So nice seeing all the generations, I wonder where the GR Corolla would fit since it’s a descendent of the AE86 as well.

Yeah it is! I’m just thinking once the GR Corolla comes out it’ll be similar to a modern version of a Trueno and Levin.

Too bad since the 90's the Corolla's haven't been anywhere near as cool as they were before. At least the new hatch is changing that, the sedan not so much, but it's an improvement.

Anyone notice how much DNA from the 2000GT is in the GR 86?

The 2000gt was the main inspiration for styling on the twins all the way back in 2009. In my opinion it was a smart move because the body lines are timeless.

I am so sold on white. Not going to consider the other colours.

It's crazy how good looking the 2000gt still looks today and how well it looks compared to any European car from that time period.

Gazoo Racing shared these photos of the GR86 lined up alongside a first gen GT86 and the legendaey AE86.

I think I've found my next computer wallpaper. Damn that's a great photo of the three cars!

I actually wish they brought it back as their range topping halo car.

Definitely front fenders and rear window. Whenever I come across a last generation Celica it also always strikes me how similar it looks from certain angles (and a distance)
