Apparently my Crown's rear suspension decide to get bent and now it was broken, so my car is on toyota dealership now. But they let me drove the brand new Toyota Mark X, after i tell them i might bought one and trade in my crown. Yeay!

Toyota Mark X is designed for people who wants a Camry, but they wants RWD. And this Mark X is powered by a 2.5l V6 producing 204bhp. It cost 55k USD for this one with 250G Premium Trim. They also got a sports version powered by 3.5L V6, producing 314bhp, and costs 59k.

For a comparasion a Camry Hybrid cost a hefty 65k, while an Accord cost 60k and a Miata cost 59k here in Indonesia, so you got more jalop points for your buck. Altough the Mark X I think is Auto only so Miata might be more Jalop than the Mark X.

So, any questions before i writes the quickride?

I always like the distinctive (for Toyota anyway) looks of the Mark X es.

An automatic isn't necessarily a bad automatic.

Yeah. i prefer autos for daily driver to be honest, 3 of 5 cars that i ever bought are automatic.

But i think it would be one hell of a car if the sports trim comes with rwd. Manual 4-door saloon that about as big as a camry with 314hp on tap? yes please!

Or better yet, there's a Modellista version with 350hp Supercharged V6, and that's going to be one hell of a car if it was manual.

Yeah. I still don't understand why toyota only keeps the mark X for Asia.

Everybody needs a mid-size RWD Sedan with Camry reliability!

It's a nice looking car.

I'm not too sure about the chrome bits on the interior. I feel like those would blind you while driving, Haha.

Yeah, If the sun hits the chrome on the dashboard and reflects into your eyes. That's not going to be very fun.

yeah!

I was inspired by the bus/truck driver here in Indonesia that uses sunglasses while driving in the day because they had no sun visor.
