Talk:Toyota AE85

er...

could some one put a picture of a AE85?

What

It's just a bunch of guys talking smack about the AE85. How do I put this article up for deletion? -Not Diablo 07:53, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Hahaha, the entire article is a single quote from Initial D. - Tronno ( t | c ) 23:44, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, the entire article is a POV, it like bashing a 1.4l Golf because it has 75hp against the 200hp Golf GTI, they are simply diferent options , powerplants and trims to buy.

I put a "cleaner" version including only what facts I could find on English-language websites as a temporary placeholder until it is decided whether this article needs to be deleted or redirected to a different page.

I recommend this be locked to prevent further Initial-D fanboy interference.

Merge?

What about merging this article with the Toyota AE86? Since it's basically the same car with a smaller engine. --Boivie 07:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Naw,the 85 was different in more respects than just that. If you were to merge it into the AE86 article, you might as well merge them all into the Corolla main article as sub-sections.

If it weren't for the drift fad of late, neither would require their separate articles.

I suggest adding a sub-section to the Corolla article covering both these cars, then linking from there to the AE86 article and removing this one entirely.

I agree that this should be merged to Corolla (E80) along with the AE86 entry. A redirect is all that is required.  Mr.choppers | ✎  02:44, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

I don't think the AE85 deserves its own standalone article but I do think it is different from the rest of the E80 range. The AE85 really is the same as the AE86 except for the smaller 3A engine and some trim options. An 85 can be transformed into an 86 (and vice versa) with some donor parts and a set of spanners. Mechanically, the AE85/86 are the same platform as the E70. I used E70 parts when fixing my AE86. The 85/86 is mostly the E70 platform with revised body panels (as a hedge against customers not liking the change to FWD) and have very little in common with the FWD models. I would merge the 85 and 86 articles.  Stepho  talk  03:17, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
