Toyota Hachi-Roku
« on: Jul 26, 2012, 03:09PM »
Anyone seen one of these in person yet?

The cheap(ish) RWD coupe is back?  I suppose it will depend on how the aftermarket accessories take off.
Not bad looking, if you like the sleek sporty look.
2.0 Lt 4cyl.
0-100km/h = 7.6sec  so not amazing, but not bad for a stock affordable car.

i've seen a few in the wild as well. haven't touched them or sold wheels to their owners though. i'm not 100% on the looks of the rear end, looks very commodore, my missus was looking at buying one so maybe i'll get to drive one.

i imagine the aftermarket will absolutely take off. the trd gear looks quite nice too. cusco has an lsd and suspension parts out already. i would be very interested in factory turbo options.

I've sat in the back of an '86 test driven by my mate who owned the 1600 datto a while back.

My 'ass' told me it handled better than any car other than his John Cooper works that I've been in... back seat was small :P

Might lease one in a couple of years once all the hype has died down :)
