But somehow i want a Toyota Origin. Imagine driving this car on normal road, people will wonder "What the hell is that thing?"

Kinja'd!!!

Plus underneath it's a first-gen Lexus IS. So it has 2JZ, voice-activated Satnav, full wood and leather trim, gilt or silver analogue clock and full soft touch plastic interior, dual zone air conditioning and automatic head lights and wipers. For 1998 car. And because it's JDM, i'm pretty sure the ride will be wallowy, or known as "willing and ready". MSRP back then was 7 Million Yen, or roughly 70k USD..

Too bad it's a limited run, only 1000 unit. But still, what do you think?

Well, i guess it'll be quite hard..

Plus if i can import a thing from Japan, i'll get my priorities right and buy a Mazda Eunos Cosmo.

Well, that's because it's Toyota's attempt to bring back the first generation Toyota Crown..

Yeah.

I'm still researching to import one of those. In Indonesia you can import anything you want, but it's going to be taxed massively.

It's better than not being able to import anything younger that 25 years old though! =P

well, yeah, 3.0l I6 2JZ-GE, just like my Crown.

Only i think Origin looks smaller than Crown, so it's should be faster.

*And i really want to twin-turbo my crown so it's at least produce 330hp.

Yeah, but..

Brand new car is helluva expensive. Miata is 59k in here.
