Toyota Cressida X80 (5th Generation)

19891992 · MX83 · sedan

Final-generation Cressida (chassis MX83) — rear-drive 4-door sedan with the 3.0L 7M-GE inline-six. Effectively the Mark II Grande for the US market. Discontinued in North America after 1992 as Lexus took over the premium slot.

Watch out: 7M-GE head gasket failures are the well-known issue with this engine family (the 7M-GTE turbo variant gets the worst reputation, but the NA 7M-GE shares the underlying head-bolt torque-spec problem). Many surviving cars have had the head gasket addressed already.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
