RUMOR OF THE DAY: AE86 to make a come back?

Just like the undying rumor of a Honda CRX return every couple seasons, the Toyota Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno/AE86 has a similar cycle. This time coming from the Japanese magazine, Best Car. The "AE86" is slated for a Winter 2008 debut. Boasting a 120hp engine and under 2200lb weight, this car is set to be an affordable lightweight compact RWD car - the likes of what we haven't seen since the Miata debuted. Interesting note from the article is that the car would sport a RWD system from Heavy Fuji Industries a.k.a. Subaru. Anyone else see the Scion Fuse in the sketch? Hmmmm, I think I'll believe this when I see the car in showrooms. It's only a year away...

AE-86 Return?

  1. It’s worth keeping an eye on http://7Tune.com as well. Those guys had this news quite a while ago, and submitted it to a number of sites without receiving any credit. It’s a dodgy ol’ world out there!
