Default For all those disappointed on not getting the CCX....

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!

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.

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

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:

but really don't know whether worth to convert it or not
