<br> For North America, the Mark II was available with bucket seats for the driver and front passenger, a center console with a floor-mounted manual transmission, electric rear window defroster, and a full size spare tire installed externally and underneath the cargo area on the wagon, with rear seats that fold down to a fully carpeted rear cargo area. The second-generation Mark II fortunately increased in size. As other automakers continued to offer vehicles in this size class, the Mark II’s popularity peaked in the 1980s. The Mark II’s siblings, the Chaser and the Cresta were discontinued due to declining sales, partly influenced by the Japanese recession that started in the early 1990s, and were combined into the short-lived Toyota Verossa. At the Mark II’s introduction in the late 1960s, Toyota was known as a small, economy car manufacturer. The producer, Facorca, intended to sell the car in the Caribbean and Central America, and also had plans for Brazilian assembly. The Mark II wagon was the largest wagon Toyota offered in North America, next to the Corona and Corolla wagons; the Crown wagon was no longer sold in North America. This generation continued to offer Japanese buyers an alternative to the Nissan Laurel sedan, and the new Nissan Bluebird based Nissan Maxima in North America, with the new Chaser as an alternative to the Nissan Skyline in Japan.<br>
<br> Its competitor was primarily the Nissan Laurel in Japan, released earlier that year in April. In Japan, the second-generation was renamed the Toyota Mark II, no longer using the prefix “Corona”, while internationally the “Corona” prefix was still used. It was a slightly larger vehicle than the Corona with a higher level of equipment offered at the time, sharing some of the features of the larger Crown, but taking the top position at Toyopet Store locations. The Corona Mark II was sold as a larger companion to the Corona, while still being smaller than the Crown. While this may not seem very promising, I can tell you from experience that 10 dB reduction really makes a lot of difference. As mentioned earlier, it is not possible to completely soundproof your vehicle, but you need to know beforehand as to how much soundproofing you can expect so that you can decide whether spending all that money is really worth it. Vehicle soundproofing can reduce sound inside a vehicle from five to 20 decibels. If you’re working on hardwood floors, cover them to avoid scratches, and consider putting down carpet for better sound quality and sound control.<br>
<br> When restrictions finally start to lift it’s full on work to get the heavy winter cover off, boot top and antifoul rubbed down and re-applied. As originally built, all the structural body panels were welded to the top of the single floor pressing, but this caused major problems with water entering the cabin and was quickly changed in the first months of production. The top level GSS hardtop coupe, which was offered as an alternative to the Crown Coupe, offered a twin-cam design with dual carburetors for 1972-1974, upgrading to electronic fuel injection starting in 1975. The X10 through 13 are sedans, 16- and 17-series numbers were reserved for vans, 20 through 23 for coupés, and 26 through 29 back box for in-wall speaker wagons. No physical prototype need be created until the design nears completion, allowing hundreds or thousands of designs to be evaluated, instead of a relative few. I’m hopeful that it will get me to the end of the season in a few weeks time. The Mark II would be one of the few sensible options for families transitioning from larger American Detroit cars in the midst of the oil crisis. The Crown line of cars was no longer marketed in North America due to poor sales.<br>
<br> In 1974 it was marketed in the U.S. In export markets, a version was sold as a wagon, whilst in the Japanese domestic market it was marketed as a van, intended for commercial usage. The four-cylinder 1,707 cc 6R engine was replaced by the 1,808 cc 16R. The 1.8 was discontinued in October 1975, leaving only two-litre engines of four or six cylinders in the Japanese market. North American market cars had the 2.3-litre M-series “six” when they first went on sale in early 1972, but in August of that year this was replaced by the larger 2.6-litre 4M unit. Stability – Our business model is designed for long-term stability in an ever-changing market. Toyota introduced the slightly larger fourth generation of the Cressida, the MX83, in 1988 for the 1989 model year – the final generation for the Cressida in North America. This model generation was amongst the last cars to feature the Toyopet brand name, which was dropped in 1980. The Toyopet name continued to be used for the dealership network in Japan, however. The appearance reflected a popular styling trend that appeared during the 1960s and 1970s internationally, called “Coke bottle styling” which Toyota adopted for only this generation of the Mark II.<br>
