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.

Welcome to the forum @jenvald07

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.

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.

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)

I love these photos of the old AE86 running next to the GR86 but it makes me wonder…… when the GR Corolla comes out where will it fall in the legacy? In spirit, yes the GR86 is similar to the AE86 as far as layout and purpose. Yet the GR Corolla is ACTUALLY a Corolla that will have its lineage trace all the way back to the AE111 and even Toyota Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno (ae86). In a way the two would become the new Levin/Sprinter which would be cool.

If you look at 1983 Corollas they look nothing like Sprinter Truenos and Levins. I think Trueno and Levin were a specific type of sportscar and the original Corolla was pretty much your normal family small sized sedan. Like what you have now with a regular Corolla and a 86. So I think the way of thought is that if GR modded a family sedan into a sportscar would get you the GR Corolla and the GR86 evolved from the Truenos and Levins. That's my theory lol.

I can see that but also where the 86 is a direct successor in a way the GR Corolla is the Heir to the throne you could say from its DNA, because whether we admit it or not those old sprinters are still Corollas the GR86 has Impreza dna. It’s interesting and cool we get both
