1987 Toyota Mr2 T-bar, Manual 2-seater Sports Car on 2040-cars
Palo Alto, California, United States
For sale: a 1987 Toyota MR2 T-bar, manual 2-seater sports car. Mileage: 88,xxx. Location: Palo Alto, CA. Condition: very good. The car is in great working order - it has a few small cosmetic defects, but it runs beautifully, and just passed it’s CA smog test. It’s a fun, sporty car to drive - it clings to the road like a limpet. Gets good gas mileage (EPA-rated as 26 city/32 highway). I’ve owned this since it was new, and it’s served me well, but I’m buying a new convertible, so sadly I need to let it go. Clean title; one non-smoking owner. VIN JT2AW15J4H01200754. Classic first-generation MR2 model AW11. EXTERIOR - Original “super white” paint in great condition except for some small dents in the back left panel resulting from an interaction with a hedge. - Original rear spoiler and T-bar roof (including storage bags). - No sign of rust. No collisions/accidents - apart from that hedge. - Original spare tire, that has never been used. - Power windows, door locks, mirrors. - Aluminum alloy wheels. INTERIOR - Original blue cloth interior with “performance interior package” and floor mats. Still in great condition. - New Toyota shift boot and trim. - New Sony CD/radio. - There’s a couple of places where sunlight caused the plastic to get brittle, and suffer some cosmetic damage: (1) the cover for the mechanisms in the T-bar tops; (2) two small slits on the dash; (3) the surround or the rightmost dash air vent. None impair functionality. - Steering wheel has a leather cover added; the original underneath is a little rough. - Cruise control. - A/C and heater work great. ENGINE - Stock original engine: 4cyl 1.6L 16 valve dual overhead twin cam; not turbo-charged. - 5 speed manual engine No check engine lights! Its a healthy engine with no issues. - Newish battery; recently-replaced brake master cylinder. - Regular maintenance and service carried out as per Toyota guidelines. I have all the maintenance records if you want them. EXTRAS (all included) - a custom fitted car cover - Toyota maintenance and electrical manuals - tire chains (almost never used). More pictures here: https://plus.google.com/photos/+johnwilkes/albums/6027949246034688353 I found several MR2s listed for about $6000, so I’m looking for $5400 obo.

Toyota GT86 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table
Fri, 02 May 2014Okay 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.
Next-gen Toyota Prius spied inside and out
Fri, 24 May 2013Toyota has built itself into the industry's standard-bearer when it comes to hybrids, and it isn't going to let the poster child for gas-electric vehicles get stale on the market. These spy shots captured in California are our first good look at the next-generation Prius, which could come to market wearing a 2015 model year designation.
Even though it looks like Toyota may have blown its annual camouflage budget on this mule, we can clearly see that it will have the same iconic half-moon design that has been with the car since 2003. If so, this goes against reports from last year that suggested the car would be getting a different look inspired by the 2013 NS4 Concept. Although, this could also indicate that the Prius family will continue to grow - adding a new sedan - to the existing Prius C, Prius V and Prius Plug-In lineup.
These spy shots also give us an indication as to what the interior will look like, with a more stylish three-spoke steering wheel and an instrument panel design that sort of reminds us of a BMW. On the other hand, all the tape, cobbled together pieces and lack of space for a center stack display screen has us thinking this isn't what the final product will resemble.
2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser Ultimate Edition
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Introduced at the end of 2006, this is the last year for the Toyota FJ Cruiser, the reincarnated FJ40-series Land Cruiser that will shortly journey to Takama-ga-hara, the Plain of High Heaven. In its first model year, we drove it to SEMA and found it, shall we say, coarse. It bobbled on the freeway and droned in the cabin, its boxy interior providing four bounce-boards for unpleasant frequencies. Tall mirrors helped one work around the eclipse of vision aft of the B-pillars, but navigating traffic required forethought and technique. Its turning circle was measured in kilometers. For the first two years of its life, it needed premium gas. It may have been fun to look at, but we couldn't wait to get out of it.
That's not the case anymore, and now the FJ Cruiser is poised to join a long list of vehicles that got better and better, then got axed.
