...Awesome. I'd almost, almost want to see a scan of the Filipino sentiment on the ZX (am half Filipino, the top half I think... :lol: Lived at Clark for a year, family comes from Tarlac, can't speak a bit of Tagalog/Capampangan, so I get ripped mercilessly at family gatherings)

I should scan some stuff...

I have a few of these "Car Graphic" magazines lying around:

Image Image Image

Image Image Image

circa early- to mid-80s. I'm definitely going to have to scan a few samples next time I'm up at my folks' (they've got a scanner and I don't)

Pity my Japanese reading skills are atrocious, a lot of the new car tests and concept articles look like they are worth reading :x

The term "macho machine" was used as a tag line for the Corona ad during that time by a female copywriter. So all 2 door Coronas were called as such.

The last 2 door Corona came out in 1981. These cars were seen driven by popular basket ball players since TOYOTA maintained a team for the PBA ( Philippine Basketball Association ).
