1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo. HARDTOP! Red, 5-speed, 78K Original miles. 2nd owner. PERFECT Condition! Tan Leather Interior.

Hello,
I am selling my prized 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo. This is the hardtop the RAREST body style that the MR2 came in since most MR2's came with either a sunroof or T-Tops. (Both known to seriously leak over time.) The MR2 hardtop version is structurally stronger and lighter than the sunroof/T-top MR2's and this being the factory turbo this version is also the fastest. Car and Driver rated the Toyota MR2 as a future collectible: Car & Driver 90's Collectibles (Part 2) see article here: http://www.caranddriver.com/features/nineties-collectibles-part-two-toyota-mr2-turbo-and-ford-mustang-cobra How rare is this car? Most MR2 forums estimate that they only imported about 200 hardtops into the U.S. although no official records have been shown. The reason is that most Americans didn't want a hardcore track version of the car opting for the open air feeling of the T-top or sunroof. Out of 200 hardtops it is estimated that half were non-turbo. That drops the numbers down to about 100 officially imported Hardtop Turbos to come to the U.S. Of those 100 subtract the amount that have broken down, been Fast & Furious-ed out, wrapped around a tree, have high miles (Less than 8% of Mr2's have less than 100K miles on the Odo. That was the percentage listed by MR2 Board on 10/14/2007. After 6 years that number is probably a lot lower now.) or finally come in a weird color for a sports color like teal. This gives you an idea of just HOW RARE this particular example really is. Because of the car's rare numbers it was able to be registered as a classic through Hagerty Classic Car Insurance.

Car's History:
The car came in the U.S through a Toyota Mississippi dealership , transferred to Louisiana dealership where the original owner bought the car new off the showroom floor. He moved to Atlanta where the car stayed with him for twenty years in his garage. being used it as his weekend toy. He bought a farm in North Carolina and decided to sell the MR2. I bought the car with 72K miles on the odo, took it to Alabama where I kept it for over a year. I then moved to Atlanta where the car has been for the past year and a half. The car is still registered as an Alabama vehicle. It currently has 78K miles.

Why am I'm selling the car?... Old story. Need to sell the car for a down payment on a house. Asking 17K. If I can't get enough for a down payment. I'm keeping the car.

Honda Civic overtakes Toyota Corolla as America's best-selling compact

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

The battle to claim October's best-selling compact sedan title has been won by the Honda Civic. The Japanese four-door sold 27,328 units, leaving the Toyota Corolla - September's title holder - in its wake with 23,637 units sold. In terms of year-to-date sales, the Civic sits at 280,899 units, with the Corolla trailing at 257,184 vehicles.
Sitting in third place, separated by a significant gap from the leaders, is the Chevrolet Cruze with 16,087 units sold. The Ford Focus earned fourth, with 15,108 units moved out of showrooms. (It is interesting to note that while the Civic and Corolla have both enjoyed double-digit sales increases year-over-year, the Cruze and Focus have seen significant decreases during the same period.)
Sales of the Hyundai Elantra hit 14,876 units, putting it in fifth place, with the Volkswagen Jetta earning sixth place with 11,710 units. Rounding out the ten top sellers were the Nissan Sentra (8,399 units), Mazda3 (7,647 units), Dodge Dart (5,617 units) and Subaru Impreza/WRX (4,923 units). The Kia Forte (4,706 units) and Volkswagen Golf (2,249 units), eleventh and twelfth respectively, have fallen behind.

Toyota wants improved crash scores with midcycle facelifts

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The performances of some Toyotas in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) regimen of crash tests leave something to be desired. Consider the small overlap frontal crash test: only six Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles have undergone the new test, yet all but one of them received a poor rating. Osama Nagata, CEO of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Inc., says midcycle vehicle updates are in the works to address the safety issues brought to light by the IIHS test, Automotive News reports. He confirmed that the RAV4 is getting safety updates following its crash test performance last month, but he didn't name any other models.
All three Toyotas that were tested - 2013 RAV4, 2012-2013 Prius V, 2012-2013 Camry - received poor ratings. The 2007-2012 Lexus ES 350 and 2006-2013 IS 250/350 also received poor ratings. The only other Toyota Motor Corp. vehicle to score better than poor is the 2014 Scion TC. It received an acceptable rating in the small overlap frontal crash test and is the only recent vehicle in Toyota's line-up to get the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating.
The small overlap front crash test measures the safety of a car when its front left corner is strikes an object during an accident, bypassing traditional crumple zones, which deform in a way to protect passengers. In 2009, automakers were alerted to the forthcoming addition of the test, which was first implemented last year, IIHS spokesman Russ Rader says. They responded with differing intensity, he says, pointing out that Subaru and Honda started incorporating design changes early on so their cars would perform well in the tests.

Toyota Prius sets a different kind of Nurburgring lap record [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Scroll down the leaderboards of Nürburgring lap times and you'll see mostly racing cars, supercars and sports cars. Delve deep enough and you'll eventually get to hatchbacks and sedans, albeit the most performance-focused of their kind. But a hybrid? Sure, the Porsche 918 Spyder posted the top time for a street-legal series production car, and it's technically a hybrid, but we're talking about another kind of hybrid here. We're talking about a Toyota Prius.
That's right: the Prius just set a lap record around the Nordschleife. But it wasn't for the lap time. In fact, miles per hour barely factored in (except for staying above the minimum 37-mph average speed mandated on the vaunted racing circuit). No, this was about miles per gallon.
Toyota took one of its Prius Plug-In hybrids to the Nürburgring, topped up the battery, put on a set of low-rolling-resistance tires and put automotive journalist Joe Clifford behind the wheel with a mandate to use as little fuel as possible. After one second shy of 21 minutes, the Prius completed its lap having used just five tablespoons of fuel.
