Toyota Caldina GT-4

Hmmm....I came across this car for sale locally here in Jakarta tonight. It's a stationwagon with 2.0L turbocharged 3S-GTE powerplant, pushing out 260hp (but as we all know, that' probably underrated), tiptronic shifter, 4WD, 17in wheels, optitron speedometer. Basically, the Caldina GT-4 is the Japanese Toyota's answer to the Audi RS4 wagon. It's for sale for $50k here in Jakarta, brand new, grey import, very very rare, and the price tag in Japan is $25k, so it's about right with indonesian import taxes and all.....

....what to do....what to do......

Here are some pics:

God knows I don't need another car.....

I really love this car, and I know Globe does too.

I would most probably give my first-born son to get my hands on this thing. Ridiculously sick.

Maybe, but I doubt it. I don't think blue and dark gray go together, the shifter housing looks weird, and what's with the non 1/2 oval cluster cover? Also i think the vents are in a V configuration

The shiftwer area looks weird, and so does the V console area. On other thoughts, the vents aren't that bad, and the cluster shade looks good

I think that Caldina is the 2002 model because from 2003 on the Caldinas get gray interior trim, the blue was only for 2002. But that's only for JDM models and maybe it's different for other places.

Caldina rocks.

We need a Scion Caldina here.
