    I always wondered why the Levin never made it to the US, but that sunken, sealed beam monster would have been awful.

    I'm ok with this in this case. The pop-ups version is so much better looking in my opinion.

      Both looks really good, the Levin sold way better than the Trueno in Japan.

    The headlights, probably?
    edit: yes
    edit 2: DOT stands for Department Of Transport (probably)

    the last ever car with sealed beam headlights was the 2017 Chevrolet express van. Also imagine if someone actually made a sealed beam front end for the Levin as a joke.

    I think if they use the headlight of corolla wagon face, levin will come to U.S.

      Show me a flip up light ae86 in australia, and ill show you a car that has been converted or imported. We got the sprinter here in australia- they were fixed light (We had trueno tail lights though, amusingly enough. On that same note, the US ae86s which had trueno front ends, had levin tail lights).
      And yes i know this comment is a year+ old. Buuut. whatevz

    Every USDM import car is shit anyway. EUDM and JDM cars always received the best stuff.

      Maybe, but americans have much less strict laws when it comes to modding their cars, paying road taxes, yearly inspections etc. I don't know about japan but in europe modding a car is just hell when it comes to regulations of everything. Ontop of that many of the countries have stupid import taxes and the fuel costs twice as much as in the US.

    Well, obviously not enough AE86's were made anyways. Toyota dun goofed

    • @tcae8658
      @tcae8658 8 месяцев назад

      It's not because of Toyota, but the laws of the market.
      And then, you should know that at the time, depending on the country, Japanese cars were not appreciated at their true value 🤷‍♂️
      For example, in France, the Trueno was not available and only 250 Levin were sold new 🤦‍♂️

      Unless you mean the American version there were plenty of AE86s made. In Japan they produced over 360,000. It's just the JDM fanboys who act like they're "rare" and overprice the living hell out of them.
