Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Someone created Googlopoly. Indeed: Google is getting more and more a monopoly, so it should be quite right.
As you can see on the board it contains a couple of names which Google didn’t acquire yet, however it’s only a matter of time… ;)
Click on the image to go to the original webpage of Googlopoly and see the full size image of the board.
Just found this great Japanese website who scanned all Corona and Carina catalogues ever!
Ofcourse I already downloaded all Carina A6 scans and I will most probably mirror them here. :)
You can find them here:

And for your interest, I have these four catalogues:
http://toyopetcoronadeluxe.proj.jp/catalog/cat06g.html
http://toyopetcoronadeluxe.proj.jp/catalog/cat06p.html
http://toyopetcoronadeluxe.proj.jp/catalog/cat06u.html
http://toyopetcoronadeluxe.proj.jp/catalog/cat06q.html
Today I added the last of the Carina A6 specs. This time the S59-3 (March 1984) specifications which are the final specifications. Shortly after this folder the Carina A6 was fully replaced by the (already available) T160 Carina II.
As you can see the 2T-G is replaced by the 4A-GE and the GT is also available as GT-R.
I still haven’t figured out what exact the difference is between the GT and the GT-R except for the weight, width and ride height: the GT-TR and GT-R are 20 and 10 kg heavier, 1.5 cm wider and 1.5 cm higher than the GT-T and GT.
Also the pictures of the interior show that the R-spec is having bucket seats and power windows while the non R-spec is having normal seats (exact the same interior as mine except for the rear bench) and manual windows.
This probably means that the R-spec is more luxurious than the normal version. So if anyone has a definite answer to me: please tell me! :)
You can find the S59-3 specs here:
Carina A6 specs S59-3 (March 1984)
Added specifications for S57-9 and restructured the pages a bit.
As you can see the RA63 (18R) was discontinued and replaced by the TA63 which features the new 3T-GT 1.8 liter turbo engine. IMO that was a very wise decision: now the puppy saving Turbo model was introduced.
I also added the available colors from the S57-6 folder. I didn’t see any significant difference between the S57-6 folder and the S57-9 folder, so that one is accurate for the S57-9 folder as well.
You can find the specs here:
Carina A6 specs S57-9 (September 1982)
And the colors here:
Just added the first version of the Carina A6 specs to the site. It contains info about the JDM Carinas of June 1982.
I have two more brochures, so there is still some work left to do.
You can find the page in the right menu, or right here:
Found some more Toyota Carina TA60/TA61/AA63/TA63 ads on Youtube:
And what about this great 1984 Toshiba VCR ad by Ultraman?
Are all Japanese ads from the 80s this wacky??
