    New AE86?

    http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/01/r...-more-details/



    If it comes out ....

    Bad news: 120hp

    Good news: less than 2200lbs, ~$12.5k sticker

    Sounds like a fun daily driver to me that would get pretty good gas mileage

        And if it came out (at that price), picture the ride height two inches higher, the optional alloy wheels two inches smaller and some nasty crash-test friendly bumpers on all but the most optioned out cars.

          if it looked like that, and had the potential for a bit more power.... (celica GTS engine swap, or some crazy 20V engine to plop in there :p)

          i'd rock it in a heartbeat.

              tC is front drive, and much heavier. i can see the resemblance though.

                Wow, cheap RWD car. + more power (I am sure they'll have a TRD SC or Turbo out for it) = Fun . It's not bad looking either.

                Unless they make it FWD lol.
