Yeah, most car companies just change out the headlights and the taillights and call it a new model. Take, for example, Honda. The Civic is the same thing as the Acura EL. hahaha.

The Urban Cruiser is awd unlike our xD's.

Ah, the Caldina. I liked using that and the Stagea in Gran Turismo. LOL.

Its like how Scion is the fashionable side of Toyota cars..in that same sense (according to the commercials i saw in Japan), Netz is fashionable cars from Toyota.... ie. Vitz, Rav 4, etc...for some reason the Belta is labeled as a regular Toyota there..lol

Avanza is very popular in my country.It has 1.3l vvti engine RWD 90hp(K3-VE engine)
or
1.5l vvti RWD 106hp
there are three trim levels here: E(base models),G(upper),and S(luxury trim).They're lack of safety features,only the S trim that comes with an ABS(no models are equipped with an airbag) *Maybe that's the reason why toyota didn't take avanza to U.S.

Innova also popular here. In 2004,toyota launched innova(medium sized 7 seater MPV),or well known here as "kijang"(deer) innova.It has 2.0 1TR-FE vvti 136hp or 2.5 2KD-FTV diesel D4-D 100 hp engines.
Basically,there are only three trims here.But,as goes with customers demand,the Toyota Astra Motors(Sole agent of Toyota in Indonesia)offers plenty of option.
Trim levels are:
E(basic)

G(Grand):
G Luxury (with 2nd row captain seat)
G Cruiser (with striping and "cruiser" embossed logo on grill)
G (non captain seat)
V(Extra)
V Limited 2.7 vvti engine
V Luxury Captain Seat
V Luxury
V equipped with climate control air conditioner,MID,"optitron" combination meters and ABS.No airbag except for V Limited 2.7l

The Toyota Auris will be available as a hybrid in 2010 here in Europe!
Maybe i'm going to trade my diesel Yaris for that car.

The Urban cruiser is only available as a awd when it's a diesel.

The Mark X is truly a man's car. Some of the ads in Japan were based solely on the image of a man driving it....want to own one
