Talking Would you hit it?

I'm not a Toyota guy, but the Crown does something for me when dressed up. This one is an inch too low for my taste. Let me know your thoughts (I'm just sharing some Japanese goodness).









A different one..You get the idea.







This color and height works for me.....



More Silver





White is not me, but for some.....





The Athlete model is more sporty, and has the mesh look grill (I like that), the other is a regular Crown.

Yuck....i'll take those Maya's though...

So I don't get it....does the "VIP" scene just take really ugly cars, throw air suspension on them, rediculously staggered expensive wheels, and limo tint? Oh...and the little curtain lever that hangs off the rear view mirror.

Well,

I thought I would show something that was a bit odd and different. Now, I don't like the extreme drops, but lowered is OK.

Its ok Mako, i think a lot of people here cant learn to accept a difference, i guess thats why everyone's' car here are built the same. I think a lot of people heres' young mind are still about racing and driving fast in mediocre cars. as for the Crown itself, i believe it is the most beautiful car ever produced, only second to the Toyota century, that is. The crown and century are the epitome of refined elegance and luxury in the auto world. and so to answer your question, no...i'd rub her down

Here as in the board? So you consider the members on our board that own any one of the following mediocre? S2Ks, 350z, NSXs, Lotus, M3s, Porsches. You are living in la la land as your account states.



The crown may be a nice luxury car, but it can't be compared to sports cars and other individuals like or dislike of it regardless of the cars they may or may not own.

^^ And to add, I'd take a 3-series, 5-series, A6, or an A8 over a crown anyday, even if it meant spending more money.

I didn't know the Toyota Crown existed until now, and it turns out it's Toyota's longest running model sedan. They've been making them since the 50's. I wonder why they don't sell them here, not even as a Lexus.

As an enthusiast of sporty fuel efficient cars, I'm generaly upset that a lot of small fuel sipping models never reach our shores, even ones made by companies like Ford.

for some reason i seem to recall that the Crown were back in the days with the Toyota Cressida model... it was my first car...

when they stopped making the Cressida, that was when the Lexus ES250 was introduced... i can see the lines of the LS430 in these crowns though...
