Default 2005 Camry / Mark II?

Found this on an S2K board where it was posted as the 2005 Camry .

I don't know enough about all the Toyota models to know what the Mark II is... thoughts on this?

toyota markII is a rear wheel drive. i dont think this will be camry or avalon since they both are FWD. MarkII is really a great car. i had one before and loved it, it was 2.4diesel turbo tho.

Isn't that called the crown? Its on Toyota's future model website. http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/future/crown.html Could be some sort of adaptation of it because its not exactly the same.

The Chaser/Mark II/Cresta is a Japanese RWD sedan. The JZX90 and JZX100 were very popular drift cars (the Tourer V variant has a 1JZ-GTE 2.5L Twin Turbo, manual transmission, and is LIGHTER than the TT Soarer).

This model has a V6

V6?

I just checked up on the Toyota website and it stated it still has the 1JZGTE under the hood of the MarkII iR-V



EDIT: Oooh and if that was the 2005 Camry I'd buy one!

Jose, that is the current shape you posted. The original pic is for the next generation

D'oh, just double checked with my magazine, and it is the CROWN that gets the 250hp V6

The same V6 that will be in the new GS and (I assume) the next gen IS... Only rated at 245 for us.

On topic, I would love to have a Chaser...
