That's not really true, but even if it were, it wouldn't matter. It still doesn't draw any relationship between them. They weren't designed for the same purpose, don't really share handling characteristics, have considerably different power train designs, look nothing alike and weren't even built by the same company.

The proof of how little alike they are goes right back to Initial D. Nobody would ever consider the current 86 as a shop car for tofu delivery. They certainly weren't selling the Corolla as a track car back when I was a teenager.
