Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, United States

 2008 Toyota Corolla LE
-80K highway miles
-5spd
-43mpg hwy (larger 16" rims and high profile tires make for a taller final drive ratio)
-New front tires w/ less than 3,000 miles on them
-16" 5 spoke alloy rims (rims were purchased used and do show chipping on the back side of them, look closely in the pictures and you can see)
-Pioneer CD player and all four speakers (aftermarket speakers as well) professionally installed at Audio Illusions in Fall 2013-sound incredible
-JDM front strut tower brace
-Genuine Toyota OEM all-weather rubber floor mats (an absolute must)
-Viper Alarm system (speaker was removed when front strut tower brace was installed, but I still have the speaker and vibrating function on key fob still works as an anti-theft notification)

This is a very clean and meticulously maintained Corolla. The car was garage kept and oil was changed every RELIGIOUSLY every 3,000 miles. I pride myself on being a gentle driver, and that is how I was able to maintain 43 mpg consistently over the course of my commute to work.  There isn't an mpg counter on the car, this is hand-calculated using the trip/gallons pumped when I fill up.  Furthermore, the actual mpg is even higher because of the over-sized rims and tires on the car.  The speedo is off a couple mph as a result (confirmed with my gps).  I am the second owner, and you will not find a better looking Corolla out there. This car is mechanically bone stock.  No engine mods, etc. The previous owner had a Viper alarm installed which is still functional. It runs perfectly. No mechanical issues whatsoever, clutch is very tight. It does have two paint blemishes (see pics).  EVERYTHING works as it should.  (Of note, the TPMS were not transferred to the new wheels, so the car's computer shows the TPMS light as a result.)  This car is worth every penny, I am very confident of that.  You WILL NOT be disappointed.  Let me know if you need specific pictures of a concern you may have.  I was somewhat limited the day I took the pictures because I still had some stuff in the trunk.  Some buyers like to see pictures of every possible angle, and I understand that.  For those wondering about the trunk, there are no issues.  It is clean, no stains.  I have sold five of my vehicles on eBay and have excellent feedback.  If there is something you are curious about, please don't hesitate to ask me for more info.

TMG's super Lexus LS Sports 650 gets track tested

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

The people at Toyota Motorsport GmbH have been responsible for the Japanese automaker's motorsports efforts since the 1970s, but since Toyota pulled out of Formula One after the 2009 season, the tuning shop has been developing a super sedan based on the Lexus LS called the Sports 650. Details on TMG's first road car have been scarce, but XCAR was recently invited to drive the 641-horsepower Lexus on track.
Here's what we know: the Sports 650 has enough power to sprint to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, tops out at 199 mph, weighs over two tons and utilizes LFA brakes. Oh, and its twin-turbo V8 bellows like an AMG V8. That last part isn't surprising when considering TMG could become Toyota's in-house tuning arm - like AMG is to Mercedes-Benz. As for the bespoke body kit, fender flares and stacked exhaust pipes? They fit the car well and even remind us a bit of Lexus' other high-performance sedan, the IS F. Currently there are no plans for the Sports 650 to be made into a production car, but we doubt TMG is devoting this much effort developing the LS into a road-rocket for nothing.
Check out XCAR's video below to see the AMG-fighter wrung out on track, and then ponder what could be if TMG were let loose to fiddle with other cars in Lexus' lineup. Now that's something we could get used to!

Toyota recalling 1.9M Prius models globally for software update

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

Toyota has announced a set of voluntary recalls covering 960,000 Prius, RAV4, Tacoma and Lexus RX350 models in the United States to address two separate issues. Worldwide, Toyota will have to recall a total of 1.9 million Prius cars.
The Prius recall affects about 700,000 2010-2014 models in the US, due to a fault in the motor/generator control ECU and hybrid control ECU software. It says that the current software could result in high temperatures on certain transistors and possibly damage them. When it fails, the error forces the car into failsafe mode. Toyota says that in rare circumstances, it could even shut the hybrid system down while the car is being driven.
Toyota spokeswoman Shino Yamada told Automotive News that the software update should take about 40 minutes, and dealers would start to be notified about affected vehicles today. She also told them that the first reported glitch occurred in May 2011 in the US when the system overheated and the car entered failsafe mode. The affected cars were built between March 2009 and Feb. 5, 2014, according to Automotive News. Toyota says that it has received no reports of accidents or injuries caused by either fault.

2014 Toyota Highlander

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Midsize crossovers like the Toyota Highlander tend to play a thankless role in the life of today's modern family.
That's really too bad. With the ability to hold several hyperactive kids and tons of cargo while keeping everyone safe and comfortable in all kinds of climate conditions day in and day out, they're true heroes in the lives of hundreds of thousands of families across the country. Yet their car-apathetic owners often immediately forget about them as soon as their work is done. And nearly all midsize crossovers are thoroughly ignored by enthusiasts whose eyes begin to glaze over at first mention of the phrase "third row."
Toyota is looking to soften the blow somewhat by giving its midsize crossover, the Highlander, a big redesign for the 2014 model year. With a bold new look, updated suspension and a refreshed interior focused on comfort and convenience, Toyota aims to make the Highlander sportier to drive and more striking in appearance, because, as the marketing team explains, "families are going places and they want to get there in style."
