Toyota's That The US Does Not Have - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-25-2009, 01:01 AM

Thought I'd check up what the Philippines has in terms of Toyota's that either the US doesn't have, or is a bit different. Here they are:

Previa

Land Cruiser Prado

Avanza

Camry

Fortuner

Hilux

Innova

Hiace (man, this is huge)

On another note, NUMMI, the Toyota manufacturing plant here in NorCal, may be closing.

GM is leaving NUMMI. Toyota may go it alone. Nobody is yet sure.

Not surprised that we don't have those here. It's not like we need them anyway

Be nice if they did so that my brother-in-law won't get laid off.

I doubt the US would allow it for commercial uses either (the Hiace) since they use those Dodge fans for the airport now a days. However, the Innova and the Avanza may be good choices for florists and such that need to haul stuff around. I know Ford is making a model specifically for those people. I forgot what it's called tho.

Couldn't agree with you more. European countries got those, right? Even the PI didn't have a Corolla hatch, at least I've never seen any on tv. hahaha.

Shroomster · 07-25-2009, 11:29 AM

The U.S had the first gen (U.S.Version) of the previa, then they traded off to the sienna name and such.....

eTiMaGo · 07-25-2009, 11:38 AM

We used to have a Fortuner as a company vehicle, great car for the money, very popular here

But I prefer my lil Yaris

Yeah. I still can't believe the older Previa's were mid-engine and supercharged.

supmet · 07-25-2009, 01:56 PM

The mid 90s previa is right up there with the aztek for the ugliest car ever made.

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-25-2009, 02:04 PM

LMAO. Never said it looked nice. hahaha. Kinda reminds me of a Jelly Bean.

Morgan · 07-25-2009, 02:09 PM

my favorite:

but we have some of those models, just not in those trims?...

ps- we get this corolla but not with the 2.2L D-4d that does 0-60 in 8.1... :(

texkid · 07-25-2009, 02:20 PM

I would've jumped on a Corolla hatchback if I had the chance. Those are nice!

Bredayaris · 07-25-2009, 03:42 PM

You guys in the USA have great Toyota's that EU does not have ;-)

We got the Auris/ Corolla hatchback if you like.

We all know the iQ(is coming to the US right? and Aygo:

The Avensis (my father in law has one, great car!):

The Verso/ Corolla Verso:

The Urban cruiser but it's family of a Scion?:

a friend of mine bought a TTE compressor kit for a corolla t sport compressor to put on his matrix xrs....he'll be installing that mofo in a couple months. last i heard, he's waiting for a baffled oil pain from japan...

well for some of those, the u.s. definitely has some extremely close relatives. some are as close to simple rebadge and lighting changes.

Quote:

^change the front-end a little, add some lexus badges, and you've got a gx470.

Quote:

^change front bumper, headlightslights, rear bumper, tails, and you've got a camry. interior and everything between the a and c pillars are carbon copies of the camry xle w/ diferent head units. interesting note- the jdm camry is a lot closer to the usdm camry. same bumpers and lights. i find it an amazing feat- how toyota positions the "camry" nameplate at so many different levels to suit so many countries. it is safe to say that the u.s. has the "poorest" camry. considering philippine peso conversion rate, their baller camry costs upwards of $50,000.

and just to confirm bredayaris's post:

Quote:

^scion indeed rebrands the urban cruiser as a scion xd in the states with slightly different trim.

as for the avensis=venza, that is wrong. they share nothing aside from shape, and are two completely different derivatives of their original platform. the avensis is a much lower vehicle (even in estate configuration as posted), and is a derivative of the caldina platform, not the camry platform that the venza is derived from. in fact, to get a general idea of the shape, think of a stretched scion tC (hence the tC's chopped rear end). the tC and avensis share chassis. it's like how some people say that the hilux and taco are relatives, when in reality, they only share engines. two unrelated truck platforms that split up in the late 80's.

The Venza is a totally different car.

The Avensis has a different design, no V6, there's a sedan and stationwagon, petrol and diesel engines etc.
