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.

Toyota takes aim at Musk's criticism of hydrogen 'fool cells'
Tue, Jan 27 2015Tesla's Elon Musk has called hydrogen fuel cell cars "a load of rubbish" and "fool cells," and he's nowhere near alone in his disdain for the technology. Toyota has been fighting back waves of condescension for years now, and did so again when Senior VP Bob Carter took the stage at the recent J.D. Power Automotive Summit this month. His target was comments that Musk made at the Automotive News World Congress at the Detroit Auto Show, when Musk said an FCEV was an "extremely silly way" to store energy, that "the best-case hydrogen fuel cell doesn't win against the current-case battery" and that hydrogen's failings will become obvious in the next few years. Carter's response was that the fuel cell initiative isn't about the next few years. "This is not a 24-to-36-month play, but when you start looking into the 2020s," then you can see the necessity of hydrogen fuel cells, which Toyota considers an extension of EV technology, he said. The Toyota Mirai will begin its defense of the FCEV industry in the US later this year. The Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell is already available in California and Honda's hydrogen car will arrive in 2016. Until then, we can let some more of Carter's words ring in our ears: "If I was in a position where I had all my eggs in one basket," he said of Musk's BEV-only focus, "I would perhaps be making those same comments."

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover
Wed, Jul 25 2018Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).
