I can imagine what the Crown Athlete is going to look like when it's all VIP-ed out...even just with wheels and a drop would make that car look all that more sweet. I just wish they were available here. Thanks for the pics.

I like it more than the American made Avalon, but it may not be as roomy.

I hate Toyota for not bringing the Crown over. Maybe that will change with the Crown Hybrid concept they have on their website...One can only hope...

WHOA! I saw lots of these when I went to Jamaica (the older model) and they were beautiful then.

This new model knocks the socks off the old one and is very nice! I would love to have it here.

Does this crown have a lexus 4.3 V8 in it? the older crowns had a rather weak V12 in them, it put out like 280 hp due to restrictions.
