Gonna be about 12k in price and very lightweight, I'd buy one especially for a daily beater to have fun in

Meh, I wouldn't believe that they would bring it back. Maybe it's just to stir up interest.

It wasn't too long ago that "so-called" reports were coming out saying that Honda was developing a new CRX. And yet again, nothing ever happened. Instead it's been new designs for the Civic. Predictions that I read into a few years back stated that the CRX would be introduced in 06 or 07.

Haven't heard anything since. Oh well.

I'd rather see the 86 than the CRX, RWD much more fun than FWD

god damn, that thing is hideous.

Looks too much like the Celica.

One guy on the RX8 forums said it looked like a TC and new Civic had sex and that popped out.

[clawhammer]

That thing will probably get 35+ mpg too! I'd buy one if it was available.

[CassiesMan]

Well...at least it looks better than the new 1er. I mean, I love 99% of Banglization to BMWs, but that new 1 series looks like a 3 coupe and a Honda civic had a drunken one night stand, and out popped a kid. With down's syndrome.

Meh...this will probably fall into the same category of the new Supra that was supposed to come out what...four years ago?

[Chiquae07]

if you ask me, looks like it has dodge caliber tail lamps, and the front looks like a mitsubishi FTO mixed with a 350z, but in a celica body, and on the celica chassis. id still rock it though.

'new ae86'



rear of dodge caliber


front of FTO


front of 350z

It does look like a Celica from the rear. I'm not going to get wet over it...

The crx coming back was just a myth based on photoshop and Internet bs.

Where is rice(er)?

I saw this thread a while ago, in reality, I just get tired of saying the same thing over and over again. This is old news from 2000-2001, even to this day, it's still a rumor. Reviving the rwd corolla is the least of Toyota's worries, they have dedication to making hybrid cars because that's where their sales have climbed. There was an article saying how Toyota's hybrids sold more than all of Volkswagen's cars altogether.

If Toyota "did" bring back the rwd corolla, it's pretty much to please die-hard toyota fans a.k.a the sport compact tuning crowd a.k.a mAd TytE DoRiToZ, and at which the_stig or matty stated that we make up very little compared to the rest of the people who buys cars, and that is very true. Therefore, I'll say it again, that reviving the rwd corolla is of Toyota's least worries.

Adding to that, Toyota's "son-of-supra" which will be aiming at the new Nissan GT-R will be more than enough to please the rwd crowd.

93rollaracer, the mk4 supra ran until 2002 in Japan, four years ago would be 2003.

[Mickhail]

The front looks to just be a continuation of the current Toyota styles. The Camry, IS, and GS are have fronts that look like that.

If compared to anything, though, to me it looks like a baby GT-R from the front.

But heck, if they did produce those, I'd definitley get it. Would have infinitley better gas mileage than I'm getting now and it would actually be mine.

Ya mean the 200X Domestic Market Supra that has been coming to the states since '99? Or the 150k Lexus that, if the SC was any indication, no one will buy?
