I was somewhat inspired by a thread on another forum discussing potential American classic cars from the 80s to today and wondering which ones from this era had a chance of being a classic.
Then I started wondering about Toyota and wondering whether any of the cars of that said era would be a classic. The only cars I could think of that easily qualify are Toyota's sport oriented cars ie. Supra, MR2, Celica GT-Four, AE86, etc. but this is no surprise since any sports car is more interesting than a regular car. Generally the company's top flagship in this case the Lexus LS400 also have an easier time becoming the classic, the LS being the primary reason for the Lexus brand's success makes it probably guaranteed.
Yet I do wonder whether since there is a sense of respect for regular Toyotas from the 80s since this was the era where Toyota finally was noticed and made major gains worldwide in order to become the giant they are today. Perhaps there's some rare Toyota trim level making it a collectible which I forgot about.
