Well they still do, in terms of their bread and butter cars. But they seem to have completely forgotten the enthusiast....

I dont know, i havent seen any hotted up ones on yahoo auctions but why would u buy a TE72 when they got the TE71 Truenos w/ 2TGEUs
Yanks got lots of TE72s and TE71s from what i can see on cardomain, cept everywhere else they were corollas, toyota just whacked a different name on the T-18 to try and shake the corolla image (add to that the 1.8 was a big block compared to the k motor powered rollas of the time ;P ) - also the only rolla in aust to get a T motor

The 1 and 2 refer ONLY to engine size NOT body style.
2T(or G) 1600cc = TE71
3T 1800cc = TE72
All sort of body styles were available, including coupe, sedan, liftback etc etc but chassis code was only determined by engine. Most US ones were 3T powered TE72's.

I have just purchased one of these 'Macho Machines'
Not too bad a car...but it needs rack and pinion steering.
