First Generation
1980 Charmant Wagon |
First presented in November 1974, the A35 Charmants, based on earlier Corollas, were normally equipped with 1,166 cc engines producing 66 PS (SAE) and 1,290 cc engines producing 72 PS (SAE) at 5,200 rpm. This type of engines were coded as 3K (1.2L) and 4K (1.3L) Toyota engines and came with a four- or five-speed manual transmission, as well as a two- or three-speed automatic option. The 88 PS (SAE) 1,588 cc overhead valve 2T engine was also available from 1978 on; this could also be ordered with a three-speed automatic with overdrive. There was also a 1.4 litre engine available, offering 86 PS (SAE).
Unique to the first generation, a station wagon was also available. This was called "Van" in the Japanese domestic market, where it was classed as a commercial vehicle.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“Most women of [the WW II] generation have but one image of good motherhood—the one their mothers embodied. . . . Anything done “for the sake of the children” justified, even ennobled the mother’s role. Motherhood was tantamount to martyrdom during that unique era when children were gods. Those who appeared to put their own needs first were castigated and shunned—the ultimate damnation for a gender trained to be wholly dependent on the acceptance and praise of others.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“There may perhaps be a new generation of doctors horrified by lacerations, infections, women who have douched with kitchen cleanser. What an irony it would be if fanatics continued to kill and yet it was the apathy and silence of the medical profession that most wounded the ability to provide what is, after all, a medical procedure.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
