Toyota Caldina GT4 (3rd genration)

This is basically a JDM carina/avensis estate. I like it, much better looking than the stodgy current avensis available here.
The GT4 comes with 4wd and fitted with the 2L 3S-GTE engine producing 260PS :twisted:
This looks like a great style/ performance package especially for an estate car. If I had a few rug rats and accessories to transport I think this would be high on my list of "weapon of choice". I think toyota have stopped production in Japan though. The next generation avensis estate perhaps? The Japs always keep the best stuff for themselves :smt018 Anyone ever seen one on this side of the pond?

I was left sitting by an older shape of these not too long ago - I didn't even attempt to keep up CRAZY power for an estate.. Yer man had some mental eaftermarket zaust fitted so it sound like a lowflying aeroplane..

It said GT something on the back of it - went like the clappers.

The older shape one (2nd generation) is the same shape as the avensis estate ('98 onwards) available here in Ireland. Nowhere near as nice looking -same performance though.

I'd say they surprise quite a few people :twisted: 8)

Oh that's not entirely unappealing that there..

Would be handy for luggin the aul Dj gear about :-)
