Everyone has a top 10 list of favorite AE86s in their mind. And I can guarantee that Takumi Fujiwara's infamous, yet unassuming, tofu delivery machine is somewhere in everyone's top 10. No other Corolla embodies the spirit of the underpowered car better than this fictional one from the hyper popular manga/anime, Initial D. It's that can-do-can-conquer mentality that the car and its owner, Takumi, has as it goes into each situation. Even as it goes up against the automotive titans (S13s, SW20s, GTRs, EGs, EKs, FCs, FDs) of Japan up and down the country's mountain roads, the duo doesn't flinch.
Add to the fact that its classic styling is copied around the world to this day and you have my pick of favorite 86 of all time.
