Ohh, Toyota Cavalier

[Johnny]

You heard right. lol Why ohh why would Toyota do this. Back in 1996.

Guess how many they sold?

Now I know why I see so many riced out Cavaliers. It's JDM FOOOL

[tallblondkid]

"a new form of luxury" bahaha

i find it odd that they would do this when they have the altis (corolla)

Memories, I once had a 98' Arctic White Z24. That 2.4L must have been a gas guzzling pig in Japan.

the steering wheel is on the right side...

in japan they like to do USDM things (plastic unpainted bumpers being one of the main things) Someone probably bought some usdm plates (for the look of a usdm chevy) or had some fakes made in japan.


but why they would have cali plates in the magazine article is beyond me

[EggShellSi]

uhhh, take a look at where the steering wheel is my friend...

A lot of ads for JDM-only cars have California plates. I don't know why, I guess they want to make them look cool. Honda does this a lot.

Probably a deal they had worked out with GM so GM could sell rebadged Corollas as Geo Prizms.

[ecsahs3]

I remember reading somewhere that the Geo Storm also had the 4-age motor from the corolla/mr2 or something like that...

LOL i used to drive a sunfire waaaay back in the day (had to be better than my moms station wagon right?) and some of the guys i knew would get shit like toyota tail lights and the front bumper for the cavalier cus it was different than stock but not a huge ugly ass body kit.
