You don't want anything after TG. The RB is a front wheel drive piece of crap, nothing more than a rebadged Corolla.

Rear wheel drive is way to go Wink

I don't know how many times I have to say this.

The RB Gemini has NOTHING to do with a Corolla. Suffice to say, I don't like 'em either, but I DO like to correct misinformation when I see it.

The RB Gemini was developed indepentantly by Isuzu, and was built here in kit form from, imported from Japan. It sold very well in the USA under a variety of names - Geo Storm and Asuna Sunfire were two names, I think.

My point is that while they do look waaaay too much like a Corolla of the same vintage, they have no transferable parts and are not the same car.

Recently, I saw an RB and a Corolla parked by each other, and wished I had a camera to give me a visual record of the point I'm trying to make.

RBs are gay, yes, but they're not Corollas.

They don't? Oh, my wrong Smile

I thought they were a rebadge.
Not to worry. It all makes sense now.

Thanx, o' ever informed and knowledgeable Dave Smile
