TRD Gives Some
The newly refreshed and launched Crown only arrived on the scene yesterday, but we'ree already seeing some nice bodywork from several manufacturers (we'll introduce them later this week).

Let’s start with the quite aggressive but elegant TRD version. As you can see its been given the front spoiler we've already seen on the Fairlady Z Nismo (Z350), as well as some elegant side skirting which emphasizes our vehicle's sportyness.

TRD also provided an ASV Suspension Kit as well as two different pairs of rims.

We don't have the Toyota Crown in the United States, but this body style looks so much like a Nissan product.

because toyota sold their soul....they rather sell more econoboxes or family cars than make a real sports car fo enthusiasts.....not since the late 90 have they had any interesting models in their line-up. they lost their racing tradition and it seems that they only focus any significant effort (as far as newer tech or interesting features) to their lexus division....and even then their cars are semi-bland too. nissan is king.

what the hell are you talking about? when i mentioned econoboxes i was referring to the scion line of toyota. which seem to be the only ones pushing semi sport compact cars in the united states ifor the toyota front. so what if theres a v6 in a car? if its small, cheap, and oriented to entry level buyers that makes it an econobox. i wasn't talking about the toyota crown. . they aren't exactly doing their own thing if they only focus on the general public and selling cars that blend in with the rest: family oriented cars like camrys and corollas or crossover suvs. so as you can see i was talking about newer cars made by toyota worldwide. they are mainly producing FWD platforms and last i checked not a single car with a turbo which toyota was quite good at doing in the 90s.

conclusion:
your car isnt exactly limited to a VIP style car either. it has been used in drift/road racing and street tuning as well. and it was made in the late 90s. so you're not following what i'm saying, and you are not making your point either. my point is: in the past years toyota has lost their touch, not producing a single interesting or high performance car, only cars that sell. no love for the enthusiasts.

and for the record its always been in my plans to own a toyota supra MK3. so how is that for not knowing anything about cars? take your time to read before you go making accusations.

Stock Toyota Crown version better than this TRD unconvincing and incoherent conversion.
They'ved just added a minor spoiler lip, side skirts and a very cheap looking wheel combination.
A very poor package and will outdate quickly.
Seriously not very individualistic.

I think that it looks too much like some guy off the street did the styling on the sport bodywork. The back looks both sporty and elegant but the wheels are not suited and the front is totally over the top imo. Maybe in black it would look better but the wheels must go

WELL DUDE WITH THE STUPID NISSAN AVATAR,,,UR LIMITED TO THE AMERICAN WAY OF THINKING SO I WAS EXPECTING EVERYTHING U SED TO JUS VERE AWAY FROM WHAT I SAID AND SAY SUM REALLY IRELLEVANT THINGS.

IN JAPAN AND THE REST OF THE WORLD.... A V6 IS NOT A FUEL EFFICIENT ENGINE OK? WE DONT STEAL OIL FROM OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE YOUR COUNTRY DOES, BUT ANYWAY, MY CAR IS CONFIGURATED TO BE A VIP CAR, AND I WASNT TALKIN ABOUT DRIFTING OR OTHER TYPES OF RACING CONFIGURATIONS,. A VIP CAR IS A JAPANESE VERSION OF A MIX BETWEEN THE TASTELESS AMERICAN LOWRIDERS AND THE ALWAYS AMAZING GERMAN LUXURY SEDAN, JUST BECAUSE TOYOTA GIVES ALL THE LEAST APPEALLING SMALLER ENGINED 4CYLINDERED CARS TO THE US ITS BECAUSE ITS WHAT THE EXECUTIVES AT TOYOTA AMERICA CHOOSES AND CLEARS EMISSIONS TESTS. DOESNT MEAN TOYOTA HAS LOST FLARE, BLAME TOYOTA DESIGNERS FROM THE US, THEY GAVE U THE NEW COROLLA, THE HIGHLANDER, THE AVALON, THE SOLARA.

SO ASK URSELF....WHO IS TO BLAME....ITS DEFINETLY NOT JAPAN, BECAUSE TOYOTA IN JAPAN HAS PERFORMANCE CARS, JUST NOT IN THE FORM OF 2 DOOR COUPES OR CONVERTIBLES...FOR EXAMPLE THE BLADE AKA THE V6 AURIS, LEXUS IS350,MARK X, CALDINA GT. ITS MORE OF A SOPHISTICATED TASTE BASICALLY.

WHO EVER DOESNT LIKE IT JUST DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE TOYOTA IS THE NUMBER 1 SELLING CAR WORLDWIDE. U CAN BITCH AND WHINE ALL U WANT BUT ITS THE TRUTH.

Back to the car...this TRD version is odd, it doesn't look classy, yet it's a luxury sedan...it's a bit like going to a wedding with sports shoes if you see what I mean...

I'm sure Wald International or Fabulous will provide much better bodykits...time will tell.

Fuga? Ousch, dont say that.... well maybe. Its got a bit of JZX-110 Mark-X to it. Maybe that blended with Fuga, and here we have it.
