I had no idea this was made. Anyone know more about it? Anyone owned one?

Its amazing how Toyota had all these sporty offerings and went to none!

Who would buy "greenish yellow mica" ?
Sounds like a bodily discharge, like "I'm sorry to inform you that you have greenish yellow mica oozing out of your ***..."

That looks a lot like a Paseo. Maybe a Euro or Japan market Paseo?

Got em before the Mclaren F1 did too. I think the Alfa 33 would have been the only car to use these doors before Toyota

Both are based on the EP82 Starlet. make for nice quick back mountain road runners with GT starlet turbo engine.
Driven, but never owned one.

I remember a family friend had a Sera in Hong Kong. I was very impressed with the doors.

My girlfriend is from Hong Kong and just told me that one of her family members over there had one of these and it was very nice.

I'm amazed that was brought to market with those doors and its not an exotic.

looks like an old Toyota Paseo. I remember when they used to advertise that the car had a massive 100hp

Oh Toyota you used to have such interesting cars haha
I wonder if we'd ever see a car like this come out of Toyota nowadays.
