Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series on 2040-cars
Chagrin Falls, Ohio, United States
For sale is a 200 Series Toyota Land Cruiser with all the bells & whistles. There is a reason why these trucks are the preferred vehicle for NATO forces worldwide. At 99,000 miles, it still looks, drives, and feels like a new vehicle. There is not a single squeak or rattle. I purchased this car from my father and hoped to have it for many, many years, but unfortunately it's about 1/2" taller than the frame of the garage door of the house I recently moved to. (Curb height is 74", FYI)
Land Cruisers are legendary because they are the perfect balance of power, comfort, and reliability. My wife describes this truck as "being able to go anywhere you want in your most comfortable piece of living room furniture." Land Cruiser owners tend to become very loyal. If you've driven one, then you understand why, and if you haven't, you owe it to yourself. This is my third Land Cruiser. I used to joke that my 1985 FJ60 would get me anywhere I wanted to go, just not very quickly. This 200 Series will get you anywhere you want to go, and it will get you there as quickly as you want. The 5.7L V8 is a beast. The front and rear brakes have all been serviced in 2013. I've had only one issue since I've owned this truck - a bad wheel bearing - and Toyota paid for 100% of the repair, even though it was outside of the warranty period. In fact, while the wheel bearing was being replaced, I also had the rear brakes serviced and an oil change, and Toyota picked up the tab for that too along with my rental car for no reason other than to make a customer happy. You will not find that kind of service with ANY other car company. You can read more about this truck here: http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/30/2011-toyota-land-cruiser-review/ |

2013 Toyota RAV4
Tue, 16 Apr 2013A Nicer View Than Ever Of Middle Of The Road
When we had our first shot behind the wheel of the 2013 Toyota RAV4, the overall judgment from Managing Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski could be summed up in a sentence along the lines of, "Eh, not bad." The truth is that the compact crossover segment, now filled with not-so-compact offerings, is as cutthroat as any in the industry these days. When a heavyweight player like the RAV4 comes to market with a new generation, it is not at liberty to start from a clean sheet, lest it throw cold water on a vehicle that sells tens of thousands of units globally every month. Like De La Soul says, "Stakes is high."
If the choices in the marketplace were still largely limited to the Honda CR-V, as was the case when this market niche was green, the Toyota offering might actually seem like the exciting choice. But with new players offering better dynamic thrills (Mazda CX-5), cool turbo motors and fancy technology (Ford Escape), or even crunchy cred (Subaru Forester), the small crossover shopper is really spoiled for choice in 2013.
Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
