About Toyota Sprinter
The Sprinter was aimed to be sportier than its Corolla sibling, with the Sprinter being sold at the (renamed “Toyota Vista Store”) in 1982 and then in 1998. A special model called the “Sprinter Trueno J” had all the Trueno’s equipment but used the single-cam, 2T-G engine. The Japanese market Sprinter was available as the following models: Corolla, Sprinter, Coupe, 4-door sedan and liftback. As before, the differences between the Corolla and Sprinter were mostly cosmetic. In August 1981, along with the 1.5 and 1.6-liter engines being changed, the Sprinter received a facelift.<>
The AE82 Sprinter sedan had slightly different compared to the AE82 Corolla. The Sprinter sold in Australia was actually identical to a Japanese market Corolla in all of its specifications. Sprinter was offered as a sedan, coupe, 5-door lift-back and station wagon named Sprinter Carib. The JDM market Sprinter Trueno coupe had retractable head lamps, but in this generation the RWD model was discontinued and all coupes were FWD. For this generation only, Toyota introduced a 4-door hardtop sedan (with frameless door windows) called the Sprinter Carib.<>
This platform continued to be produced in North America as the sedan, as the liftback body style was discontinued in the North American market. The E110 Sprinter was only marketed in the Japanese market as a sedan. (SOURCE:WIKI)<>
