Very nice!! just need Nissan to follow suit with the S16 ..... a man can dream cant he?

A dream car!
I want to have it!

It looks like...nothingness. Don't have anything against Toy, but their cars are just so bland. With the Camry and Corolla it makes sense because they are mainstream cars but this is supposed to be a sports car, a car that evokes some excitement. It does nothing for me, and if you remove the T badge I would be confused, I wouldn't know what car company made it. Its blandness would tell me that its Jap, so that narrows it down to Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Suzuki, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Daihatsu???? The Mustang, Camaro, Challenger trio are all much more exciting for me that this..thing. Compliments to the fact that it pays homage to the original..just as bland that is. (By the way, I'd guess that the older one is a Nissan/Datsun and the newer is a Mazda)

In regards of the previous comments:
Aesthetics aside, that car sounds promising as In terms of providing a great rwd platform at an extremely affordable price. As in terms of comparing that car to a entry level mustang, camaro, and challenger, one could obtain an equally performing car for the same price not the $12-13k price quoted from the posting for the ae86,originating of any import or domestic availability. (for example the 25-30k price range of a 2008 Challenger) in terms of application of car: curvaceous mountain driving, long highway lanes, local drag strip, city intersection, local autox, or any other venue or type of driving/racing imaginable.) The right tool for the right application. As in terms of judging its exterior appeal, that sounds like a personal decision, which is completely entitled to you. Personally, I think the new dodge challengers fall short of the cars the donned the original monikers. In fact, I would agree upon critiquing a majority of stock cars, performance or economic, have a rather dull appeal. But when one discovers the cars
abilities and short comings, it sometimes adds a different perspective on how the car appeals to a person in its aesthetics exclusively. Also, your ineptness to discern between the different models of those eight Japanese based manufacturers you mentioned above serve a great basis in critical critique of the cars exterior appeal!

Plus, yeah the new Ae86 is quite a sexy little beast. Going to be fun finding all the usable power in the Corolla. Will those legendary monikers of Sprinter/Levin going to be continued with the new Ae86?

you got it all wrong commodore. the ae86 was never and never will be a sports car. that wasnt ever the intention. that's just the catagory it got placed in. it still is going to be the underpowered little rwd gocart the old ones were. i do have to agree on the mild styling of the car though. i, as an ae86 guy, was not to impressed, but just that fact that they are bringing it back! you wouldn't catch me dead in a mustang! god, those ponies are terrible. ford ruined that car.... although i do like the chargers and challengers... hmmm... but for a third of the price of some of those american cars i bet i could have that bland little toyota machine kickin the balls of your "new american muscle" machines. straight-line and corners. (well corners are a given when your talking japanese vs american)

cool please do it toyota i am tired of good but boring stuff. and please make it turbo ready

cool. affordability, style,performance, i think that economy too, the only thing i think it needs is a turbo ready engine

I want it... Hopefully it has the GE head, and RWD oh and for the love of god a 6-speed fully manual gear box... and none of that vsc or abs garbage...

I think it looks great, RWD, the GE head and a 6-speed please!

That a beautiful car... Maybe can be advise NOT to make the back of the car like celica. Have more aerodymanic like the supra one....

Cheers...

Man.
thats all i can say
MAN!
a new Hachi Roku....
i have seriously just ruined my pants reading this article.
i will buy one of those install a t.v./dvd and watch every single Initial D episode.
PAINT IT PANDA! damn, that would be so shmexy
hell buy a new one and an old one park them side by side and let them be friends.
Hey whats up Hachi Roku.
Hey dude, are you new, you look so new and sexy.
I'm a Hachi Roku too :D
Get outta here!
Nope, really a new AE86 for the world.
Awesome.
Toyota you are my god and savior for making this car.

cool. please toyota do it i'm tired of boing cars, i want some spice and a turbo ready engine (and as economical as before)

Why you people want a 6 speed trany, when you want power and performance you get it at 3rd or 4th gear. But, will be funny drive that little car side by side whit a mustang or Challenger for 1/3 of its price, and everybody knows Toyota's quality

aiways wanted aAE86 but never got around 2 owning 1,2 have a brand new car like dis it would be ta bussiness it would be great 2 have abit more power than ta 120bhp just we all not modifed heads.please toyota tell me ya can get it thought a main dealer and is comming 2 ireland.keep ta dream alive
