The new article goes into some detail of the new car’s spec. Under 4m long and 1.7m wide, it’s pretty low at 1.35m tall, and engineers have been directed to keep weight below 1,000kgs. Power will come from a 1.5L 2NZ-FE good for 120 horsepower. What has been unknown until this time is where Toyota would source a cheap RWD drivetrain, but _Best Car_ has learned that it will come from new partner Fuji Heavy Industries - better known to you and me as Subaru. > And the best news of all? The committee’s final directive is to keep the new car’s sticker price below 1.5million Yen.

I’m good with it keeping the name just because they are staying true to the roots by keeping it around the same power to weight ratio. It won’t differ much specification-wise (weight and power at least) it seems. ---

[quote=“Bigairskier1580,post:13,topic:33285"”] It won’t differ much specification-wise (weight and power at least) it seems. [/quote] But why not AE87 or something similar to that? Had they kept making them throughout all these years, then obviously the name should stay. But it’s just not the same car. From Wiki > For the purpose of brevity, the insider-chassis code of “AE86” is used to describe the whole range. In classic Toyota code, the “A” represents the engine that came in the car (the 4A) **and the E86 represents the 6th revision of the fifth generation ([E80 series](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla#Fifth_generation_.E2.80.94_E80_series_.E2.80.94_1983)) of the E model which is the Corolla.** ---

Yeha, but for marketing purposes, AE86 will sell so much better. Retro sells these days. See FJ Cruiser. ---

It’s not like the AE86 was such a hit when it first came out :gotme: And it didn’t really help the GTO 🙂 [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2010-ae86/33285.md?page=2)
