What Generation Camry would this fall under...these Camry's are completely different to those ive seen. What are they and where where they from?

Doesn't look like any camry i've ever seen, though the door panels match the gen 3 camry's perfectly. Maybe an Aristo? or a Mark II...

The Model (VZV32), is only about matched by the Land Cruiser Prado (VZJ120) or the Hilux Surf (VZN215W)

In other words, I don't know what the hell it is

I remember seeing one of those here in Belize. Those are the camry prominents from japan.

Yeah theres a whole heap of weird looking ones..
Camry Prominent, Gracia etc.
The model years a weird as are the numbers, like, VZV34, SV34, CV25 etc.
The engines they use are funny too...1VZ's, 4SFE, 3C, 4VZ, 2MZ etc.
Weird.

Perhaps JDM models?

It uses the Gen3 chassis, it's been discussed before but I can't remember... maybe it's the Holden clone.

JetspeedCamry · 01-18-2005, 07:04 PM

Haha..nah there not the Holden clone...
The Holden clones are called Apollo's and are in every but small trims and badges, a Gen 2 or Gen 3 Camry. Holden dropped the Apollo after the Gen3. Guess people just wanted to buy a Toyota instead!

These Camry's are odd...judging by the engine types..id say JDM. (1VZ and 2MZ)

In Japan the Camry is different, isnt like our Camrys at all. Our camrys in Japan are called Scepter. The floorplan for one is most prob different because BRIDE makes different seat rails for the Jap Camry and Scepter

sorry im ignorant. what do you guys mean by JDM?

***Razo-E*** · 01-19-2005, 04:41 AM

it's like the Camry Vista and the Qualis...

it's just another car built on the Camry Chassis..

oh, and i think they have 2 liter turbo diesels..

migoreng · 01-19-2005, 06:10 AM

JDM = japanese domeestic market

my friend just told me.so basically when someone has jdm parts they have jap style/spec parts

***Razo-E*** · 01-19-2005, 06:15 AM

WhiteRabbit · 01-19-2005, 03:48 PM

JetspeedCamry · 01-19-2005, 04:35 PM

zenerman · 01-19-2005, 06:29 PM

i've seen those camrys here in the DR, they are JDM camrys totally, i've seen here a lot of jdm corollas too, they look weird....

02RSX90camry · 01-20-2005, 12:43 PM

that is definitely a gen 3. 92-97, uses a 2VZ engine, has a V platform code, meaning it's a camry, and they specifically say it's a camry. Just cuz we never got that version of gen3 doesn't mean it's not a real gen3. The wagon's don't look a hundred percent like the sedan, and tehy've got a slightly different chassis code, but tehy're still the same gen as the corresponding sedan. if i'm not mistaken, that seems to be a gen3 special edition, since the japanese camry's generally didn't have teh V6's (other than the special edition).

BTW, S2B_Blown_3.5, the reason those cars u mentioned (land cruiser and hilux) have those chassis codes that are similar is because they also have VZ engines (5VZ). The gen 2 camry i have is a VZV21, i'm not sur eon teh number of the early gen3 V6's, but they are VZV3X i think. i know they're VZVXX for sure.
