FactIt introduced the world's first voice warning system, then spent its days working as a Japanese taxi.
The fourth-generation Mark II was introduced in October 1980 as a sedan, pillared hardtop and wagon, the coupé having been replaced by the Soarer; it was exported as the Cressida. Engines included the 1G six (twin-cam 1G-GEU from 1982), the turbocharged M-TEU, the 2.8-litre 5M for the Grande and export Cressida, the 18R-G and 2.2 and 2.4-litre diesels. It introduced the world's first voice warning system, and was a common taxi in Japan. In North America the Cressida used the 2.8 six, rising from 116 hp to 143 hp with the twin-cam 5M-GE for 1983–1984.

The last Mark II offered Navi AI-shift, which used GPS signals to put the automatic gearbox in the appropriate gear.
One Mark II trim level dropped on the JZX100 was called 'Groire' — named, oddly, after a small village in central France.
The JZX90 earned the nickname "Samurai" in Russia's Far East — not for its drift cred, but for tail lights shaped like a katana blade, the same region that nicknamed the R32 GT-R "Godzilla."
The X80 Mark II's supercharged six had a trick up its sleeve: an electromagnetic clutch disengaged the belt-driven blower whenever boost wasn't needed, saving fuel.
This Mark II is the one that dropped the Corona name Toyota had used on it since the 1960s.
It introduced the world's first voice warning system, then spent its days working as a Japanese taxi.
This Mark II spun off a sportier twin in 1977, the first Toyota Chaser.
Toyota dropped the Corona name at home while export markets kept it, splitting one car into two identities.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
