Toyota Corolla (Japan, 1987-1992)

Toyota launched the E90 series Corolla, that is, the model’s sixth generation, in 1987. On the following year, the Japanese brand reached the 10 million mark on Corolla units sold. The E90 series were the first Corollas to be rebadged and put on the North American market as the Geo Prizm.   It wasn’t until 1991 that the Corolla received Toyota’s newly designed emblem on the grille, replacing the traditional roman letters that simply spelled “Toyota”. In 1994, the sixth generation Corolla was put off the markets so as to give space for the next generation.

The Corolla E90’s front engines came with 1.3, 1.5 and 1.6-liter displacements that were powered by gasoline and a 2.0 L diesel engine was also made for this car.They could produce from a basic 67 hp to a superior 135 hp output. In addition, a 165 hp supercharged variant was also added.   These Corollas came either with front- or four-wheel drive systems, depending on the variant. They were built with a 5-speed manual, a 3-speed automatic or a 4-speed automatic transmission.

  Platform     Suspension The Corolla E90’s suspension is built all-round struts, except for the Sprinter Carib wagon that uses a solid rear axle suspension with coil springs.   Steering Power steering was optional.   Brakes Four-wheel disc brakes.

The rounder and more aerodynamic sixth generation Corolla was available in several different body versions: a 2-door coupé, 3- and 5-door hatchbacks, a 3-door liftback, a 4-door sedan and a 4-door station wagon.
