For Sale is a Rare 1976 Toyota BJ40 Land Cruiser. This Land Cruiser was originally from Costa Rica. It began as a very straight and solid rust free BJ then a large amount of money was invested to restore/slightly modify at the hands of a professional. Aside from the obvious like the beautiful paint and rust free undercarriage it has other desired options such as:

3B Toyota Engine

Garrett Turbo

Intercooler

Factory PTO Winch

Disc Brakes

Power Steering

80 Series Land Cruiser style running gear (axles, coil suspension, etc.) Provides for a much smoother ride and suspension travel, great off road capability if desired.

The dash and all components is complete and in working order

33 inch tires with about 65% tread on the front and about 55% on the rear

Since its arrival in the US it has been a major head turner. It is a blast to drive and will comfortably cruise at highway speeds as far as you want to go. The Garrett Turbo adds to the already impressive 3B Diesel engine and is truly an added bonus. This is a well taken care of beautiful rare classic with great off road potential. As you can tell, it has not been used in that way. I have all the required paperwork for it to be registered in the US and as the buyer, you will be the first registered owner in the United States. This is your chance to own the most desired 4X4 ever made coated in its original iconic red and the ultimate in Land Cruisers, the Diesel engine. Please don't hesitate with any questions and feel free to contact me at any time.

As a courtesy due to interest outside of Ebay, it should be noted that the Land Cruiser is listed locally and I reserve the right to end the Auction at any time. Also, brand new Glow Plugs were installed a few days ago just in time for the cooler months. Again, this BJ starts every time, runs and shifts great. The four wheel drive engages and works as it should with no problems. It is rare to find a diesel Cruiser that is this solid. The frame and body are near perfect with absolutely no rust or bondo in the typical problematic areas on these old Toyotas. The previous owner had extensive restoration work completed from the frame up by a very reputable shop/mechanic. Other Cruisers of this quality bring a premium, not to mention it is a rare factory 3B with a Turbo. Buying a truck like this is a great investment in today's market. I will send any requested photos that I may have missed. Good Luck

2020 Toyota Yaris hatchback is basically the Mazda2 hatchback

Mon, Apr 1 2019

The Toyota Yaris line in the U.S. has been really weird, what with the hatchback coming from Toyota, and the sedan coming from Mazda a rebadged Mazda2. For 2020, the Toyota Yaris line is still weird, but at least its consistent as the hatchback is also a rebadged Mazda2. And as far as styling is concerned, that's all there is to say. The front bumper is the the same angry catfish face as the Yaris sedan, and everything rearward comes from the Mazda2 that's available overseas and in Puerto Rico. The interior is the same as the Mazda2, and very similar to the Mazda CX-3. The switch to the Mazda platform has added 0.3 cubic-feet to the cargo space over the old Toyota version. Under the hood is the familiar 1.5-liter inline-four making 106 horsepower. Disappointingly, the only transmission available will be a six-speed automatic, whereas the current sedan is available with a six-speed manual transmission. But having six speeds is a massive improvement over the outgoing Yaris's ancient four-speed automatic. Fuel economy hasn't been announced, but expect it to get close to the Toyota Yaris sedan's 32 mpg in the city and 40 on the highway. This will be another improvement over the old Yaris hatch's 30 mpg in the city and 35 on the highway. Unlike the sedan, the new Yaris hatch will only be offered in LE and XLE trims, leaving out the base-level L. Every version of the car gets alloy wheels, heated side mirrors, fog lights, keyless entry with push-button start, automatic emergency braking and an infotainment system with seven-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Moving up to XLE adds leatherette upholstery, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, automatic climate control and automatic LED headlights. Pricing and availability haven't been announced, but it will likely go on sale later this year with a starting price around $17,000 like the Yaris LE sedan.

Toyota maintains world's largest automaker crown, GM and VW close behind

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

Toyota still holds the title of World's Largest Automaker. The Japanese automaker ceded the claim to General Motors in 2011 following a series of natural and man-made disasters that stifled production in Asia. Production is back up to full speed and, coupled with the introduction of a new Camry midsize sedan, Toyota retook the title in 2012 and has so far been able to keep it by selling 2.43 million vehicles in the first quarter of 2013.
The race is still tight - General Motors reports sales of 2.36 million vehicles, earning it the second spot globally with Volkswagen's 2.27 million sales nabbing the German automaker third place. It's not all smooth sailing for Toyota, either, as the brand's first-quarter figures were down 2.2 percent when compared to last year. GM posted a 3.6-percent gain and VW managed a 5.1-percent gain over the same period.
Sales in China may be a deciding factor as to which automaker performs best in 2013. Toyota's figures were down 13 percent in China. Meanwhile, GM and VW are continuing their upward trajectories in the crucial Chinese market.

2014 Toyota Corolla to bow before LA

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

We've sort of been wondering when Toyota would finally debut the next-generation Corolla sedan, especially since the current car is getting very, very long in the tooth. We got a glimpse of the new compact's design at this year's Detroit Auto Show in the form of the Furia concept seen above, but we figured we'd see the production car by now.
According to Edmunds, Toyota will be unveiling the new Corolla sometime soon, and it won't wait until the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. Officials from the Japanese automaker did not state a specific location or date for the new car's unveiling, but said that the 2014 Corolla is expected to be on sale before the LA expo later this year and that it will be revealed "somewhere in the US."
Toyota did not divulge any details about the new Corolla, and we're willing to bet that the aggressive lines of the Furia concept will be dulled down quite a bit for the production model. Still, news that the new car is coming sooner rather than later is indeed a good thing.
