from the link...

"The GT-Four "Name" has been reborn in the new Caldina 2.0 GT-Four. This is the same style of vehicle known as the Matrix here in the US. "

Its wrong. Idk what else to say.

Model history

1st Generation (1992-1997)

The original Toyota Caldina is the 5-door wagon and commercial van version in Japan of the 4-door sedan Toyota Corona. The Wagon has independent strut rear suspension, the commercial wagon has leaf spring. The Caldina has so far never been officially exported by Toyota outside of Japan, but its 4WD capability and large capacity have made it a popular import in rural areas of South America, such as the dust roads of Bolivia.

2nd Generation (1997-2002)

Sharing platform with Toyota Allion and Toyota Premio, the Caldina is basically the Japanese version of Toyota Avensis Wagon.

The 4WD models are coded ST215, and offered as Active Sports GT with 3S-GE engine, and the top of the line GT-T which comes turbocharged 260PS 3S-GTE engine, and 4-wheel drive system like the Celica GT-Four.

Engines for lesser models are 1.8 liter 7A-FE, 2.0 liter gasoline 3S-FE, and 2.0 liter diesel 3C-TE.

3rd Generation (2002-Current)

The all-new Caldina of September 2002 is a pure sports wagon, and does not share body panels with Allion, Premio, and Avensis. Engine for the Caldina is either 1.8 liter 1ZZ-FE, 2.0 liter 1AZ-FE, and 2.0 liter turbo 3S-GTE. Trim levels are 1.8 X, 1.8 Z, 2.0 Z, 2.0 ZT, and 2.0 GT-Four (the later is coded ST246). All models have automatic transmission. Minor change was given in January 2005. With the discontinuation of Celica, the Caldina is one of sportiest Toyota sold in Japan.

I was thinking about what the next 'gtfour' would be. I've got a good feeling about the new "blade" from reading

The standard Toyota Blade sends all that power through the front wheels, but you also have the option of equipping the Toyota Blade with all wheel drive for an average of extra 200-250K yen.

3sgte too, yum?

[shin]

the new toyota blade gonna be equiped with a V6 motor. not 3sgte.

[Tapi]

no, I meant it would be nice with a 3sgte.
