random is right. This stuff reminds me of when super street magazine bothers to feature some 17 yr old civic that nobody other than the owner would even want to look at.


The car is worth less than the wheels and tires on the car. LOL. Regardless of cost the car does nothing for me. Just my humble opinion

For someone that speaks so highly of the GTR, its accomplishments, and its heritage you sure does not appreciate other JDM goodies lol

I completely disagree. I loved Cressidas. I grew up with it. My parents had Toyota Mark II (JDM version of these cressidas), and these are the start of Toyota's luxury division.

I can't say enough how much I love Mark II and Cressidas.

I wonder what the world would be like if RWD still dominated the sedan market. That being said, I much prefer a Camry, Fusion, Malibu, etc. in FWD....no thats not true. I really only prefer AWD.

Wow...that just outright arrogant. YOU may not be interested in these cars but they are what old JDM heritage is all about. The roots of JDM. Where it all started. 17 yr old Civics pique my interest as do these old school Cressida's definitely catch my attention.

Thanks for sharing these photos, 1Sick. I love the first one. The motor is so flippin clean!

Great pics.

I remember my mom had an old Cressida when I was a kid, can't remember what year it was. I've always been a fan of classic JDM cars, especially from the 80's.

hey buddy if thats a JDM goodie I am not sure I want to see what you call JDM garbage. I would say an older Integra Type R is JDM yuminess, not an old beat down family sedan that is seriously worth maybe $250

If the car was stock and in mint condition that would be something, but to see an old beaten down and totally stripped family sedan is not JDM good stuff








This is what we would usually call JDM sweetness. I think you will see what I mean

And you want to call other people "ignorant"? I posted this to share some RWD Cressida goodness. It was a wonderful RWD Toyota sedan in the 1980s and today people are swapping the engines and turning them into drifters in some cases.

A local shop I know was on "Pinks" with one and they won the race in their modified Cressida.

It is OUTRAGEOUS you are quick to blab "oh this site doesn't like other cars" and "oh yall are bashing this car I like" and then you come and do the exact same thing over and over with cars you don't like or don't understand.

You then come and post pics in a Cressida thread with ANOTHER Skyline/GTR.

If you are going to just come in here to bash the Cressida please just exit the thread or at least "google' about it.
