Currently, the only 'Yotas I'd consider are the Tundra, Tacoma, and FRS.

Yaris. (For obvious reasons)



Otherwise, I freaking love Toyota's midsize RWD cars from the mid 90's.

Chaser, Cresta, Mark II, Crown

Then the Toyota Crown Athlete is also one of my favorites

Looking back through their H&H, Toyota built a lot of awesome fucking cars.

I'm not much on Toyotas. But to give them credit, they do build some durable vehicles. Not that I want one. Here's a tough little pile of recycled American tin cans:

I love finds like this. Dependable little truck for dirt cheap, $8.99 for some bumper paint.

I'd say those are mine as well.  The 2nd gen MR2 Turbo and FR-S/GT-86 rank up there as well.

I always thought of those as too Land-Rover-eque for their own good. OK, so they were a better Land Rover than the Land rovers were, but still. I like the FJ40s.
Title: Re: Your Favorite - Toyota

LF-A and the indestructible truck from Top Gear. That's it.
Title: Re: Your Favorite - Toyota
Post by: MrH on July 07, 2012, 07:00:11 PM
FR-S/ GT 86 obviously.

Besides that, LFA fo sho.  That's a cool vehicle.  Sounds great too.

Most definitely SC400. My family had one for a little while back in the day. It kicked ass.

1979 Toyota Celica Liftback  :wub:

(http://en.toyota-club.eu/graphics/gallery/full/242_autowp_ru_toyota_celica_xx_1.jpg)



1981 Toyota Celica GT Coupe - very handsome car. Look 95% like the Mitsubishi Sapporo Coupe, which I also love.

(http://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2007/08/13/18/32/1981_toyota_celica_st_coupe-pic-9642.jpeg)



Toyota Cressida Sedan and Coupe - reminds me of the beautiful Plymouth Volare.  :wub:

For what it's worth, I was always a big fan of the second gen MR2.

Yaris Mk 1 -- set the standards in the market at the time for a spacious, reliable and economical small car
Lexus LS400/Toyota Celsior -- just an awesome luxury car and a first effort that beat Mercedes and BMW
Toyota Crown -- just really cool for what they are.  Normally ordered with wool cloth instead of leather according to wikipedia
Prius Mk 3 -- great fuel economy, quiet and looks pretty stylish except maybe for the rear, and no-one has been able to match it
86 -- first genuinely sporty Toyota in a long time
Land Cruiser 70 -- a classic 4x4

But the FJ40s are really Jeep-esque, so...

Obviously an FJ40, but for findability's sake...

There are a lot of good ones. I'm going with the Celica though. Any of the ones from 78-93.

What I love more about Toyotas though are their interiors from the 80s. The button/gauge text, button designs, general designs just remind me of childhood. Also were very high quality.
