Maybe Subaru & Toyota are working with gotitRex out of Australia to give it a crazy redline.
:wow:

My validity on the following comment holds as much value as a fart in the wind.
I heard Toyota is bringing back the Celica and MR2. |

No, they're renaming the 86 the Celica like it should have been initially.

Well, you can get a new 4wd Camry next year.
If they get around to packing in the Yaris drivetrain, wouldn't take all that much. Right? LOL Link:

Can't tell if sarcastic or not. While the Celica nameplate was obviously around longer than the AE86 generation of Corolla's, the AE86 is far and away more popular and well known than any of the best Celica's. I highly doubt the Celica's long lasting nameplate would've mattered to the masses in regards to sales from name recognition. The car's (ZN6) birth really did sprout from how surprised Toyota was at the lasting popularity of an, at the time, 20 year old econo chassis. They reached out to the AE86 communities, including Club4AG, to see what they liked, and would like changed, etc. It is in this spirit the car was developed. Of course, it is by no means a direct successor to the AE86. It wouldn't be one to the Celica either, for that matter. |

This was very true 20 years ago. I'd say for at least the past decade, you weren't really "in the scene" of imports if you didn't at least know what an AE86 was. The recognition was spurred by a combination of Drifting becoming a main stream import sport, and Initial D being released stateside. I'd say the AE86's popularity was dependent on both factors. One of the biggest boons to its popularity was the fact that the first D1 held in the U.S., an exhibition, was won by Ueo Katsuhiro, easily the most well known AE86 D1 driver, probably ever. That car was front cover and center on basically all the tuner mags afterwards. |
