[edit] Starlet saloons?
I just found this site today: [1] It seems to list some very obscure Toyotas, including EP82 and EP91 Starlet saloons. Did these ever even go into production? The pictures do look like photoshop jobs though. --Zilog Jones 15:02, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Definitely not factory Toyotas. I agree, someone's been photo-chopping! --PBurnett 09:25, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
The description in the first paragraph says it's a "microcar"....lol given that a Starlet can seat 5 people (believe me, mine has done so many times) it's hardly a microcar!
In addition, under "Other variants" it states they are "known" for being "dull but dependable" - surely this is a purely subjective comment? Surely there's no fixed objective definition of a "dull" car (I think Holden Commodores are dull, but some people love them). Can't speak for the others, but my unmodified 1999 1.3L Starlet's power to weight ratio puts it on par with some older Mazda MX5s as far as acceleration is concerned (and it easily reaches 140km/h on the highway).
