I like the old carina coupes and AE86s, Ke70s etc, but I'd be lying through my teeth if I said I thought they were pretty by conventional standards. Definitely an aquired taste. And they're hugely uninspiring in standard form.

I like the mk4 supra, but OH DEAR GOD LOOK AT THOSE HEADLIGHTS.

SW20s are cool, but they look funny at the back. The driving experience is freaken awesome, the looks... not so much.

TE27s are awesome, but are lacking in performance by todays standards.

I think altezzas look okay, but again, their performance is lacking.

Toyota doesnt really have anything that knocks my socks off. :?

IMO the best car to ever come out of japan is the FD RX7. It's got looks, handling, power, balance, awesomeness.
I'm seriously considering getting one as my next car.


Good stuff :twisted:[/img]

I'd have to say Celica. I dreamed of owning one when I was younger, Watched them in the WRC and my old Ta61 was one of the most fun cars I've ever owned. If I had extra cash to buy a play car I would buy an ST205 or ST185.

MR2's of course! :)
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

At this very moment, id have to say MR2. Ive always loved AW11s, and i think my SW20 is awesome. Altho i have a VERY soft spot for Celicas (mainly ST185s)

I like my W and E chassis'.

And as far as FD vs NSX-R goes, it would have to be NSX-R for sure!

My vote / practicality went with the trusty caldina

Started of my love of toyotas and the 3sgte was when I got a Tamiya RC gt-four Celica in my youngin days from there it grew. First toyota owned was a 1982 Cressida which was a pretty cool skidder and then I got a 1990 gtr celica when I started to work. Looked at the option to get a gt-four but didnt see the point in getting a whale so I looked at the new option of a ST205 Celica or go for a wagon running a 3sgte.... Caldina it was.

For the 2 door coupes the Supra to me are the shizzle and I would own one in a flash but having a dog and probably a 2nd next year I cant see me owning one soon.

Maybe a Supra conversion to the Caldina getting a better power to weight ratio going and getting a RWD wagon could be worth a look into????

Up sides to the wagon as I see them..

Dogs primo, snowboarding primo, helicopters in the snow and grass :lol: , not having to sell your pride and joy when you expand your family, portable motel with a double mattress in the boot.... priceless

Only the old stuff, the newer Toyotas never really appealed to me, bar SW20's. Though I can appreciate features the modern Toyotas all have, I've been a rotary boy for many many years 8)
FD FTW
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

TE27 Levin, saws me a photo of a TE27 Corolla Wagon - I cried a little.

The Celica/Supra was nice, but nothing beats the MKIV.

Except for the ST171 Corona :)
