ST190 Corona

[lite]

I finally had the chance to get a few shots of my first car. Bought it back in 2002, at a bargain I might add. It's a 1994 ST190 Toyota Corona (aka Caldina/Carina). Sorry for the bad quality, my friend's digi-cam was pre-set to 'crap mode' and we forgot to change it. :icon_frow

Gesh! Thanks for the work. I had to convert everything from metrics.

Hahaha. In my opinion, the U.S. should use the metric system like the rest of the world. It would make things much easier. Scientists, engineers, architects, etc. use the metric system, so why can't everybody else?

Back on topic, nice car! I've never heard of a Corona. I like seeing new cars that I've never seen. Is it comparable to the Toyota Corolla in the U.S.?

Nope... corolla's in the US are pretty much the same corolla's here in AUS.

These are the reasons I want to move out of the U.S., we don't get cool cars like these. I love Coronas, especially the older ones which were rwd. Can't wait to see how it turns out. :thumb:
