Just wanted you to know I resurrected my long-lost Kinja account just to give you a star. I hope others do the same.

Rutledge Wood had the right idea, using a RAV4 lift kit:

+1 for SR5. I’d rock a new Corolla hatch with SR5 badging. Does anyone else think it’s weird that they resurrected the APEX trim level on the US Corolla sedan when it was originally on the JDM Sprinter (aka not a Corolla)?

I was 13 when I went with my parents to buy a Previa. Bought the showroom model (LE, dual sunroof, silverleaf metallic) and everything about it blew my mind. Later that year, I was reading C/D and had that feeling all over again seeing the Toyota Sera, which i never got to see in the flesh until a trip to the UK a…

All of this. I grew up in a Japanese car family and was convinced i would only ever buy Toyotas, but we bought a CPO Golf Wolfsburg last year after driving my sister’s GTI and it’s been way better all around than the Corolla hatchback i was set on buying. In the end, the rear seat/cargo space, overall fit/finish and…

“Did someone call me?”

My first answer would be dad’s 1980 200SX 5MT hatch, if only for the Blaupunkt stereo that had a mic attached. Apparently somewhere in their basement lies a couple cassettes of my sister and me singing our toddler hearts out during road trips; but really, the coolest was the ‘91 Previa. Being cheap immigrants we…

Clicked on the ad for more pics because Lazarblau. Almost missed this important detail. This isn’t the 318i you think it is, it’s the rare AF 318!.

Hoping for a 2-door RAV4, but yeah that isn’t happening. As someone who lives in NYC and street parks a 2nd-gen RAV4, I’d be down with something around that size. But what I really really want is a reincarnation of the Corolla All-Trac wagon.

I work in the neighbourhood. Can confirm this is street parked regularly and is driven by a young student - the one time I saw him park, he hopped out with his Columbia backpack and bolted like he was late for class.
