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.

Jay Leno gets behind the curtain on the design of the Toyota FT-1 concept
Mon, 07 Apr 2014Hinting at the future of Toyota performance vehicles, the FT-1 concept was one of the stars of the Detroit Auto Show this year. It even nabbed fourth place in our Editors' Choice list. While he's a few months behind the car's official reveal, Jay Leno managed to get the only existing concept of the sports coupe wheeled into his garage to take a closer look, and he's pretty impressed.
Leno speaks with Alex Shen and William Chergosky, the exterior and interior chief designers of the FT-1 respectively, to get a better idea of the inspirations behind the concept. Jay heaps high praise on it for mixing Italian and Japanese design and says he likes the look even more than the Lexus LFA. The coupe isn't a product of either country, though. It was penned at Toyota's CALTY Design Research center in Newport Beach, CA.
The designers go into the entire history of the FT-1, and Shen even admits that Toyota design lacks an emotional factor at the moment. It's a fascinating interview behind some of the little touches you might miss at first glance. Unfortunately, the model doesn't have the green light for production yet and may never get made. In any case, scroll down to watch Leno swoon over the coupe.
First Toyota unintended acceleration case headed for trial
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Toyota is going to be back in the spotlight, as the first of its unintended acceleration lawsuits is headed for trial. This case covers a Los Angeles sushi shop owner, Noriko Uno. According to the what the family told The Detroit News, Uno only put about 10,000 miles on her 2006 Toyota Camry in four years. Uno was apparently afraid of high speeds, avoiding the freeway and taking a route home along LA's surface streets to avoid them.
On August 28, 2009, Uno's Camry suddenly accelerated to 100 miles per hour, eventually striking a telephone poll and a tree and killing her. The family contends that Uno attempted to step on the brakes and pull the emergency brake, neither of which brought her speed under control, while Toyota maintains that improperly installed floormats and driver error have been behind the majority of the 80 cases expected to be heard in court.
In Uno's case, The Detroit News is expecting the trial to focus on the lack of an override if the gas and brake pedals were pressed at the same time. Brake overrides were installed on Toyota's European fleet. The Uno family attorney will need to prove to the jury that it wasn't driver error that killed Noriko Uno.
Toyota to drop regular-cab Tacoma as small pickups take another hit
Fri, 02 Aug 2013Even as General Motors prepares to redesign its midsize pickups, the market for sub-fullsize trucks continues to shrink. The remaining competitors in the segment are the well-aged Nissan Frontier, Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Tacoma, and now Truck Trend is reporting that the latter will be dropping its regular cab model due to poor sales.
According to the article, the available configurations for the Tacoma lineup will be whittled down in 2015, which apparently spells the end for the two-door Taco. The Tacoma is currently the last truck in its class to be offered in a regular cab configuration, with the Frontier no longer offering a standard cab model and spy shots of the next-gen Chevrolet Colorado not revealing any glimpse of a short cab, either.
