I wouldn't classify things by body style. In the mid-'80s body styles were all over the place. AE86 boxy .... but coming out of the '70's 240z / 280z have their specific type body style , then of course there is the 911 , that body style slightly changes every 5-7 years. The Supra was more on the boxy side in early/mid '80's , but by the MKIII ( 1987?) it got smoother lines, and pop up headlights ( NSX stole that ingredient)
