saw a Toyota Caldina on the street today passing right in front of me. Didn't get to see what license plate it was but it didn't look like a dealer plate from a distance. Definitely not a CA plate. Looks kinda blueish/white color. Maybe some sign. Very amazing. Didn't have my camera with me tho, sucks. Maybe it'll be here soon!?!?

Would be nice to have one:

 

looks like a celica wagon from that angle...

 

Front = Civic Si
Side= Ford Focus

 

think wrx wagon

 

If, by any chance Toyota's testing it, that would be huge...

The Caldina has a 260hp 3S-GTE engine and AWD, and that means all MR2 Turbo owners (like I will be soon) would suddenly have a lot more aftermarket support in the US

BTW, you sure it wasn't a new Scion hatch?

 

I can gurantee you 1000000% it's a Caldina. I look at xAs every day and I have a xB in my garage The front end, the side/rear windows, and those funky taillights on the Caldina, you can't confuse it with ANY other car on the road.

And this is not the 1st time I've seen a Caldina here. I saw a orange-metallic one near Carson Toyota like before summer, and saw the exact same colored one on the 91 freeway heading towards Torrance (Toyota HQ, hmmm.....)

The one I saw a few days ago was silver. Looks VERY nice. Too bad I forgot to see if there's a hood scoop on it (3S-GTE AWD version)

 

Ray, do you know if the 3S-GTE will be an Auto only?

 

The new Caldina only comes in AT in Japan. However if the 4AT is as good as the SupraTT one, I wouldn't worry about it being AT And it's semi-auto anyways.

 

You're probably right but I like my manuals!!
