Coolest RWD Toyota...that’s not a Supra

Dad had a '78 Celica GT liftback that I loved, so you made me look. I'd take this coupe:

Obvious answer to this question is 2000gt in twilight turquoise. But since that is unobtainable 2nd place would be Sports 800.

MR-S gets my vote.

Never seen one of those, pretty cool!

Lexus IS, and bonus for a 5-speed swapped sportcross

Also, duh, early '70s Crown wagon.

I came here to say Sports 800, but I got beat to the punch. So instead, I'll just go with the electric-hybrid, gas-turbine-powered Sports 800 prototype.

That Crown wagon is pretty cool.  Am I the only one feeling some Mopar vibes in that styling?

Oh yes.

I have a buddy that picked one of those up a year or so ago. I keep proding him to manual swap it. So weird cool.

My vote would be Starlet. I really want to 1u swap one. Or maybe the 70s fastback celica that looks like a burly little mustang.

The early Celicas are just so sexy

How about this?

This also gets my vote.

Coolest? I'm bad at this game. 
 

Most interesting? Supercharged previa. 
 

most iconic? FJ40 (rwd most of the time)

But the only one that'll ever get my money is an 86. And that's not likely. 

For me it would be the Corona Mark II M2 inline 6 & MKII Celica Supra.

AE86 is the coolest RWD Toyota period including the Supra. 

I AWD can count too I guess lol

I only see 2000GT mentioned a couple of times. Is everyone here Sean Connery height?

I was in a room with 3 at Tokyo Megaweb in 2007.

What does GRMS think? Mr-2, Starlet, classic celiac, early corollas, 86, the x-runner, something else? Doesn't have to be the "best" just whatever you think is cool!

Notchback AE86.

Still kicking myself for not buying one for $100 in 1997. 

Group 5 Celica.

Or maybe this other Group 5 Celica.

Or maybe this Group C "Celica" mid-engine prototype.

Really any Group 5, Group C, or IMSA race car is gonna be the coolest version of itself in my book. (Even if it's not really related in any way to the production car.)

Im partial to the AE86 since Ive owned a couple.

The Starlet was RWD?! Great, another rare econo-box I want. It’s a sickness.

In reply to CyberEric :

Until '84, and they sure are rare now.
