This is my 2008 Toyota Trail Teams Special Edition, with rare 6 speed stick, 68,000 miles. and is one of the cleanest vehicles you will find. Kelley Blue Book value is $22,159 with the options this truck has and is a private party sell price - NOT a retail price. I am very particular about my cars. It still has the balance of the certified warranty on the power-train up to 100,000 miles or 7 years from date of purchase. No dings, no dents and no scratches. It's clean. Rear seat has never been sat in. Passenger seat has only been sat in a handful of times. Color is White on White, which is a rare, factory option, and only available on the Trail Teams Edition. I have always had seat covers on the front seats to protect them, so they are prefect. If you look closely in the pictures, you will see the seat covers are still on the car, so it's the cover you see that is worn and NOT the seat itself. I have driven this vehicle since it was purchased certified pre-owned form Toyota with upper twenty something thousand miles as a daily driver. I waited for the longest time to find one of these, because it comes with all of the options Toyota offered in the FJ in 2008. All factory options and NONE are aftermarket: Built in Boom Box, Trail Teams Badges, Roof Rack, Manual Transmission, Arctic White on White Paint, TRD(Toyota Racing Division) Black Out Wheels, Off Road Tires, Rock Bars, Off Road Head Lights, Rear Diff. Lock, All Time All-Wheel Drive, Air Conditioning, Parking Sensors, AM/FM/CD, Compass on dash with Camber/Piths Gauges, Anti-Slip Traction Control, Outdoor Temp, 4X4 Low Range, Skid Plates on Both Front and Rear of the Vehicle, Tow Package, Rubber Winter Mats including in the back cargo area, in-dash 6 Disk CD Player, Auxiliary input for iPod or other, 6 speed standard transmission and more. The truck is immaculate and has never been modified or been off road. Never has been in an accident. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to see it. I am ONLY selling to buy a new pickup truck as I need something larger for work. Doubt you will find a cleaner truck. If you know anything about the Toyota FJ, Trail Teams Package, they are very and are sought after. There was only one per dealership allowed, they are extremely hard to come by, and bring a premium when you find one. I think I am asking a fair price as what I have found others have been selling for much more. Take a look on eBay and they are looking for quite a bit more than my asking price.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Toyota, Mercedes, BMW top automakers included in List of Best Global Brands

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Interbrand, a consultancy firm, has published its 13th annual list of the best global brands. Besides seeing some shakeups at the top - Apple and Google unseated Coca-Cola (a company that has dominated the survey since its birth), the 100-item list features 14 automakers, most of which enjoyed double-digit gains in brand value.
Toyota managed to retain its spot as the study's top automaker. It finished the survey in 10th position overall (the same as last year), despite a 17-percent improvement in its brand value, from $29.33 billion to $35.34 billion. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Honda all made the top 20, at 11th, 12th and 20th place, respectively. Hopping a ways down the list, we come across Volkswagen in 34th place, up from 39th in last year's study, with a brand value of $11.12 billion, a 20-percent improvement over 2012. Ford and Hyundai round out the automakers in the top 50, at 42 and 43.
Porsche made the largest year-over-year gain of any automaker, with its brand value increasing 26 percent to $6.47 billion. Chevrolet meanwhile, cracks the list for the very first time at 89th place. As Interbrand notes, Chevy's inclusion is notable because of the sheer number of vehicles it moves for General Motors and its recent push in developing markets. The final interesting note on this survey is the position of an automaker that takes its name and logo more seriously than perhaps any other - Ferrari. The Italian exotic manufacturer finished 98th out of 100, with just $4.01 billion in brand value, a six-percent improvement over 2012.

2015 Toyota Camry targeting 'more emotional' design

Sun, 19 Jan 2014

There are many ways to describe the Toyota Camry: "comfortable," "economical," "affordable," "reliable" and "dull as a bucket of mayonnaise" would all be accurate. It's this last one that the Japanese brand is seeking to change. While we aren't expecting it to suddenly sprout a high-revving V8, a rear-drive layout or razor-sharp handling, a report from Bloomberg suggests we should at least expect a more evocative design from one of the best-selling cars in the country.
The next Camry update, due for 2015, should have a "more emotional, more impactful design," says Kevin Hunter, head of Toyota's US design studio. That's according to Bloomberg, who caught up with the styling boss at this week's Detroit Auto Show. "Camry's taken some hits on styling, but it's still selling well. But we need to create better design for Camry in the future."
