Why would Toyota be advertising the AE86 in 2007??

[oldeskewltoy]

There is an AE86 advertisement in the April 16th 2007 issue of Autoweek magazine. The advertisement is from Toyota.... and it is titled, "Corolla Drift! When sideways driving was born, the Corolla was there. And still is." It is written like a short article........

Accepting this..... Why would Toyota be advertising a 20 year old car???

perhaps they are planning a little something for us? we can only hope so..

the rumor is that Toyota's thinking of making a small, humble and light RWD car again.

Maybe that has got something to do with it?

Judging from their current policy...after stopping with the mr2, celica and supra chances are very slim they will produce something like a light rwd coupe.

maybe something like the size of a yaris/vitz but then with real wheel drive? rumors sucks

I believe this is something from Toyota USA.
And it was more than a rumor.. :o

Sorry guys, butfor now the only "sport" think toyota is thinking about is that trashy Auris TS with rear 4 link syspunsion and probably a new 1.8 turbo engine...

Still, they ll soon start dealing with smaller cars -since CO2 regulation turns them there- but it's not very possible that they ll make a rwd small car till 2010...

Only an electrical fuelcell rwd powered light coupe would make sense. But then they won't make it sporty I'd guess.
Think this is just something to prove that they were always looking ahead. Marketing thing I guess...

maybe an alchohol powered AE would be a solution for the future i love ecology
