For along time I was fascinated by the Toyota Tureno Sprinter or as everybody calls them the AE86. But just recently as I have found out about the accord sitting in my uncle in laws yard these two cars were seperated at birth. If you have a chance pull up pics of the AE86 and a 3rd gen LX-I hatch there almost perfect twin from two diffrent manufactures. I hoping because of the look a like that the accord might habdle sharp curves like the AE86.

look alike yes... but theres a totally difrent thing going on under its skin... the GT-s engine the rear wheel drive... difrent suspention setups . but looks wise... yes the 3g accord can be mistaken for a AE86, i have even had people come up saying ""i never knew they made those in 4 door" then iwould ask what they ment and come to find out they thought it was a AE (this was when i had my 4 door accord)

honestly, to me anyway, the Honda looks way better. The Toyota seems stubbier, almost squarish, whereas the Honda seems to flow a lil better as far as bodylines go. That and here in Indiana, when it hits winter, you don't really miss the rear wheel drive so much.
