Question: When did the luxury division of the company that made Daihatsu Charmant change the body style of the rx 350?

A decade after the 1973 oil crisis, Honda, Toyota and Nissan, affected by the 1981 voluntary export restraints, opened US assembly plants and established their luxury divisions (Acura, Lexus and Infiniti, respectively) to distinguish themselves from their mass-market brands. Some buyers lamented the small size of the first Japanese compacts, and both Toyota and Nissan (then known as Datsun) introduced larger cars such as the Toyota Corona Mark II, the Toyota Cressida, the Mazda 616 and Datsun 810, which added passenger space and amenities such as air conditioning, power steering, AM-FM radios, and even power windows and central locking without increasing the price of the vehicle. <SEP> It was replaced by the Daihatsu Applause. The Charmant was originally a spin-off of the Toyota Corolla of the 1970s; model changes paralleled those of the Corolla. All Charmants were fitted with Toyota inline-four engines, ranging from 1.2 to 1.6 litres. The Daihatsu Charmant is a subcompact sedan built by Daihatsu of Japan, based on the Toyota Corolla. The word "charmant" is French for charming. <SEP> john graham mccrorey (october 11, 1860 – november 20, 1923) was an american businessman who made his fortune as a retailer. mccrorey was the founder of a chain of five and dime stores that bore his name, known as mccrory stores. the company was so named because mccrorey did not want to pay for extra letters on his store signs, and he eventually changed his legal last name to "mccrory" so as to avoid confusion. the first mccrory store opened in scottsdale, pennsylvania in 1882. <SEP> A facelift was designed through late 2010 and patented on 7 January 2011 under design registration number 001845801 - 0004. The facelift was unveiled at the March 2012 Geneva Motor Show with new wheels, interior colors, new head and tail lamps and new grilles. Sales began worldwide in April 2012 for the RX 350 and RX 450h, with sales for the F - Sport variants starting in July of the same year. New LED running lights were introduced as well. The F Sport was introduced, with a honeycomb grille, 8 - speed automatic transmission, and a unique sporty interior. In the US, the new model uses the Lexus Enform telematics system, which includes the Safety Connect SOS system and Shazam tagging. <SEP> automeccanica was a greek automobile producing company. founded in 1979, it was one of the companies that produced the "passenger-utility" type of vehicle popular in greece at the time for tax categorization reasons. its creators were former executives of "autokinitoviomihania ellados" (meaning 'greek car industry') a company founded in 1975 to also produce vehicles of this type – it assembled italian fissore models based on fiat products, as well as other fiat models and variants. automeccanica followed a different path, building the "zebra" model, a passenger-utility car based on the "daihatsu charade", as well as assembling the "charade" itself. in 1985, when the law favoring the "zebra"-type vehicles changed, automeccanica stopped its production (after about 2,000 units had been built) and started licence production of the soviet lada niva model, while it developed its own cabrio-version of the car. in 1988 it acquired its former "father" company, "autokinitoviomihania ellados" and the latter's factory in thiva. automeccanica went out of the car-construction business in 1995.
