i saw a strange thing last night.
at first i saw the front of this car last night and i thought: "hey, its a ae86 levin"
but then i noticed the rest of the car...it was 4 door.
but it wasnt one of those 4 door corollas that you usually see driving around. so as im driving along i slow down a bit to get a better look at it. as it went ahead of me i noticed that its shape was fairly different to a normal corolla, so i was getting really interested.
so, im thinking to myself : "ok, this car has a very similar front to an ae86 levin, but its 4 door, but it is different to the normal corollas wtf is this?"
when i saw the rear of it i noticed that the rear lights are again similar to an ae86 coupe (you know, the notch-backs) ...but different slightly.
then i saw the badge. it was a sprinter!
it blew my mind really, i never knew about a sprinter like that one. it wasnt quite ae86 but it was very close.
can anyone shed some light on this? are they common? aus delivered? etc.
im just really curious, has anyone noticed these before?
i dont think im that much of a noob am i?

In the AE8x range there were sprinter versions of the seca the wagon and the sedan as well as the AE86. Seca and sedan are front wheel drive. The wagon is front or all wheel drive.
