At the time of its release, the combination of white body color and high owner saloon was a trend, and Mark II was the center of attention in the city. The office worker wanted to own a high-owner saloon, and the age of Mark II was built.

It had a sashless 4-door hardtop body that emphasized design, and the C pillar was treated with a blackout resin treatment called “Crystal Pillar”.

In 1985, the “GT-Twin Turbo” equipped with a 2.0L in-line 6-cylinder twin cam twin turbo engine was added. There is also a 5-speed MT setting, which became a hot topic.
