User:Bolkhov/Toyota Medium FF platform

Toyota Medium FF platform is an automobile platform for family cars (C-class and D-class cars) from Toyota. It is often called "Corolla platform" and "Avensis platform" after its main applications.

Medium FF platform has preempted both Corolla "E" platform (used for C-class cars) and Corona/Avensis "T" platform (used for D-class cars). It was a part of Toyota's plan to cut costs, which included reduction of different car platforms.

Together with NBC and Camry platforms it is a mainstay of Toyota product line.
