Ron, sold in Australia as the Toyota Corona. Very nearly indestructible and extremely reliable. Slightly different grill, etc.
In the US as well they went away from the Toyopet brand name into Toyota around the same time. FWIW, I believe this brand name came to be because phonetically "toyopetto" in Japanese means "the best" - so they tried to use that as the brand name originally when they went out of Japan.Ron, sold in Australia as the Toyota Corona.

Yeah, car makers keep getting caught out with names that mean quite different things in different languages.In the US as well they went away from the Toyopet brand name into Toyota around the same time.

Ron, it's wonderful, but it makes my back hurt even more than normal just thinking about getting in or out of it. Even more so than my Subaru Impreza!
I have a couple of cars that I are that low, at least in my cars, I have learned to get in is rather easy, you just turn around and drop back, after that it's fine. Getting out is a little harder, for sure. Might not be possible on this car as you would hit your head.Ron, it's wonderful, but it makes my back hurt even more than normal just thinking about getting in or out of it.
