Re: [MBZ] Toyota diesels
Interesting story. Did you get the transmission working? 'The' transmission? No. 'A' transmission? Yes. I'm driving up and down the road near the house shaking it out. The car's now sporting a stick shift and not a slushbox. Ought to be ready for prime time in a few days. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] Toyota diesels
Since these sorts of publications are carefully proofread, I doubt it's a typo. I don't, necessarily. Seen plenty of errors in ad. copy myself over the years. -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] Toyota diesels
There was never any diesel RAV4 sold in North America. There are plenty of Toyota diesels sold in South America but I'm not sure about the RAV4 as it's only a city slicker SUVnthing that would hold up on the SA roads.. For that they have the Landcruiser diesels and the Kijang diesel. Not tomention the Hilux and Hilux Surf models. Toyota makes a decent diesel or the ROTW.they "reverse engineered" MB diesels to get theirsif you take a look under the hood of a Landcruiser diesel you'll see a nice copy of a OM615/616/617spooky!

Re: [MBZ] Toyota diesels
This was a two page four color insert to the St. Petersburg, Florida Times newspaper. There were two diesels pictured in boxes with the word "diesel" in big artwork letters in the bottom of each picture: The 2002 Toyota Rav 4 and a 2002 Ford F-150 Supercab XLT. Since these sorts of publications are carefully proofread, I doubt it's a typo. It may be greymarket. I wonder if they're sold in Canada? If anyone is interested, the price is $13,999 and the Tel number is 727-233-8377. Gerry - - Original Message - From: "Kaleb C.
