New & confused

[KRB64]

New to the forum but not to Toyota's. My wife has had an '89 since new (248,XXX miles) and we bought another '89 off her grandmother with 40K.
Added a '90 wagon (hate the seat belt crap but love the space) recently.

Would like another wagon or alltrac.

Can't figure out the model nomenclature though. Whats the AE prefix mean? I've searched but can't find a description. I know my generation and motor but not the AE part...

Cheers

Welcome to TN.com! Here's a partial explanation to your question. I'm assuming you and your wife both have Corollas:

"In classic Toyota code, the "A" represents the engine that came in the car (the 3A and 4A) and the E86 represents the 6th revision of the fifth generation (E80 series) of the E model which is the Corolla. The AE86 (along with the lower spec 1452 cc AE85 and 1587 cc SR5 versions) was rear wheel drive (unlike the front wheel drive CE80 and AE82 models), and is among the last rear-drive cars of its type, at a time when most passenger cars were being switched to front-drive. The AE86 was replaced in 1987 by the front wheel drive AE92 Corolla/Sprinter range."

Many thanks. And yes they are Corollas.

So what we have are AE92s then right?
