guardian dual-cockpit control layout to allow for transferring control between a human test driver and the automated system while keeping the driver as a backup, while the single-cockpit, fully autonomous Chauffeur mode will be shown at CES starting Jan. 9.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Toyota nears $40B cash reserve as calls grow for new investment, payouts

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

With the April 15 tax deadline just a few months away, our US readers will be faced with a decision should they get a refund: save or spend? It seems this issue is one many of us face whenever there's a windfall, trying to decide whether we should set the money aside in an account of some sort or use it as a down payment on a new car or a trip to the Apple store. Unsurprisingly, major corporations face a similar, albeit more complex, issue.
Take Toyota, for example. With President Akio Toyoda at the helm, the Japanese manufacturer has gracefully weathered recalls and natural disasters, all while turning beaucoup profits. Last quarter, profits quintupled to 434.4-billion yen ($4.3-billion USD), according to Bloomberg. Toyota also upped its forecast for the end of fiscal year 2013 (which ends on March 31 for Japan), to a record 1.9-trillion yen (about $18.8 billion). Now, the Japanese brand is reportedly sitting on a cash pile of nearly $40 billion, leaving Toyoda-san in an envious predicament - what should the company do with all that money?
Some think Toyota should be doing something, anything with that big stack of cash.
