thats what hes told me and hes been working on them for a long time.
everyone has "a mate who's a 'insert car make name here' mechanic and has been for years."

fact of the matter is, they're a notoriously weak box.

back to the 86 - i'm starting to doubt that it'll be released in australia at all.

The namesake "Sprinter" as seen on the ADM AE86, has a long tradition with Toyota, going back to the early 70's along with the Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno of the TE-27 generation and a few other models inbetween.

judging by the amount of posting here it seems like the interest of this car is dying down just like the possibility of it surfacing

so looks like you guys are going to be driving a hyundai genesis if a lightweight fr is what youre after!!

lol its not going to be released because no one on DC is talking about it? People are still interested in it but there is only so many speculations and theory's that you can talk about. Once some cold hard facts about the car are released people will start talking again.

Last I heard from 7Tune was that it's meant to be debuting at the Tokyo Motor Show in October. If it's there there'll be a LOT to talk about again, if not, well, I think most people will settle down speculation wise.

There's no sign of a Toyota badge on the Altezza- only badge on the car just says 'Altezza'. Its all various marketing ploys.

I hope they don't use Subaru at all. Subbie just took a simple 4cyl engine & made it into something complex and expensive to fix.

It can't be that hard to grab parts from the suspension & engine Depts once you have a chassis decided upon. Look at the little 4WD Tercel- They took Corolla parts from everywhere (except the transfer case) and they built a specialist vehicle in its own right.

I call internet myth bullshit

I doubt we will see anything come out at all and I am guessing even if it does it will be just another boring Toyota that we wont even get in the country anyway.
