However, the Cressida was available in Australia with the 2.8 litre 6-cylinder engine (with chassis code MX62 due to non-IRS). I suppose it was produced in Australia ? -- Last edit: 2020-05-06 01:02:01

Mmhhh, the question is, since what time New Zealand was flooded with used cars from Japan and Hongkong, so it may a JDM car. When I've been in NZ in 1998, the local car assembling was already collapsed.
