What's going on, Toyotafanboi? One day you call your Celica a Hyundai Coupe, one day you call it a Daihatsu... or am I missing something?

Hachiko · 21-06-2015 10:32PM

maybe it has knobs from the Daihatsu parts bin.

Do you want another Astra, TP? Mines up for grabs. :P

Toyota are a parent company to Daihatsu. They tend to make cheaper cars so in that way maybe you can say Daihatsu are their budget cars as Lexus are their Luxury cars.

I don't get this Hachiko, your car is badged a Lexus but it is realistically born like any other Toyota. They for sure are a higher division.

You need to stop this cutting at everyone that mentions them!
TFB didn't say a word for you to launch like that!

If you peel it back to its underpinnings, my Gt86 is in fact a 98 Lexus GS300

Hachiko · 21-06-2015 10:45PM

Lexus and Toyota are 2 seperate entities with different HQ, If they share some common parts well and good but anyone can see the cars themselves are entirely different. If it makes you feel good to call a Lexus a Toyota or whatever it wont change the fact they have different badges for a reason.

Toyota Motor Corporation produces vehicles under 5 brands, including the Toyota brand, Hino, Lexus, Ranz, and Scion.

I would have hoped a new car like a GT86 would not have been based on a car launched in 1993!

Exactly

And last time i called it a hyundai coupe because it kind of looks like one.

There are countless identical toyota/ lexus models with nothing more than a badge swapped for a different market.

You should have a look at a 2003 lexus is200 and a 2003 toyota altezza for example.

Theres nothing wrong with a Celica btw, is it a 180hp version? much better than a hyundai coupe, even the v6 coupes are brutal.

They're both coupes allright but the Celica looks far better, imo.

Chris_Heilong · 21-06-2015 10:54PM

We will end up going in circles here and we will not change Hachiko's mind so lets all agree to disagree. I wouldnt mind seeing the argument playing out in a thread of its own but some of the post a picture thread have been filled with almost no pictures and just text.:)

morritty · 21-06-2015 11:00PM

VW Passat + Skoda Superb, share the same parts... both owned by VW people call Skoda's a VW, Yet its a Skoda.....Does it really matter? Lexus is just a division of Toyota, its bound to share the same parts...Look at GM, their parts are shared across a ton of models...WHO CARES!!!!

I thought you were a Ford newbie, obvs not. Them zetec sports stand out over the conventional zetec. What engine?

Only a 1.6 TDCI, 115bhp - the black headlights are much nicer

Are they LED lights under the fogs? I havent seen them before!

Car looks good, love the alloys they really set the car apart from other Focus'

Got them fitted in Cavanaghs, bought them from Duncan Smith Automotive, on behalf of MS Design. Had awful trouble with them though. Last batch were properly sealed though. Yep the alloys are my favorite, would love a set like that on the Mondeo

They're after market drl's anyway.

I never really took pictures of previous cars, have a few on my old phones, which are bad quality, and the phones don't work anymore.

Anyway, have this one for last car Sunday.

Yep after market. Nice pug, what engine? Had a 1.4 and 1.0 before the focus

Junkyard Tom · 21-06-2015 11:38PM

Didn't Daihatsu develop the VVTi engine that Toyota adopted?

I'll probably get something like that focus next, probably a titanium though. Either a 1.8 or 2.0 though.

The pug is a 1.0 engine, there's only about 80k miles on it (2003). Still in fair good nick (family member has it)' although last time I checked there was potential gasket trouble.

Noccy_Mondy · 21-06-2015 11:41PM

So dashboard monday is next then?

Yeah and I'm sure Opel, Vauxhall, Holden and Chevrolet share some switches too.
