It's probably a package from Southeast Toyota, which is the main distributor in your region. I've heard of this "sport" model before, and they'll often times have other vehicles that are specific to their region that Toyota doesn't distribute elsewhere.

You got any pics? I'd like to see this car.

Got pics from this thread:
2011 Sport Model

Looks really good, I would black out all chrome parts, grille, trunk strip and remove the "SPORT" badges. Looks tacky. Black out Headlights too.

I looked it up on that dealer's website. They list it as a Limited, with the "Sport" package. It's basically an Avalon SE, or basically $4k for a body kit and some emblems. At least the Avalon Touring had a firmer suspension.

I've heard that SE Toyota has weird option packages, and usually their cars are equipped with more options than other Toyotas in the nation, because it is a single guy who literally owns the entire region, and he controls what cars come with what. I also know he tends to put a lot of options/accessories on his cars, that way he makes more money in that fashion. He gets talked about a lot here at the dealership, lol.

By the way, I really like it. I kinda want it, lol

Do not like the rims at all!!!!! That sport badge is tacky...but other than that it's nice...not 4k nice though!!!!

[arabianobsession]

4k is a bit much, but other than that, I would be more inclined to buy the "grandpa car" with this package.

Interesting.

They should have used the sport badges off of the Rav4 Sport, those are much better looking.

[LynchburgCSI]

Yeah, those look a little home depot-ish

No sport badges at all would look much cleaner.

There's been some interesting packages from that region, I wish I knew them all. One I think originated from the area was the Cressida Tiara Edition, which was a limited edition package on the MX63 Cressida. All it had was a "Tiara" emblem and a hood ornament.

There was a salesguy from the dealership here who drove through Florida about 30 years ago, and he said that every single Corolla down there had the padded Landau roofs, wire wheel covers, hood ornaments, the works.

I have NEVER seen a Corolla with those accessories. Sounds ugly though.

And yes, SE Toyota region does have some pretty cool dealer packages For example the Tundra X-SP.
