Here is a rare and collectible 1992 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa with 110,200 miles, extremely low for a 21 year old car. The 92 Supra is by far the rarest MK3 Supra as only a little over 1000 were sold in the US. The 92 was the ONLY year the color Teal was offered and the ONLY year which the shadow gray leather seats were offered. It is also rare to find a 92 with Targa top as most 92s had either hard top or a sunroof. This car is almost completely stock, even the factory radio and factory exhaust which is very quiet.
I have only owned this about 6 months, bought it with the intentions of keeping it, but poor health has made me lose interest. In the 6 months I have owned it , I have only driven it a total of about 100 miles. I would STRONGLY suggest it be trailered or shipped as it has not been driven on long enough trips to be proven.
It has some positives and some negatives. As for positives, the previous owner spent almost $6000 on repairs and I will furnish his paperwork. These repairs include a rebuilt head, rebuilt turbo, new head gasket, and some front end work, all in the last 1500 miles. The engine sounds great, very smooth, no smoke , no knocks. The automatic transmission shifts properly and I noticed the cruise works. I believe all lights work and all glass is good, no cracks. The paint appears to be original with only some light touch ups on small dings. The trim around the windshield and rear glass is much better than most MK3 Supras. The interior is the best of the shadow gray leather I have seen. ( I have owned and parted out MK3 Supras for several years) The dash is mint, steering wheel is good, door panels are good, rear carpet is good, hatch cover is very good, rear seats are amazing, first original leather Supra rear seats I have seen which are not cracked on top. The tail lights have no cracks, as this is hard to find. It also has a new battery.
For the negatives, there is a sound ,a sort of rubbing / grinding sound, I believe is in the right front wheel, could be in the wheel itself, could be a wheel bearing, or it could simply need aligned, I don't know, and I have not felt like messing with it. The brakes seem soft and may need some attention. The heater works fine, but the Air Conditioning does not, all components appear to be there, it may just need charged. This is a 21 year old car and it has its share of parking lot dings and scratches. There is also a dent on the passenger rear quarter as can be seen in pics and the rear bumper and rear spoiler each have a bump. I noticed one spot on the drivers door where there is some rust bubbling. This car will come with a full size spare of the same 5 spoke 92 aluminum wheel, the original targa tool kit, the original 92 Supra owners manual in the original pouch from the dealer where it was bought new. I will assist in shipping by taking it to a shipping transfer point for a nominal fee. I will accept deposit by Pay Pal ONLY, the remainder will have to be in cash or a certified check if it is to be shipped . This is a very low reserve auction , please bid to win. I can take pictures of any other areas you may want to see if you ask for them. If you have less than a feedback of 10 please email me and convince me you are real and serious or your bid will be canceled. Thanks for looking.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
Toyota Auris gets new Touring Sports variant
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Toyota showed off the Touring Sports version of the Auris next to the newly introduced Auris Hybrid at last year's Paris Motor Show, but didn't say much about it. Six months later, just ahead of the Geneva Motor Show, the company is crowing about that wagon going on sale with the Hybrid Synergy Drive, creating the Auris Touring Sports Hybrid.
The hauling version of the exceptionally popular Auris hatchback doesn't just add a hybrid wagon to the compact segment, Toyota says it offers class-leading load capacity of 1,658 liters with the Easy-Flat one-touch rear seats down. With the rear seats up, it offers 530 liters. The little big gulp is possible because the hybrid batteries have been placed under the rear seats instead of being in the luggage area.
It looks the same as the hatchback save for the fact that it's 285 millimeters (11.2 inches) longer behind the C pillar, has a redesigned tailgate and a lower load floor. Engines beyond the hybrid will match the rest of the lineup: 1.3-liter and 1.6-liter gasoline engines and a 1.4-liter D-4D diesel. There's a chance we'll see it in Geneva, if we don't there's a press release below to tell you all about it.
Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86
Wed, 26 Jun 2013On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
