1972coronet Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Looks like a nice kit ! Must be the domestic version of the FX-16 that we had in the U.S. in the 80's , no ? The Starlet in U.S. marketing was originally a rear-wheel-drive arrangement , IIRC . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the FX-16 was a Corolla, that's a completely different (albeit similarly shaped) platform than the Starlet. The only Starlet we got in the U.S. was the prior generation (KP61) from 1981-1984. The E80 generation Corolla, of which the FX-16 is one of, along with the famous AE86 is what replaced it in the U.S. But the Starlet continued on as a sub-compact in Japan and elsewhere until 1999 when it replaced globally with the Yaris.
