LongDucDong 02-05-2010, 08:13 AM Two old-school classics square off in today's battle. Toyota AE86 (Trueno): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RedCorollaTrueno.jpg vs Ford Escort MK2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ford_Escort_RS1800_-_Race_Retro_2008_03.jpg LongDucDong 02-05-2010, 08:14 AM This was a tough poll for me. LOL I had to go with the AE86 though. I love the old classic lines, the boxy dashboard, the RWD setup, and the tuneability of the chassis. I love the MK2 as well, but I think the AE86 is better looking. ZX4STDoug 02-05-2010, 08:23 AM Tough one too, but for pretty much the same reasons you gave, the Toyota got my vote. Peregrine 02-05-2010, 08:45 AM I had to choose the MK2 just because it's lines are closer to a Datsun 510, but I do love the Trueno tho. wrc_fan 02-05-2010, 09:27 AM Like the AE86, but I like rally cars more! kjsoccerdude 02-05-2010, 09:58 AM Had to go with the AE86. Not sure why, just didn't like the MKII much. Malibooya 02-05-2010, 11:37 AM Like the AE86, but I like rally cars more! Didn't Toyota enter the AE86 in some form of rally at one point? I'd love an AE86. There was one left in Staten Island a few years back, with 60K miles in MINT condition. Classic story, owned by an old lady. I was going to buy it when I was 16, but the owner traded it in for a new Corolla, thinking the AE86 would be crushed. I bet some lucky mofo at the dealership took it home, I know I would've. And it was a panda. [mecry] CaptainChaos! 02-05-2010, 02:09 PM AE86 here too. I've always had a soft spot for them, and my buddy had one in high school. mjd4277 02-05-2010, 02:57 PM This was a tough call. But I went with the AE86 because they were actually sold here(albeit in a different form) so parts aren't a problem. SVTflyer03 02-05-2010, 03:59 PM I voted mk2 ChrissyL 02-05-2010, 06:05 PM Mk II for me. I have a fondness for Escorts, having owned one since '92. Good, solid, honest little cars. wrc_fan 02-05-2010, 06:56 PM Didn't Toyota enter the AE86 in some form of rally at one point? They may have, I'll have to look that up, you can't argue with the MKII's impact on rallying though. MisterJohnson 02-05-2010, 09:36 PM Not a fan of that Toyota body style. Escort got my vote Scoobster 02-05-2010, 11:57 PM Escort for me, AE86 never really sold me... idk Initial D wasn't even good enough to win me over. steve35svt 02-06-2010, 07:19 PM Prefer the look of the AE86. itbrti 02-08-2010, 04:29 PM cant vote, but I am a drifter at heart, so the AE86 for me. | |
