Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007 Sat, Įven as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers.

The Starlet would be dropped after 1984 and have no direct successor, although some regarded the all-new front-wheel-drive Toyota Corolla FX16 as a spiritual successor, introduced for 1984.Ī 1981-1982 Toyota Starlet would be prominently featured in the 1997 movie The Rainmaker, starring Matt Damon and Danny DeVito.UP FOR AUCTION IS MY 1981 TOYOTA STARLET 1.3 L ENGINE, CLEAN CLEAR FLORIDA TITTLE IN HAND. 1984 models were virtual reruns of 1983 other than a couple of new colors. Base and only engine remained the 1.3L I4 with the same transmission choices. An improved fuel injection system upped the hp rating to 74. 1983 Starlets, however, had a revised nose and grille that sloped backwards a bit for better aerodynamics. There would be no cosmetic changes at all. The standard equipment roster would be expanded on 1982 models, and it would include tinted glass, an electric rear defogger, and a day/night rear-view mirror. While most subcompacts of this era were usually devoid of very many creature comforts and conveniences, the Starlet was relatively well equipped by comparison, offering standard reclining bucket seats, front and side defoggers, an optional rear wiper, a three-spoke steering wheel, trip odometer, tachometer, padded dash and sun visors, plush carpets, door armrests, fold-down rear seats, automatic locking rear seat belts, and an aluminum-trimmed dashboard. A 3-door hatchback would be the only bodystyle offered.

The Starlet would be offered in only one trim level, and be powered by a 67 hp 1.3L (81 cid) I4 engine with either a 4- or 5-speed manual transmission or an optional 3-speed automatic. The Starlet would have a fairly short lifespan, being offered only from 1981-1984 with very few changes.Īlthough the Starlet would be available in its homeland of Japan since 1973 as the Publica 40, it wouldn't make its way to the states until 1981. The Starlet was a bit of an anomaly in that it was actually a rear-drive model in a world of front-wheel-drive subcompacts, being sort of like a Japanese Chevrolet Chevette. Toyota introduced the diminutive Starlet in 1981, bringing Toyota's subcompact model count up to 2 (the Tercel being the other one).
