Toyota's That The US Does Not Have

Thought I'd check up what the Philippines has in terms of Toyota's that either the US doesn't have, or is a bit different. Here they are:

Previa


Land Cruiser Prado


Avanza


Camry


Fortuner


Hilux


Innova


Hiace (man, this is huge)

On another note, NUMMI, the Toyota manufacturing plant here in NorCal, may be closing.

GM is leaving NUMMI. Toyota may go it alone. Nobody is yet sure.

Not surprised that we don't have those here. It's not like we need them anyway

I doubt the US would allow it for commercial uses either (the Hiace) since they use those Dodge fans for the airport now a days. However, the Innova and the Avanza may be good choices for florists and such that need to haul stuff around. I know Ford is making a model specifically for those people. I forgot what it's called tho.

Couldn't agree with you more. European countries got those, right? Even the PI didn't have a Corolla hatch, at least I've never seen any on tv. hahaha.

The U.S had the first gen (U.S.Version) of the previa, then they traded off to the sienna name and such.....

But I prefer my lil Yaris

Yeah. I still can't believe the older Previa's were mid-engine and supercharged.

The mid 90s previa is right up there with the aztek for the ugliest car ever made.

The Avensis (my father in law has one, great car!):



The Verso/ Corolla Verso:



The Urban cruiser but it's family of a Scion?:
