Toyota Mark II Blit

[Hank Scorpio]

Anybody know much about these cars?

Seems to had replaced the Caldina in '02 and was manufactured until '07. AWD or RWD drivetrains, 1JZ-GTE option, pretty luxo but unfortunately all auto (which isn't terrible, just a little dissapointing).

Could be a good replacement for those Legnums getting a bit old and tired in a couple of years.

Not the prettiest of vehicles either unfortunately.

What does everyone think?

It looks like a car for the American market, i.e., butt-ugly.

Would a 1JZ be getting a bit long in the tooth by that time?

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Indeed it is ugly!

I dunno about it being too old, take the 4G63 for example it has been used since the mid-late eighties! Puts out decent power, gives reasonable fuel economy and is easy to mod.

There are some around NZ, they aren't terribly good looking cars at all!

It looks like a sedan with the back just slapped on.

1JZ is sweet tho..

Looks like a Lexus gone wrong from the front and the rear quarter panel screams funeral car ...

Plus one to the funeral car comment! Wonder if the car would hold together after a few mods to the 1JZ

In a HPI mag there were pics of one of these cars in a drift comp

There was a feature on these in one of the HPI mags recently. From memory they thought they were ok but were put off by the over 1700kg kerb weight.
