| Description |
James, you astonished me with the first comment - it's exactly what you guessed! The replacement for the 128 is... a 1987 Toyota Corona 2.0 VX Coupe. Most of you will look at this and go 'That's a Celica' and essentially, yes it is. However, in the Japanese Domestic Market (a vast and often unfathomable entity) Toyota decided to sell the liftback and convertible as the Celica, and this notchback version - known as the Celica Coupe in all other markets - as the Corona coupe, as there had always been a Corona coupe available alongside the Celica and it appears for this generation Toyota just decided to cut costs and use one of the Celica bodystyles. The only ways to differentiate these from the Celica are that they have fixed headlights rather than the pop-up lights all export Celicas had, as well as more luxurious trim and different, wider taillights - the Corona coupe was seen as a personal luxury coupe as opposed to the Celica's outright sports car status. My car was imported from Japan in 1994 and first registered in Timaru on the 16th of November of that year. It has the biggest 2.0 3S-FE engine (1.6 and 1.8s were also available) and the 4-speed automatic transmission. It's only had 3 owners before me (bar dealers) and has only travelled 196,000 kilometres from new. One hell of a car I think, and it goes extremely well with the only faults being clicking CV joints and slightly juddery rear brakes, and the brake pedal can pulsate quite noticeably under reasonable braking. What do you guys reckon?? |
