The Toyota Mark II, initially known as the Toyota Corona Mark II, was a popular compact to mid-size sedan manufactured by Toyota in Japan from 1968 to 2004. It was later exported and sold as the Toyota Cressida in various markets between 1976 and 1992, spanning four generations. Manufacturing took place at the Motomachi plant in Toyota, Aichi, Japan until 1993, and later at Toyota Motor Kyushu’s Miyata plant until 2000, with some models also produced in Indonesia and the Philippines as the Cressida. The front-wheel-drive Avalon eventually succeeded the rear-wheel-drive Cressida in North America.
