This Tercel's all-new look wasn't a coincidence — it was styled to echo the bigger Camry that launched the same year, and in Japan the two were sold side by side at the same dealerships.
The L40 hatchback ended in a large wraparound rear window curved in three dimensions, and North America never got it.
Toyota stripped the 1988 Tercel EZ down to the bone: vinyl upholstery, rubber mats instead of carpet, and even the passenger's sun visor deleted to hit a lower price.
The 4WD Tercel's six-speed manual hid a secret seventh gear in spirit — an ultra-low 'EL' ratio meant only for crawling the car out of mud or snow, geared down to 17.6:1.
Toyota's first front-wheel-drive car mounted its engine lengthways, because Toyota felt traditionalists might be scared off by a transverse layout.
