October 19, 200520 yr I love photos like this, they make me laugh. I remember seeing one of a Silverado on top of a Civic, that one didn't fare so well.
October 19, 200520 yr Hello, bright boys....that's actually a Carina, a much bigger car. Tercels weren't even sold in Europe.
October 20, 200520 yr That would depend on which generation Tercel you are talking about. The fact that this sedan is biger then the 3-series should be a big clue this is a Carina though. The L-series Tercel/Corsa/Corolla II were subcompacts originally based on the E8 Corolla/Sprinter, and positioned between the slightly bigger Corolla and the P-series Starlet. While successive E-series models got bigger, the L-series shrank slightly, until it was dumped in favor of new-generation P-series models starting with the Vitz/Echo. The Carina was a sister car to the Corona and Celica, after a long run renamed Allion for the latest generation (the Corona became the Premio). In Europe it was replaced by the larger Avensis. These vehicles are part of Toyota's T-series, along with the Caldina (successor to the Carina and Corona wagons) and the Scion tC. Interesting former variants include the Corona (later Curren) coupes (fixed-headlight versions of the the notchback Celica), and the much sexier, longer, lower Carina ED and Corona EXiV hardtop sedans (also based on the Celica's shorter wheelbase).
