I was out in old town Pasadena, and I spotted this. YEA I thought it was the ccx but the production model. Well I was close, it's a toyota caldina. I think only availible in Japan. Odd thing was I thought I saw it had michigan license plates.

what you guys think?

The first pic looks kinda Benz-y :D Sweet!

What size it it? Isn't it a bit big though? Maybe what the "Camry station wagon" would be!

I think it looks pretty cool.

It looks like a cross between the Matrix and the WiLL....which was at the LA auto show 3 years ago. I kinda like it. I wonder if the hood scoop is actually useful. And yes the Matrix is getting a "face lift" as Toyota calls it, it's nothing major though.

And can you believe there's some one in the US and in Calif. actually has one. Lucky bastards.

You can get any car from japan if you want. go to http://www.batfa.com/ and have them import it into usa. The shipping cost is roughly $900. But all of them RHD

But this was strraight up left hand drive. Does anyone know if the Canadians got the caldina? Who's up for road trip. J/K

Oh I forgot to mention. You can convert RHD to LHD. I saw someone convert their skyline R35 to LHD in some magazine

But the Caldina I saw last night, had a family in it. I don't know any family who would purposely import a station wagon and convert it to left hand drive and smog it for state side legal.

I am truly baffled at the sight of one. I now know the torment I give to all the first time on- lookers of my xB.

I really don't know how they get caldina. The only way I can think of is someone import it and convert and sold it out used. That family might have bought it.

Anyway... I actually wanted to buy XA...now I change my mind on this. Thinking of getting one:
