Singapore people too rich already. No need play fake LV or rolex, play Mercs amg/g series, bmw m sports.

See la, always blame gomen but never see how rich people are

some of the replicas like Rims inspired by the big brand names are pretty good quality.

This is not the AE86 many are familiar with. During that era, many Japanese firms like to market the same product (with minor cosmetics tweak) using different names. I used to work in the R&D department for a Japanese chemical manufacturer, and the formula I developed was sold in Japan, Korea, Australia & Singapore under 3 different product name / code.

OK back to Toyota, the one you posted should be the Corolla Levin GT (2 door)

 toyota_corolla_levin_gt-apex_2-door_25_0

toyota_corolla_levin_gt-apex_2-door_9.jp

which was also marketed as Sprinter Trueno (2 door) with a popping headlight.

toyota_sprinter_trueno_gt-apex_2-door.jp

The 3 door variant (liftback) was marketed as Corolla Levin 3 Door and Sprinter Trueno.

autowp.ru_toyota_corolla_levin_gt-apex_3

autowp.ru_toyota_corolla_levin_gt-apex_3

toyota_sprinter_trueno_gt-apex_3-door_4.

toyota_sprinter_trueno_gt-apex_3-door_28

If that is not confusing enough, Toyota also name the model as Corolla Sport Coupe / Corolla GT (2 door) and Corolla Liftback Coupé (3 door) when selling them in different countries / region. 

OK, end of lesson. Time to sleep...

engine at the rear like sport car too

i+engine+back+1.0.jpg

The drive is quite engaging and the MR setup (mid-rear engine + rear wheel drive) make the car feel more spacious than the other Kei car, BUT the brake is horrible + terrible. I literally have to stand on the brake to bring the car to stationary (from <60 Km/h) during a test drive (new car), and thereafter scrap my plan to get it for my wife.
