The 1980 Toyota Cressida, Toyota's luxury sedan, did not change for the model year. This would be the last year of the car's first generation.

The 1980 Toyota Cressida came as a wagon or a sedan. It had a 2.6-liter, 115 horsepower six cylinder. Some of the standard features included air conditioning and an AM/FM/cassette player with an amplifier, both of which were unusual standard features for the times. The 1980 Cressida came standard with an automatic transmission, but a five-speed manual was also available.

There are still 1980 Cressida drivers out there who swear they never want another car. Owners like the car's appearance inside and out; its smooth, quiet ride; and its reliability. Some wish the car had more power, and others have reported problems with rust.
