Default Toyota Crown Majesta




Sadly, we won't be getting this here, but will be getting this(new Avalon? ) instead.

Love the Crown, as usual we don't get any of the real goodies Japan has to offer.

Don't know about that Avalon though

Looks like an enlarged Prius. I hope the real thing won't look like that.

Like the Majestas and VIP Car has had ads by Wald that show them with body kit and wheels.

The Avalon takes some getting used to, I like it...wish it was RWD or AWD.

The Avalon cant be rwd sicne it's based on the Camry platform. It is meant to compete w/Buicks.

The redisigned Crown could likely serve as the new 06 GS.

The Crown Majesta looks hot, a car like that looks like it would be better suited in the Lexus line up then the Toyota line, just looking at the car it looks like an easy 70k, infact it looks like the SC430 morphed into the LS430 and thats the end result, hopefully that car will make it to the US and into Lexus, maybe that will be the next LS why would anyone buy an S Class over that

Now the Avalon

When I Toyota gonna make a RWD sedan and take out the Crown Vic/Town Cars

This would definately have to be a Lexus over here. You wouldn't want a car
that nice wearing a Toyota badge in the US. Although nice, I wouldn't want that
to be the next LS because I believe Lexus has something even better in store,
probably much better.

I'd not seen a Majesta till we were on vacation in Barbados and that was the taxi we rode in. It was after that ride. Too bad they aren't available in the states. No complaints with the LS...it is just one of those loves at first sight that sticks. I like the Avalon and considered an '02 if the GS or LS didn't pan out.

Default GS style change

The GS body style will change with the 2005 models.
