YOU WILL GET TONS OF ATTENTION IN THIS CAR! Every red light in NYC someone's giving me the thumbs-up or telling me about the one they used to have.
For sale this 1983 Corolla wagon with the original 1.6 (gets tremendous gas mileage) and the automatic trans. This car is currently insured, registered, and inspected in New York with a clear title in my name. This is my daily driver; she gets parked on the streets of Manhattan at night and Brooklyn during the day. LOTS new on this ride done by a trusted legit mechanic, much of it with warranties.
New; entire brake system including front calipers and rotors, rear drums and wheel cylinders, plus e-brake & cable. Stops on a dime with no pulling.
New; entire front suspension including control arms, tie rods, bushings, shocks. New rear shocks as well.
New; entire power steering system including a brand new steering rack and new pump.
New water pump & thermostat.
New timing belt just replaced.
-Fog lights re-hooked up (they go on with the headlights automatically and look great).
Has an aftermarket GT steering wheel; the horn works great but works from a button on the dash.
The previous owner said the trans was rebuilt but I have no proof except that it shifts & downshifts perfectly. 

As I said I drive this beast every day and it gets unbelievable MPG. Full older custom exhaust was just checked out by an exhaust shop who declared that it is tight throughout.

*The car is rusty with some holes; that yellow paint was sprayed right over the rust and it's bubbling in the back.
*Driver's seat is loose on one side due to a recently broken mount or something. I drive with the back seat folded forward which props it up.
*Radio does not work
*A/C looks complete but doesn't blow cold
*Dashboard is beat all to hell with huge cracks all over it. 
*Speedometer doesn't work and stopped at 163,000! (all other gauges work) I've had the car since springtime and have taken it to Boston, Providence, and New Paltz so I'm sure it's way up there. I got the feeling that before I got the car it hadn't been driven much in years.
*Carb probably needs to be replaced as it runs rich. I don't really care since I usually go like 10 miles a day, but some days it smokes and really ought to be done. 
*Small oil leak that also smokes occasionally, and when it does it's smoky.

Toyota aims to build autonomous car around 2020 [w/videos]

Tue, Oct 6 2015

The race is on to get increasingly sophisticated forms of autonomous driving technology on the road, and brands like Tesla are bringing these solutions to some drivers now. But as one of the world's largest automakers, it's no surprise to see Toyota competing in the field, as well. By 2020, the company thinks a person could be largely unnecessary for freeway trips. With a suite of tech called the Highway Teammate, a modified Lexus GS is already showing what's possible. Using a combination of millimeter wave radar, LIDAR, and cameras, the GS gets a full view of the road, and software processes all of the info to make decisions. The result is a ride on the freeway without human interaction. The system can merge, change lanes, make passes, take curves, and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. Accurate map data is a necessity to make this work, so the system currently only being tested on Tokyo's Shuto Expressway. While Highway Teammate might not be the best name, it accurately communicates the way Toyota thinks of the tech. The company is making big investments in artificial intelligence to assist drivers, not completely replace them. You can see the system in action in the video below, and the second clip's gravely serious narrator explains the company's idea of having a fully connected road someday.

New Toyota Test Vehicle Paves the Way for Commercialization of Automated Highway Driving Technologies Toyota City, Japan, October 6, 2015-Toyota has been testing a new automated driving test vehicle called Highway Teammate, with the aim of launching related products by around 2020. In addition to demonstrating the capabilities of next-generation safety technologies, the vehicle represents Toyota's view of the evolving driver-car relationship in the age of artificial intelligence. Toyota believes that interactions between drivers and cars should mirror those between close friends who share a common purpose, sometimes watching over each other and sometimes helping each other out. Toyota refers to this approach as the Mobility Teammate Concept, and Highway Teammate represents an important first effort to give form to this concept.

Toyota updates Euro-market GT86 suspension, appearance

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

While we were busy ogling the Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0 with its Yuzu yellow paint and a workover by Toyota Racing Development, and the Japanese Toyota 86 buyers were trying out their Playstation-compatible Sports Drive Logger telemetry system, the European 2015 Toyota GT86 got fitted with some new parts of its own. New on next year's model are stiffer mounts for the front suspension and rear shock absorbers, and new shocks in the back for better damping and less friction. Toyota says the result is sharper steering and less body roll.
Inside, the instrument panel and center console get decorated with a "carbon-fiber motif." There are new shades of pearl white and silver to dress up the outside, and the roof gets a shark-fin antenna for sharper looks and aero. It goes on sale this summer, and you can read everything we just told you in the press release below. We've reached out to Scion to see if we'll get the same upgrades on the FR-S this summer, too, company PR rep Nancy Hubbell telling us, "The European changes are among those being considered for the US model FR-S and we'll have final confirmation soon."

BMW, Toyota outline new tech joint venture, new sports car

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

Back in June, Toyota and BMW announced a "memorandum of understanding" outlining plans for the two companies to join forces on future products and technology development. On Thursday, they signed a more formal and binding agreement that goes further into detail about the partnership, and it all sounds pretty exciting. The two announced they will work together in four main areas:
Joint development of a fuel cell system
"Set up a feasibility study to define a joint platform concept for a mid-size sports vehicle"
