Because of the combination of handling, RWD layout, geometry, lightness, responsiveness, and practicality that makes them a winner. Also looks.
Cause of these factors, they are used extensively in japan on the raceway, circuits, etc..
They emulate a high end sports car well, at lower speeds.
They are a commemorative car for toyota. Last RWD corolla. So toyota wanted to finish with a bang.. So they made the ae86.
They pumped thousands and thousands into developing it. The car wasn't a fluke... They made a very thin profit margin on this vehicle I reckon. They incorperated power steering, twin cam fuel injection, climate control, plastic trimings, etc... This was very high tech. Very impressive for 1983. They combined the RWD of yesteryear into the body of the new AE corollas.
Notice the styling is years ahead of it's time?
They are now considered a CULT car. It is an ICON of a glorious past.. It represents the End of an ERA.. The era of RWD in non performance cars...
Hence, that is why they are so expensive.
rock on.
