I thought I remember people saying before we may get the Crown Athlete in the future. Does anyone know anything about that?

The website says it has the 3GR-FSE and 4GR-FSE...DOHC V6 with either 2.5 or 3.0L of displacement.
It says 256ps (about 250hp) for the 3GR and 215ps (about 210 or so hp) for the 4GR.
However, the Crown Majesta has 280ps (276 hp) fromt the 3UZ-FE, the same 4.3L V8 in all 430 Lexi.

It's true, I think, about the average consumer being confused - but I'd LOVE to see Toyota bring the car stateside as a Toyota. The first RWD Toyota sedan in the States since the Cressida (which I still maintain is a tight ride).

Isn't the whole point of Scion cheap, good cars for Gen. Y'ers? Or are they going full range now?

If they brought over the Crown, I'd be right in line for one but we never get the good, good stuff.
Yeah, the Cressida was a tight whip, I remember back in the day seeing them rolling on chromes with limo tint....
