1988 Toyota Supra on 2040-cars
Little Ferry, New Jersey, United States
I never thought this day would come,but here we are..I bought my baby new in June of 88,I watched as the salesman drove it into the lot and was in love with her since.I have almost every receipt since then,a LOT!! After 26 years of rock chips to the hood and windshield,faded bumpers and one nice lady decided to bounce off my left fender after 25 years.No structural damage,I bought a fender,no body work! I had no choice but have the car restored to it's days of glory,as you see by the pictures.Everything works,lighted mirrors,headlight washers,cruise control,light in the hatch,TEMS control,AC.I put 17"Center Line rims on the car years ago,have 2 spare.That big box in the hatch is a Kicker speaker and a Sony 10 disc changer and yes they work great.No engine mods,all stock..My one friend is head mechanic at Toyota and my co-worker has his own shop,they have taken care of her since day one.I have one picture of the car in the garage it's been in since I owned it.If you check the car fax on it,it says 2 accidents.One was the left front fender and the other was I hit a pothole and blew out my tire.I reported it thinking the town would pay the rim and tire ,but I was wrong,no such luck! I just had all hoses,gaskets and the bushings in the front changed.I'm in NO rush to sell her,I want to see if someone loves this car as much as I do.. Anything you need to know please ask..

Toyota Camry, Lexus RX to get aluminum parts
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Ah, aluminum. The lightweight, strong material has long held a following within the premium ranks, but as Ford prepares to launch an aluminum F-150, the material is gaining acceptance among more mainstream automakers. Toyota is one such brand, with a new report indicating that the Japanese giant will add aluminum bits and bobs to some of its upcoming vehicles.
These won't be full, aluminum-intensive treatments like the F-150, however. Automotive News reports that an aluminum hood and liftgate will be coming to the 2016 Lexus RX, and following that, the Camry will get a bonnet built from Element 13 for model year 2018.
As AN points out, Toyota is no stranger to aluminum, using it in Japanese-built models like the Prius and Scion FR-S. The RX and Camry, though, will mark the first time the company's North American factories will use the material, and they'll do so on a significantly larger scale, owing to the higher volumes that the Camry and RX represent.
Lexus eschews production in China over quality concerns
Sat, 03 May 2014One of the more popular trends in the auto industry is setting up production operations in China. Mainstream manufacturers like Ford, General Motors and Volkswagen have done it, and even luxury marques like Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have or will soon have manufacturing ops in the People's Republic.
One company that isn't building cars in China, though, is Lexus. The Toyota-owned luxury brand still manufactures all of its vehicles in Japan (aside from a few RXs, which are built at a Toyota factory in Canada). According to Tokuo Fukuichi, Lexus just isn't ready to build cars there yet.
"The German Three have a brand image that they have cultivated over the past century in their long history, but Lexus is not in people's minds like that yet," Fukuichi-san told Reuters UK.
Toyota sells 3-millionth Prius
Sun, 07 Jul 2013Three generations in sixteen years and more than three million units sold worldwide - as of the end of June, those are the stats on the Toyota Prius. Even though Toyota says Prius sales might not reach the goal of 250,000 units this year, the little hybrid that could still doesn't have any problem flying off dealer lots. The second-generation Prius sold 1.2 million examples in its eight-year lifespan, and the third generation, introduced in 2009, has sold 1.7 million examples in just four years.
Toyota is also touting its investment in future powertrains, some 790 billion yen ($7.9 billion US) on research and development into new platforms and components, and "environmental technology development."
The press release below has more details, the future undoubtedly has more Priuses Prii in it.
