AE86 revival rumors, toyota NEEDS this Options

[celicaST]

rumors

they dont need it for money of course, but they need a car like this for people like us. and unlike a new supra (which would have considerable competition), this would sell for sure. toyota would just need to keep it light and cheap. if it was RWD, ~2200-2500lbs, ~150-200hp NA (2zz would be perfect, and maybe a supercharged 2az as an option), hardtop, and < $20k, it would have next to no competition.

and a depiction of what it could look like






edit- other colors added

"Senior factions with Toyota have been keen to bring the car back, but the sales and marketing teams have so far torpedoed it because they can’t believe it would sell."

in the end it all has to make money.

edit: after reading this i was bopping through the net. and came across this photo:

Ford did it with the mustang....y not the celica? The AE86 throwback would be cool, but honestly, an old school celica throwback would be 100% better (looks wise) for power and what not....the AE86 is much better
