#1991ToyotaCressida

After Americans proved uninterested in buying the luxurious-for-its-time Toyota Crown during the early 1970s, Toyota brought over the new Corona Mark II, then gave its American-market, Chaser-based successor the Cressida name starting in the 1977 model year. The Cressida remained King of Toyotas in North America throughout the 1980s, but the appearance of the Lexus LS400 for the 1990 model year changed everything; Cressida sales collapsed. However, we could buy new Cressidas here all the way through 1992, and I’m always looking for the rare early-1990s models during my junkyard travels. Here’s a ’91 in Denver.

Oberkanone Styling is attractive. Exterior as well as interior. Using the Scout name to fool American public is off-putting. VW early start on Halloween. If VW succeeds building quality version of the concept, buyers won't care.
Dusterdude Divide asking price in half , and we can talk ..
FormerFF Don’t care. Looks too much like the new Bronco.
JMII These do look good inside and out. Will be interesting how the direct sales model works out for them. I love the idea of no more scumbag middle man dealers but having local service locations could be critical for mass adoption. Telsa has managed without by just scheduling a visit via a mobile tech. This is more convenient for sure but its a shift in how people think about vehicle service.
Wolfwagen They look great. I wish VW would have just gone full hybrid instead of the range extender. If Trump wins the election, I think EVs will see further downturns in sales and popularity
