Rare, completely original 1992 Toyota Supra MKIII, with turbo, automatic transmission, 92,000 miles, leather, and removable roof panel. This car has all options. The last year of this body style, the ’92 is the most sophisticated design and best of its run (according to car magazine reviews of the day). Teal blue paint is original and in excellent shape considering its 22 years in the So Cal sunshine. There is a barely noticeable ding or two in the door panel from a car door opening into it in a parking lot. And a barely noticeable abrasion mark about 6 inches long on the right front bumper that can probably be buffed out. The paint is also beginning to show signs of oxidation here and there in the clear-coat (that can also probably be buffed out). The oxidation can be seen mainly on the roof panel and rear bumper/spoiler area. The black trim around the rear lift-back glass and black paint on wiper arms shows some sun damage (see pics). Interior is very good (dash is perfect, no splits) but passenger seat (now covered) recently developed a crack and split open in the seat area. The previous owner shortened the driver floor mat, it apparently curled up and interfered with pedals but hasn’t while I’ve owned it. The rest of the interior is new car clean and all the controls/gadgets work as they should. The retractable cargo cover works and is in good shape except for some cosmetic peeling of the pigmented coating that covers a non-moving part of it. The factory CD/Tape/radio is installed (has never been out as far as I know) and everything associated with it works except the CD play head is slightly out of alignment causing one stereo channel to playback quietly relative to the other. The antenna raises and lowers as it should. The engine runs great and transmission shifts smoothly (many do not, I've heard). This car has been adult owned and driven, and has received regular maintenance since new. I have maintenance records back to year 2000. All maintenance was performed by the dealer that sold the car new until 2008 (Toyota of Cerritos, CA). All the maintenance I’ve done since then has been by either a local San Diego Toyota dealership or a long-time trusted mechanic who owns an established local repair shop. All rubber hoses and tubing replaced in 2010. Battery is about a year old. New tires around 10k miles ago. This car is reliable and tight. No rattles at all. No leaks. Drives and sounds like a new car but better because you seldom see another one on the road and it gets more compliments than any new car I’ve ever owned. I found this car in a small dealership near Los Angeles in 2008 after the original owner traded it in on a new Toyota from the dealer that sold him the Supra in 1992 (mileage was about 72,000). The dealer wholesaled it to Ray’s auto where I found it. I contacted the original owner and he told me the car’s history. The dealership that originally sold the car gave me a computer printout of the maintenance performed but their history only went back to year 2000.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota Prius, V earn IIHS awards, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV approved for V2H

Tue, Dec 30 2014

The Toyota Prius and Prius V have earned IIHS 2015 Top Safety Pick+ ratings. The Prius V was singled out for its improved performance in the small overlap crash test. Lexus CT models built after September 2014 were also given the distinguished safety rating. In all, eight vehicles from Toyota and Lexus earned Top Safety Pick+ awards, while four more from Toyota and Scion were named Top Safety Picks. Read more in the press release below. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV can now provide power to the home in Japan. The vehicle-to-home capability requires the CHAdeMO quick charging socket and either Mitsubishi's own Smart V2H system, or the EVPower Station or Tsubaki eLINK system. The Outlander PHEV gained vehicle-to-home approval alongside all-electric vehicles because its electric motor doesn't run when used in for this purpose. The system allows owners to power their homes during outages and emergencies, and the Outlander PHEV can also directly power appliances with its 1500W AC100V power feeder. Read more at Green Car Congress. The Electric Vehicle Institute has published an updated "Plug-In Around the EV World" poster. The poster depicts the various connector types used by EVs. It shows the standard AC connectors for the US and Europe, DC and combination connectors for fast charging and, of course, Tesla's own charging connector for the Model S. It also shows the standard plug types used around the world, which are color coded by country on a world map. See the Electric Vehicle Institute's poster here, or read more at Green Car Reports. Toyota Decks the Halls with IIHS 2015 'Top Safety Pick' Awards Eight Toyota and Lexus Models Earn Institute's Highest Top Safety Pick+ Four Toyota and Scion Vehicles Named Top Safety Picks December 23, 2014 TORRANCE, Calif., Dec. 23, 2014 - On the 12th day of Christmas, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave to Toyota, 12 awards awarding.

IIHS in particular recognized the Prius V for its significantly improved performance all-around in the small overlap crash test – naming it a Top Safety Pick+. The Toyota Sienna was also the only minivan awarded the 2015 Top Safety Pick + designation. IIHS also recognized four additional Toyota and Scion vehicles as 2015 Top Safety Picks.

Toyota inks deal as global Olympic sponsor

Sat, Mar 14 2015

Toyota has just scored a sponsorship with one of the biggest events on the planet – the Olympic Games. The company announced its position as a member of the TOP (The Olympic Partner) program, which takes effect in Japan next year and globally in 2017. The deal is slated to run through 2024. That means, if we're understanding the deal correctly, that we won't see as much official Toyota sponsorship at next year's Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, while the company will enjoy a much more visible presence among American consumers at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Unsurprisingly, the automotive giant's sponsorship will be in the mobility category, covering "vehicles, mobility services and mobile solutions," the company's press release said. Fuel cells are expected to play a big role. "We will do everything possible to fulfill our new role in The Olympic Partner program, and justify the trust the IOC has placed in us. The addition of a mobility category to the TOP Partner field is an important recognition for our entire industry," Toyota president Akio Toyoda said in a statement. "Under this Olympic flag, let us today reaffirm the power of sports to bring people together. And let us dedicate ourselves to creating a better world by promoting sports in the Olympic spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play." "The IOC welcomes Toyota as a key partner for the provision of sustainable mobility solutions for the Olympic Games as outlined in Olympic Agenda 2020, our strategic roadmap for the future of the Olympic Movement," International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said. "Toyota is the world leader in its field, and this partnership signifies a strong commitment to the future of the IOC and the Olympic Movement. This is a milestone agreement in the implementation of Olympic Agenda 2020 because the focus of our cooperation is sustainable mobility, and Toyota will provide sustainable solutions for the entire Olympic Movement." Check out the official press release. Toyota Becomes IOC TOP Partner Tokyo, Japan, March 13, 2015-Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) today announced it has entered into a sponsorship agreement with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to become part of The Olympic Partner (TOP) program. The agreement runs through to the end of 2024 in the mobility category, which includes vehicles, mobility services and mobility solutions.

Toyota prices fuel cell sedan $70K in Japan, coming to US and Europe next summer [w/video]

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Toyota has finally unveiled its FCV hydrogen fuel cell sedan and its Japanese price. We won't have to wait too long to see the first of these revolutionary vehicles on the roads. It will go on sale in Japan in April 2015 and will come to the US and Europe later that summer.
In Japan, the FCV will be priced at roughly 7 million yen before taxes ($68,810 at current exchange rates). However, Toyota makes it clear in the press release that we shouldn't try to extrapolate US MSRP from that figure, saying that official pricing for the US and Europe has not yet been determined. As will be the case in the US, sales in Japan will be limited to parts of the country that already have a hydrogen refueling infrastructure (that means you, California).
The production version of the FCV looks almost identical to the concept from last year's Tokyo Motor Show. There is a new vertical strip of LEDs at each corner of the front air intake and real sideview windows, instead of the nubs on the prototype. The weird squiggles from the rear trim are also gone in favor of a more production-ready look, but the taillights survive the changes mostly intact.
