Oh, What a Feeling, Indeed! For sale, a bright yellow 1982 Toyota Tercel babe magnet. I love this car, but my wife has become jealous of the admiring ladies that chase me all over town whenever I drive it. Also, she doesn't like that I keep it pampered in a warm garage, while our other cars are left out on the driveway, completely exposed to the elements. It is in pretty good condition, but it is 31 years old, with the little dings and scratches you'd expect on a daily driver of that age. The interior is all original, complete with the original radio with push-button presets, and factory option tape player. The rear seats are in good shape, the front seats have seat covers on them. The dash has a dash cover on it, but underneath it's actually in pretty good shape considering the age--little hairline cracks all over, but no giant gashes or anything. A/C works well. Earlier this year I had it repainted (same color--the original yellow), and it looks great. The tires are all brand new--about 200 miles on them. It is registered and driveable.
The bad--as mentioned, the carb runs pretty rich and needs to be adjusted. I had it compression tested about 3,000 miles ago, and compression is still very good. The (5 speed) transmission feels like it needs a synchro replaced. Basically, it's tough to downshift into first unless the car is at a complete stop, or until you get the hang of how to do it right. The portion of the trunk hinge that keeps the trunk open is broken. I've modified it so that it will stay open, but you must pull down the hinge with pliers in order to close it. Finally, the heater only blows lukewarm. There is no blockage anywhere, and the heater core is good--a fellow Tercel enthusiast tells me it is just a matter of adjusting the little plastic lever for the heater control under the dash. All that said, it runs well enough for regular commuting. For those of you out there who appreciate the functional simplicity of early 1980's Japanese econobox engineering (let's see, there's my two brothers . . . anyone else?), the Tercel--particularly the first generation--is a great car, extremely reliable, and surprisingly fun to drive. They are also increasingly difficult to find, especially in good, original condition like this one. Enjoy! |

Buy a Toyota GT86 and your wife will hate you
Wed, 14 Nov 2012Marketing can be a very strange business. Convincing a man or woman (or child, really) that they absolutely cannot live without the latest, greatest new bit of technology oftentimes takes a unique approach. In the "online film promoting the Toyota GT86" you'll see below, created by agency Happiness Brussels, men are reverse-psychologied into thinking a new sports coupe will make them more masculine by getting their loved ones to hate them. Or something like that. We think.
In any case, we suggest you watch the video below to see how much fun men can have with a GT86 - or Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ, presumably - at the expense of their significant others. Fair warning: There's a potential Not Safe For Work moment in the ad: beware of a brief male butt shot about 44 seconds in.
Marketing. Gotta love it. Unless you're married to a man. Or something like that. We think. Whatever, just watch.
2014 Toyota Tundra gets five grades priced from $25,920*
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Toyota has announced pricing details for its refreshed 2014 Tundra, with the fullsize pickup offered in five grades. Naturally, that doesn't include the buyer's choice of three cab styles, the option of two- or four-wheel drive, and a choice of a 4.0-liter V6 base engine or 4.6-liter and 5.7-liter V8s.
The base SR starts at $25,920, while the volume SR5 model starts at $29,465. Toyota notes that all SR5s ordered with the big V8 hold the line on pricing from 2013 while including a further $650 in standard equipment. The first of three high-end trims, Limited, starts at $36,940, while the Platinum and 1794 Edition both start at $44,270, with all prices subject to a $995 destination charge. Also noteworthy on the cost-savings front, Limited CrewMax 4x4 models are priced $2,000 less than their 2013 equivalents, (4x2 buyers save $1,900).
As is typical for a model as as customizable as a pickup, Toyota's pricing structure is far from simple. Adding the 5.7-liter V8 at one trim level can cost several hundred dollars more or less than another trim level - the same goes for adding four-wheel drive. So, rather than break out the Enigma Machine to try and decipher what options cost what on which trim, we've just rolled the whole pricing chart in. Scroll down for a look, including Toyota's full press release, and then check out our recent First Drive feature of the truck.
Sporty cars from the '80s get retro reviews from MotorWeek
Tue, Mar 10 2015The more things change, the more they stay the same. That's the feeling we're left with after watching the retro-review video above, in which MotorWeek – television's original automotive magazine, as if you didn't already know – takes a look at the 1984 Honda Prelude. A sporty coupe from Japan that lacks the outright performance and thrust of comparable American and European competitors, but makes any perceived slight up with unarguably supreme driving dynamics? That sounds sort of familiar, doesn't it? As always, we love taking a look back at the early days of MotorWeek (the more things change, they more they stay the same, remember?). And it doesn't end there. Far from it, in fact. Not only did MotorWeek bestow upon us the Prelude, Maryland's favorite public television show also unleashed retro reviews of (deep breath) the '82 Fiat X1/9, '84 Olds Cutlass, '88 Lotus Esprit Turbo, '84 Nissan 200SX Turbo, '88 Subaru XT6, '88 Toyota Celica All Trac, '84 Ford EXP Turbo, '89 Suzuki Swift GTi and '89 Mazda 323 GTX.
