Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is 35 years old this August 2023. The country’s top automaker in terms of sales is celebrating this milestone in typically spectacular fashion, ranging from promos on its latest models to its two-day Toyota GAZOO Racing Festival at the Quirino Grandstand. We take a look at five of the Japanese company’s most iconic vehicles since 1988. But why not cars from before this year? The pre-Cory years First, a little history lesson.
