Whats with Toyota and the letter C???	Sat, 23 April 2005 07:26

Cresta, Chaser, Corona, Crown, Century, Caldina, Celsior, Celica, Corolla... Is there reasoning behind it or is it just a random conglomeration of words starting with C??? [Updated on: Sat, 23 April 2005 07:26] [Report message to a moderator]

you forgot cynos as well - but they are also named in the states and europe as the paseo, you also forgot the lovely aussie designed CAMRY, and the cressida, i spose you could also class the cavalier as a toyota in a way.. [Report message to a moderator]
