Toyota Caldina GT-Four TRD, why? It's powered by the latest and most powerful production 3SGTE variant to date, TRD Technocraft has suspension and body parts available, plus Japanese 3SGTE aftermarket parts support is endless!

too little too late

There'll be better cars out by then. If they just start giving us half the cars the rest of the world gets, I'd be happy.

That looks good done up! Considering it's a 5 door!

If Phi, you're gonna love the one in the autoshow! It's a beautiful shade of cherry-red colour, and the interior is mint.. The only problem is that we're not getting the turbo model here in North America...

But the car is selling for under $15,000
And it's perfect for your size Phi :p
Although I must admit, sitting in that car was very comfortable, and I'm 6'2"

As a side note, I just stumbled across Toyota Motor Corps main website. Kinda cool to access international sites.

well i found out from toyota themselves that the MR-S couldnt pass the slow speed crash test that canada has i mean we are more strict than US when it comes to this and our highways arent that much.. infact vancouver has no gaddamn highway... just a couple of fvcked up bridges.... that's why the slow speed test is very very important here cos we are in km/h not mph hehehehe

importing that car to canada is hard as well... u have to go through a lot of inspections etc etc.... toyota didnt want to redesign the front bumper to make it pass the slow speed front crash test for canada since the market here is much smaller than the US...

all these stupid tests... that's why we dont get the fun cars!!!!
