'tis very cool, but if he hadn't said so in the ad I'd have never thought those were stock doors. But looking at them closer that would be a hell of alot of work to mod them the way they are.

why is there a picture of a Porsche on the hood, exactly?
btw, those are the stock doors. The sera came with them for like 5 years in the Japanese market. Cool little car, but it is slow as hell. Like, sub-100hp slow.

Those are wicked cool but they're basically a Tercel with a flashy body. Doesn't mean I wouldn't have one though. Love the pic next to the Lambo.

Well, specs say it's RWD, and a Paseo/Tercel is def. FWD. I think scissor doors are just plain goofy.
Edit: okay, weird... he goes on to say that it's got a 4 cyl. Paseo drivetrain. Little bit misleading!

As per add "RB26 RB25 1jz 2jz supra non turbo AE86 NR". That about covers it.

Cool, so you could probably swap in a 4E-FTE out of a starlet for turbo goodness.

Stop. You're making me hungry. Mmmm. Chicken.
But yeah, the car does nothing for me. Sure it's rare, but there's a perfectly good reason for that--nobody wants one!

Looks like a Subaru SVX that got hatched early.
