Toyota Cressi-WHAT?!

The Cressida thru the years. 70's - 2000's
Contrary to popular belief, Toyota built luxury cars to compete with Mercedes, Volvo, and other luxury marques prior to the inception of Lexus.

The Cressida was brought out in 1973 as a Japan only model, and was only sold outside of Japan starting from 1977 onwards. In essence, the Mark II, Cressida, Chaser, and Cresta, are basically the same vehicle with different names and formats. The Cressida itself was available as a wagon, coupe, or sedan till 1981 which saw the birth of the Cresta that joined the Mark II and Cressida family.

Return Of Rumble Bee: A 2nd Chance



On the back from Lukut. Vios Chaperone behind.
Sometimes we all do things we regret. Like not seizing an opportunity, not asking a certain question, or saying or doing something we end up wishing we never did in the first place. Screwed up. Again.

The thing i regret doing the most, was taking my 1st car for granted. My 1985 manufactured, 1986 registered Toyota Cressida GLi-6. Turns out it was and is still, my dream car. I wouldn't trade it for a classic all american big-block Chevy Camaro Z/28 or even the latest addition to Lamborghini's Sant Agata lineup.
