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 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table

Fri, 02 May 2014

Okay Toyota, make up your mind. Figure it out. Quit playing games with our heart. Either build a bunch of variations of the excellent GT86 (also known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) or don't. At this point, we're just tired of the back and forth. After no shortage of denials, an Australian website is claiming that Toyota is reconsidering convertible, four-door, turbocharged and all-wheel-drive hybrid variants of the GT86. Kindly pass all the salt.
It's not that we don't want to believe the Aussies; we do. But when the story lists the same "sources in Japan" as a lot of the other denials and confirmations about GT86/BRZ/FR-S variants, well, there's a certain sense of the "Boy That Cried Wolf," here. Ignoring all that, then, what does Motoring.com.au claim to know?
Sources claim the GT86 Convertible will arrive in October 2014, while the turbocharged and hybrid sedans are slated for 2016.

Toyota FT-1 hints at Supra, more aggressive hybrids

Mon, Jan 13 2014

Toyota showed off the new FT-1 performance concept at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show today, and the obvious story angle is that this is the new Supra. That's enough weight for most concept cars to carry, but then we thought about it a bit more - FT-1 stands for "Future Toyota 1," after all - and re-read the hints Toyota is dropping about how the FT-1 fits into the company's future. Put all the pieces together, and we think there's a chance Toyota's hybrid models are about to get a whole lot cooler. Technically, the FT-1 is an EV, but that's just because all it has for a powetrain is a small battery and motor to move it around on stage. This concept doesn't even have a proposed powertrain, but a production Supra could have any number of powerplants under the hood (V6, V8, hybrid and inline-six are all mentioned by Automotive News). We also like the big red start button on the steering wheel, which owes at least a little to the blue start button in the Prius. What we're more interested here is what this sleek red beast could do for the look of Toyota's hybrids. The FT-1 could change how Toyota designs cars in the future. To make the FT-1, Akio Toyoda, the president and CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation, apparently challenged Toyota's Calty Design Research team to create a car with passion and "a palpable heart-pounding sense of excitement." Instead of making design decisions "by consensus among a large group of stakeholders," the company says "the [design] approval process has been streamlined. This new approach aims to produce cars that connect more deeply with customers." There was a sense in Detroit today that the FT-1 heralds a change in how the company designs cars in the future. The FT-1 is apparently not the result of Toyota's hybrid supercar partnership with BMW, but we know that Toyota isn't a total stranger to a high-performance hybrid category, having built the TS030 hybrid Le Mans race car. For an on-road gas-electric from the company, though, we're much more used to the egg-shaped Prius. While Toyota has backed off a 2003 pledge to make every model a hybrid, it has said that it wants gas-electrics powertrains to proliferate throughout the line-up. And, if the FT-1 previews a new Toyota look, then at least some of those hybrids will benefit from some of the good looks on display in Detroit.

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort

Fri, 24 May 2013

Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
