JAC Auto: China's take on the Toyota Verossa+C Class



Following our previous report on what's available in Toyota Japan's showrooms, we mentioned about some cool Japan-Only Toyotas that included this shown above, the Toyota Verossa, launched in 2001 to replace the Toyota Chaser favored by many drifters for it's turbo charged front engine rear wheel drive format, the most powerful rear wheel driven Verossa also came with a Supra derived 280hp engine. With it's unique stunning looks, the Verossa is a love it or hate affair, and consumers made their judgement where poor following resulted it being canned in year 2003. However, as always, it now remains as a cult car in Japan, which we supposed JAC Auto of China, one of the most notorious manufacturer in China that's pretty good at creating 'spin offs' decided to have their take on the Verossa, but with fears that Japan might go with another Nanjing 1937, they decided to tweak a little on the rear, with a C-Class. Another amazing believe it or not from China! And no, still no tags for China makes as our form of objection.
