Got a 85 Toyota MR2 here, its one of the nicer ones left here in MN. Its light blue, obviously. and its a 5 speed too! I saved this car from a owner who didn't know what they were doing, I've thoroughly gone through the car and fixed everything that's needed to be fixed so it is reliable again, you can thank me later. Comes with original wheels, 2 boxes of all this really rad extra stuff and every part the previous owner deemed necessary to take off, except the timing belt cover, the gnomes took that one. This car is great! It gets awesome mileage, i deliver sandwiches part time and usually get 35-40 mpg, its also one of the best handling cars I've ever owned. Also this car pulls the ladies harder than Burt Reynolds in a DeLorean with Phil Collins in the tape deck, a few guys too if that's your thing, i wont discriminate, personally not my thing though.
The engine is a 4A-GE, same as AE86 Corolla and AE111 Corolla fame. I love this engine, it falls on its face under 4500rpm because Toyota decided to make the intake ports the size of baseballs so it ruins the flow of the head at low RPM but otherwise is a stellar engine especially for being designed in 1980, and is one of the best sounding 4 cylinder engines ever (second to the Honda B16B, and Subaru EJ257). If you're wondering where you've heard 4A-GE before its because Takumi Fujiwara in Initial D has that engine in his AE86 but he has the 20V from the 90s i just got the 16v from the 80s. pfft the 1980s were cooler anyway, AND this engine you can actually find parts for at Autozone, unlike that JDM 20v Crap. Speaking of such, parts for this are cheap as hell, alternator $80, water pump $30 i love it!
The exhaust on this sucks though, get a new one. I just was in a pinch and fabbed this up with a friend in like an hour.
I'm a semi motivated seller but I'm ready to sell it if anyone wants it. If you are out of state you are responsible for shipping and there is no warranty expressed or implied.
Pros:
-Water pump, thermostat, alternator and serpentine belt all done in last 2 months
-Ignition Coil/ plugs/ Distributor cap and Rotor all done in last 3 months
-interior pretty solid
-Mechanically sound
-comes with box of extra parts
-comes with stock wheels
-New headlights, and fresh tires (literally 200 miles on them)
-Just put in a new windshield yesterday (6/8/2013)
Cons:
-small rust in front of rear quarter panel $300 extra and ill get it fixed for you
-no radio
-sway bar end link clicks if you hit a really big pothole
-the exhaust is pretty jank
-that whole being mobbed by women thing

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013
Fri, 26 Jul 2013General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.
2018 Technology of the Year Award | We chat with Lexus about the LC 500h's hybrid system
Mon, Jan 15 2018Every year, Autoblog editors test dozens and dozens of the newest vehicles available, sometimes even before they're available. From those vehicles, we select the ones we think provide the most innovative technology in the industry. Then we pare the list down to the very best, test them again, and vote on our winner for Technology of the Year. This year, Lexus's multi-stage hybrid system — as tested in the LC 500h — came out ahead of the rest of the finalists. We chose the 2018 Detroit Auto Show to hand over the award to Lexus Group Vice President and General Manager Jeff Bracken. He was kind enough to sit down with Autoblog Senior Editor Alex Kierstein and Green Editor John Snyder at the Lexus stand to talk about the hybrid system, what it does, and what it means for the future of Lexus and Toyota. Check out the video above, and follow along for all our coverage from the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, where we are taking a look at all of the new cars and technology that we'll see in the near future. Perhaps the next winner of Autoblog's Technology of the Year award is sitting somewhere on the Detroit show floor.

Next-gen Toyota Tacoma mule caught towing in the desert
Wed, 13 Aug 2014With the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon set to arrive in dealers in the near future, it's high time Toyota got to work on a replacement for the Tacoma, a vehicle whose present generation debuted in the middle of the Bush Administration. Now, we have images of that new pickup undergoing testing.
Our spy photographers picked up this heavily modified mule undergoing tow tests in the desert. It rides on a modified version of the current Taco's frame, as evidenced by shots of its undercarriage, although our spies cite the lack of riveted sections as indications that the current truck's footprint should remain unchanged.
Aside from underbody changes, this particular Tacoma featured a six-speed manual transmission, which we're expecting to be joined by a six-speed automatic. The current four- and five-speed autos found on the current truck will almost certainly be killed off. Marching to the grave with those slushboxes will be the two-door Regular Cab body style. Our spies are expecting Toyota to focus its efforts on the larger, more accessible Double Cab.
