    spotted a turbo...

    Cressida!

    This is the only one I've ever seen, although it had an rsx-s on it's tail still while flooring it. Anybody else seen a turbo one before?:superconf

    ugh, chaser looks nothing like a cressida. cressida is a 4 door sedan that came before the camry (early 80's)

    and no, no 2jz, like I said it was still slow, but I was amazed to see one actually turbo'd

    Where does the Chaser fit into Toyota's JDM lineup? Is it just considered a luxo-sport 4 door?

    in the US I believe they discontinued the cressida in 84 because the camrys came out in 85 (2S-E powered)

    edit: so that means we only got the 1st and 2nd gen

    Cressidas were around until 92 actually. GREAT car! The Avalon was the sucessor.

    Didn't know that. I'm not sure I've ever seen one here, maybe they just sold poorly in my area
