I wish Toyota was still as cool as they were in the 90s.

[@audiwankenobi361]

They just as cool, you just have to grow with them.

[@rossagge]

@@audiwankenobi361 They're nice cars/trucks, just not "cool" anymore. Toyota hasn't make anything cool that is driver focused and has any originality since the 90's. Don't get me wrong, I love Toyota. I own an 18 4Runner TRD OR. I think the truck/body on frame line is where the coolness ends. Can't beat the reliability of any of their cars, but the current coupes and saloon cars are just like everything else out there these days. No more wow factor the likes of a Celica GT-Four or any of the Supra's and cool Corollas like this one. The new "cool" F-86 and new Supra aren't original, no uniqueness. Shared with Subaru and BMW...the only growing is I guess they are "grown up" cars now. :)

This channel makes me appreciate these cars that I grew with. Saw them daily in Jamaica, but now in the states....videos like this make me miss them.

[@levin2252]

Wah yah Jamaican

[@ingineous]

@King Zak bahahaha bruh lol

[@cemcyy3562]

Same fam

[@John-mf6ky]

Funny how that works, isn't it?

[@gordonburrell413]

Man I'm jamaican I used to run to the veranda as a child when I used to hear this white Levin passing sounding so good...now I'm searching on line cause I want to buy one

[@ryancuffy358]

We love them in the Caribbean back in the days and still love em today

[@projectdriven4493]

This car belongs to my friend Will. This car is still alive and doing well here in NC. Looks exactly like this still and he takes it to the local 80s and 90s car show called TriangleRAD and he drives it almost daily👍

[@ericpecana5892]

I still have this jdm ae92 levin same body , same engine but not supercharger.. all original all powered and electronic suspension very reliable fun to drive.. i think and some people told im the only one who have this levin here in Edmonton Canada.. I'm very happy and appreciate to have this little car.. 😊

[@smartiboi]

My neighbour daily drove a USDM with the pop-up headlights for about 20 years until it died. Fantastic looking car. They don't make 'em like they used to.

[@urlilsolja]

Always excited seeing a new video come from this channel on my feed!

[@ronanmcnamee2008]

Had one of these, Really cool sleeper car that was easy to get more to out of, There were 4 different versions of the 4agze, some of the later ae92s and the newer ae101s had the 165hp version the rest had 145hp.

[@The_One_Over_There]

i'd paint the rims satin black, lower it a little but only a little. other than that, it could use a repaint but no different color. and then you have a awesome great clean looking car in my eyes

[@jerrybillings3039]

Well the thing is, the red/black is the original color scheme for that particular set of wheels. They did come in other colors, but as for the set on this car, the red/black is exactly how they should be, painting them would likely lower the value on a rare set of wheels.

[@rangitait6167]

I own one!! Had it for 5 years now mine has the 20V blacktop in it with 30ks on the motor!! Been off the road for 3years but getting her on the road tomorrow very excited!!

[@cameronlovesevolve]

I've got a news paper clipping on my fridge that says "nostalgia is not a viable route forward". But really ya gotta love it

[@dub_cub8936]

That has to be the most famous tree in Japan, it’s bound to be noted on google maps any day now

[@matthewadkins9810]

I absolutely LOVE these and wish Toyota had offered the Levin and Trueno versions in the US all the way to the end, such fun cars!

[@brittonwritespoetry]

These are awesome and very underrated cars criminally overshadowed by it's predecessors. Very popular and very beloved in Jamaica and the wider Caribbean. Unfortunately most of them have crashed and they are a rare sight on the roads in decent shape. The Sprinter Trueno version has pop up headlights and look just as cool. They have very interesting bucket seats. Like many other cars,US safety regulations ruined their looks. The Corolla GTS of this generation had those hideous oversized bumpers.

[@jimmy19736]

i owned the super charged version of the trueno, my first car, in fact i learned to drive it, very fast and fun to drive...

[@sammusyoki6814]

I have Trueno in good shape....can share video.

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

I have the exact same seats coming in a few days. Not in the same condition but it is what it is.

[@tharmas13]

Think they made 165 PS, with 206 NM torque and only 1070 KG of weight isn't to shabby, specialy at that time.

[@levin2252]

Yep that's right wow u know a lot about these Levins

[@tharmas13]

@@levin2252 Can't take to much credit. You can find a lot of info on the internet. Like Derek often says, google it to be sure 😊

I hate that we didn't get this in the states, one of my favorite Corolla bodystyles.

[@takumifugiwara8028]

I have this now here in Philippines

[@sirawesomemcdouglas5720]

Another beautiful levin❤

[@WolfrCats]

I was bummed not seeing the curvy Levin Corolla. Those I would assume are either extremely rare or just common and are very underrated. I kind of like them but they have much of a modern BRZ characteristic to it. *Edit* hence the AE111

[@urlilsolja]

Yeah they're rare, i've seen more GTR's while in japan lol.

[@rocckstar187]

Omfg is that green gloria gunna be on the channel???

The front LHS fender is a different shade of paint

[@GC8JamaicaLifestyle]

@Pacificcoast Auto.....I have never seen you buy a EP82 Toyota Starlet GT....those cars are underated

[@PacificCoastAuto]

We have bought a few but no videos of them. They are popular for the smaller race tracks in Japan.

[@GC8JamaicaLifestyle]

@@PacificCoastAuto I currenty own one in Jamaica.....and it's a car whats is getting harder to find a clean one.....but it's tons of fun when it's running right...they just don't make cars like these again 😌

[@RackaApps]

About 10 years ago my father sold his super charged AE92 for peanuts and now they are like 10 times more expensive than what he sold his for

[@PacificCoastAuto]

It's sad isn't it

[@SteampunkDream]

I want one of these might plan on picking one up eventually. I currently a 91 GT-S and love it to death but it has it's fair share of issues because the past owners didn't take care of it well other than keeping it away from Minnesota winters.

[@PacificCoastAuto]

The 1991 GT-S is rare even with issues. Hold onto it and take care. That's a car you will never see in 5 years.

[@SteampunkDream]

@@PacificCoastAuto oh yeah I want to get it back to its original paint it has only minor rust on pinch welds and small scratches. I just fixed its missfire last weekend. Needs new pads and rotors all around but for 900 dollars and being in minnesota its pretty clean still. Plus it has 164k miles on it so its less than most cars its age.

[@gregoryballestero4369]

The supercharger would have made up for the front drive format *here in the states Edit: this is a great daily driver can have a lil fun when your not in traffic

Loll they're very fast but love speed bumps for liftoff 😂🤣,

[@nigelmccure6640]

These cars are excellent classics from the past wonderful days when Japan made great cars and now they suck at making cars I just actually hope that one day Japan gets it all together again and then start building fabulous cars all over again just like the 60s 70s 80s 90s and 2000s and now the Koreans are killing the market now because the Koreans have surpassed the Japanese all together but hopefully Japan will definitely fight back and start building great cars all over again
