OMG, saw a 5th gen Alltrac for first time... Options

Hot asian chick driving up on the 101 this week in a near-flawless black turbo Alltrac...

My heart was racing as I (tried to) pull up next to her...g-damn that was one sexy car (and girl ).

Damn, that felt like when I saw my first 6th gen back in 97 (when I first started to notice cars).

Can anyone tell me if these Alltracs look different than the standard 5th gens? (the tail light and bumper threw me for a loop 'cause I've never seen one like it before).

My new mechanic has one, he used to work for TRD , I didn't ask him which year , but it was a 5th gen Celica alltrack , LHD with the 3sgte ... the one he has has barely any interior but he is working on it ( very slowly
) .. first time i went to him i was actually more interested in looking at the alltrac than fixing my car

You make it seem like it's rare to see a LHD Alltrac with a 3sgte in it. And it's Alltrac, not Alltrack.

I'm pretty sure we never got the RC/CS model here in the US, and I'm also pretty sure the rear bumpers were the same on all trims. There's not really any exterior differences in the back other than the gas tank and stock exhuast. I mean, It could have the JDM vents on the rear, but that's all.

ST185 is a good car, don't get me wrong. I just think the car is a little glorified by people who have never owned one. It's not amazingly fast. No faster than an MR2 Turbo. And they really aren't that hard to come by if you actually look for one. Yes it's rare to see one just driving around on the street, but that's mainly becuase they aren't dependable and the only people who drive them are enthusiasts or on rare occassion, people who have no idea wtf they are driving. I've seen a few driving on the road, and when I drove mine around, I got a lot of attention. It's a nice car but people are beginning to over exagerate the greatness of it like they do with the AE86 (you know what I'm talking about ). Hahaha, sorry I'm just extremely pissed off at my ST185 and my friend's hachi haha. No offense to Alltrac or Corolla owners out there .
