Tercel 4wd Wagon. but based on the Corolla Cross but better approach angles and ground clearance - more utiltarian taller and with a larger squared off extended rear wagon with enough room in the back to sleep in. basic / solid interior and better packaging for the hybrid system so that it can still carry a full spare…

Is this the Toyota Gen 5 Hybrid system matched to the boxer? if so it would be interesting to see more pics about how they packaged the electric motor/ generator between the ICE motor and the gearbox as it still seems to run North - South in the photo of the open bonnet in the above article.

The only time a car was awarded a number one hit was an American ex police car in Europe.

Behold - Ford Timelord.

Basically Queensland is our Florida. Sydney is California and Melbourne is Portland, Oregon. Texas is Western Aus and Adelaide might as well be Detroit. Tasmania being Alaska and I have no idea for Nothern Territory.

Drivers licences aren’t that strictly tested compared to most of Europe for instance.

All good my friend. I realise that I have a strong bias to my little Corolla wagon. Full disclaimer - When my fiance got cancer and passed away I had no money left as we tried every treatment available around the world for her. I ended up living out of my Wagon off and on inbetween sleeping on friends couches this car…

I’m in Australia mate. My fully optioned wagon ended up being $64,000 dollarydoos in todays money that ends up being $44,266.88 United States Dollar

If you are concerned only about the badge on your car I guess this car isn’t for you. There is a Lexus version coming soon.
But in all seriousness my 1988 Corolla 4wd Wagon cost about that in todays money and compared with that this GR Corolla is a bargain.

Came here to write this also keep it plaid upholstery with a manual but with a new hybrid system including a battery that can power your fridge overnight.

That makes sense as Tercel 4wds actually 50/50 weight distribution like an E30 3 series. but with half the power. Never lift the throttle mid corner!

I’ve always loved wagons too.

Toyota Tercel 4wd. Still love them so much 80's goodness and I finally got one in about 2001 - and it was as awesome as I had hoped driving over the dunes in South Australia and mostly keeping up with Landcruisers and Foresters.

VW Vanagons come pre squated from the factory.

Also bested by my man Riley in his VW T3 Syncro Vanagon

Looks like clouds of rust coming out of it at impact as well as I believe they salt the highways in some parts of Germany.

Mark 2 Toyota MR2 is better looking than whatever these things are.

For pretty well anywhere else in the world it is.

Toyota. The Rocky Balboa of car companies.
They worked hard to go from nowhere after WW2 to push every other affordable car company to at least consider reliability. Made a great run of interesting cars in the 80's. They died into beige conformity when the Japanese bubble economy swan dived into Tokyo Bay. But now with…

No worries about parts mate!. We can overnight parts from Australia!

They almost showed some sort of humanity on the Vietnam special apart from that it was really hit/miss and cringe.

Not an issue with the Turbo motors. Just the NA versions.
