Or bin the twins and redo the Celica, or MR2....
Twins 2012 now = 7 years
AE86 = 4 years (Became famous because cheap car to turn into track hack, like a S13)
Celica (progressively got fat and boring)
Gen 1 = 7 yrs (I had a yellow one, it was awesome)
2 = 4 yrs
3 = 4 yrs
4 = 4 yrs (I had a red one, FWD yuck)
5 = 4 yrs
6 = 6 yrs
7 = 7 yrs
MR2
W10 = 5 yrs (I had a white one, dial in snap oversteer fun)
W20 = 10 yrs (more Manga boom time)
W30 = 8 yrs
I couldn't see the MR2 being a thing, way to niche, and competition from the MX5 would be insane, but a new Celica, yeap, I could see that.
My 86 actually reminds me of my old TA22 anyway, much more than the fast back shape of the GT2000, and it looks nothing like a AE86 hatch.
The whole Initial D marketing ploy by the Toyota marketing team to grab the whole Manga and drift generation worked well.
I'm looking forward to finding out what is next, as long at it doesn't get built by BMW, and it also needs to be available with a manual.
My 86 will be around 5 yrs old and due for upgrade in 2021.
A new present from me to me for my retirement maybe?
Until then I'll just keep reading all the "insider" information and other vomit for a LOL.
