To be honest with you, I don't think it's that nice. I've seen a lot better. But they are great cars, I'm a big Toyota fan. LOL
yeah it need a bit of body work, but its even got the watanabi wheels ^_^

Same here.
Looks crap.
is this car just "hot" for everyone cuz of its fame from Initial D? My nephew swears by this car and I don't understand the logic behind it. We usually get into a discussion about it and I seem to always miss the love when it comes to this ride.
Meh
Unless it has a super duper turbonic blastin piston nitrous energiser, i dont see the pandemonium over this car.

well yeah, a lot of the love for this car comes from initial d. But it was such an awesome performer of its time, considering price. A cult car, some people understand it, some people dont. i can see where were people are coming from when they know nothing about it and judge it based on looks... its not exactly stunning to look at. But if you look at it from the perspective of its history, its an amazing car. And the whole drift thing makes it arguably "the" car for drifting (i really wouldn't know but i hear it everywhere)
The beauty of a car based on the physical appearance and its performance is entirely subjective.

Whats Initial D ?
To each their own.
I don't like this car because of Initial D, I don't even like Initial D. After seeing Keiichi Tsuchiya drive and drift one and him continually bragging about what the car could do, I did more research on it and found that it had a lot of potential.
that car has near perfect weight distribution, is very light and with minor modification can make a fair amount of power. plus they're cheap.
I am sorry, but that is one butt ugly car. It's 2005, not 1989.

agree anyways this car reminds me of the tofu white car of the guy at initial d.
Thats because it is that same car.
yanman, how can you hate this car BECAUSE of inital d? Initial D's one of the greatest anime's ever, and the 4th season's making the show even better
I've seen a Hachi with acutal Trueno Badging with C-F Hood.. and it's Panda white.. in good condition with Watanabe's. 
That is pretty clean. Always got love for the AE86! 
But this one...probably the cleanest AE86 I've seen. Makes me want one so bad.

Would really kill for a sorted white AE86.. yes, inspired somewhat by Initial D but there is no denying how damn awesome they look.. and drive!

Yep. I especially love the CF/black with red.
AE86s are great basic cars. they come with a good amount of power and balance and with minor modifications it handles fantastically. Im not personally fond of the body style but I have respect for what it can do. Its not the most powerful car but for its time it was great. a mid 90s 240sx can beat it easily in speed but they are about par when it comes to handling. as far as bang for your buck, the 86 is pretty good.
But honestly, you have no idea until you drive one. If you drive one and still think its crap, then well talk.

Doesnt look all that great to be truthful 
I agree this car is not all tha great looking cause whos ever it is didnt take care of it, but one you drive it and realise its potential you could fall in love with it. The drift king Tsuchi (not sure how to spell) really loves it, granted i fist saw it in Initial D the arcade and thought it was awesome, when i drove one in real livfe, i realised it was awesome.

LOL Man, you gotta read my post again, I don't hate this car, I like it, but the fact that I like it isn't because of Initial D, I am one of the few who don't like Initial D. Did that make more sense? LOL
don't really see how anybody could not like initial d, except maybe the fact you know takumi's gonna win 99% of his races. I like how his dad just bought an impreza and forces takumi to drive it half the time and how takumi realises it's far better than what he's getting out of the ae86
somebody please tell me u are all joking
there's the dent near the right door. that ruined it for me.

trust me, they're serious and they'll kill you if you mess with them. my cousin is hardcore about this Initial-D stuff and he takes it personally.
this isnt about initial D, its about teh AE86 and how awesome of a car it is. ^_^

Um...it's a crappy Celica. Can someone please educate me on why this piece of crap is so desireable? It's ugly as sin.
Dude my expectations for this topic were very high.. then I entered and all I saw was a car that looked distinctively like the tin man from Wizard Of Oz.
Ugly!
Personal view, I could of kept this to myself but I felt that I needed to post because you forced me with your Back To The Future impersonation.

It's actually a Corolla, and each to their own opinion.

Doh...Even worse, then.
acura are nice
now thats what i call a bomb, no offence or anything but 
to that car
to that car
umm...the reason we like the car's not really about the looks. try driving one HARD, it can handle a lot better than most other vehicles. It's recognised as being one of the best if not the best car for drifting
whats so great about that car.. i think its ugly.

Its a cult car, and is waaay more capable than it lets on. Think what kinds of machines other countries were producing when this car came out. Take America for example.. big, heavy, tail happy V8's.. this little AE86 would eat cars like that for breakfast on the track. I watched a 'Best Motoring' video with a sorted AE86 wasting a sorted R34 Skyline down a winding back road type circuit! All that technology and probably double the power in the Skyline and it got blitzed.. thats why the AE86 is a great car.
Quite frankly i'm glad that not everyone likes it.. people who don't know cars tend to just completely miss the truely great stuff. Case in point.

yeah R34 VS Hachi Roku was awesome.. Tsuchyia was basically on his tail.. like soooo damn close...
lower it, put roof and hood scoop on, pimp the rims, spray black and put a long vinyl on it, will look ok

I wouldn't assume my knowledge of vehicles because I've never heard of a 'cult' vehicle. It basically makes you look bad. I simply asked for some history behind this thing.
America made crappy cars. That's not front page news. I just find it funny that people are fawning over this (in my purely honest opinion) really really ugly car. You may have the handling of a ferarri, but people still poke fun at you from the sidewalks.
To me the only car from that period that looks remotely attractive is the 8-series beemer. And maybe the M1 cos it's just... mythical. But 8-series all the way!
There are heaps of them around here. I'm not sure what engine comes stock in it, but almost every one I have seen has a 4AGZE (supercharged MR2 engine), with the supercharger taken out and a turbo bolted straight in. They are not considered fast, although they are very light. A guy around here put a moderatly modified RB25 into his Sprinter, it ran a 10.02 on street tyres.
if any of you people that don't like the old ae86 happen to see one for sale around the traps, seeing as you wont be buying it, could you let me know?
