Ok, is a as follows Toyota platforms are tricky. hard to designate them as such. The platform is not MC it is actually VC. Toyota platforms designate first by engine category. The CV platform has been in use since 1991.

 * I think these cars are based K platform. Ah...how do you think?--春夏秋冬奏慈 (talk) 14:14, 17 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I have removed the Camry and its derivates from the Toyota MC platform article and included them here with the K platform information created yesterday. It is a widely perpetuated myth that the Camry and its derivatives ride on the MC. Camry adopted the K platform with the XV30 in 2001. OSX (talk • contributions) 03:28, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Original two Avalon Generations: Not Based on K-Platform?
Researching into the K platform and its development history, I cannot find any concrete evidence that the XX20 (or even its XX10 predecessor) ever employed the K-Platform. If the XX20 entered production before the Highlander that introduced the K-Platform, how would it have used the K-Platform? I know for certain the XX30 used the K platform, but it appears to have been a completely separate development from the original two, related Avalon programs. 129.210.115.227 (talk) 06:46, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
