About Toyota Scepter
Toyota replaced the V20 Camry with the Japanese market-only V30 series in 1990. However, international markets such as Australia and North America received a widened version of the V30, known as the XV10 series. While marginally larger than the V20, the V30 had to comply with Japanese , which restricted the car’s width to 1,700 mm (67 in) and length to 4,700 mm (190 in) for a lower obligation. Particularly in the United States, this narrower model was seen as compromised, thus limiting its sales potential. As a result, the “wide-body” Camry (XV10) released to North America in 1991 was developed from early 1988 and the final design frozen later that year. It was with the XV10 that Toyota upgraded the Camry’s status to its second “world car” after the , with exports starting from Australia to Southeast Asia. Japan also received the wider XV10 model, although it was sold under the Toyota Scepter name there. Toyota chose the name “Scepter” as a reference to the Camry/Crown naming tradition, as a “” is a symbolic ornamental staff held by a ruling monarch, a prominent item of royal regalia. (souce:wiki)<>
