I love it when someone calls some car "the nicest around" because it often is such a stretch from the truth. And I won't give the hyperbolists in the room a free pass with this next car, I'll at the most admit that it looks like a blast to own/drive.

The fifth generation Toyota Celia was released for the 1990 model year with all new "Super Round" organic styling and further refinement on the rock solid build quality that was beginning to be synonymous with the word Toyota. It wasn't an exciting car by any yardstick, but the GT-Four version (All-Trac in the US) added some needed power, all-wheel-drive traction, and, most importantly, a prominent hood scoop to the basic version.

The All-Trac name was used by Toyota on the Camry, Corolla, Previa, Celica, Rav4, & Caldina to designate their full-time symmetric four wheel drive system. For most of the fleet it was designed to help sell cars in snow-bound places, but for one car it was an attempt to sportify the car.

It never fails...I find an interesting example of a car, write it up...and another, slightly better example, pops up. The previously featured ST165 generation Celica wasn't a bad example, but it did have aftermarket wheels, a minor engine change, and was NOT one of the rare IMSA GTO Champion versions.

Before you get all fired up (we are talking to you, Stan) - the title is short for homologation. As in, Toyota wanted to build a badass Celica for the World Rally Championship but needed a widebody, all wheel drive, turbocharged production version to be offered to the public in order for it to be legal for competition. Called the GT-Four in the rest of the world, this gravel-munching monster was badged All-Trac Turbo for the US.

This may upset some Subaru fanatics, but the Toyota Camry All-Trac wagon is probably better in most respects than an early '90s Legacy wagon. It offers similar usability (cargo space, light snow capability, passenger hauling, etc) to the Legacy, but in a slightly more reliable package. Today's example is just about as nice as they come and offered for a decent price. Find this 1990 Toyota Camry All-Trac 4WD wagon offered for $5,000 in SF Bay Area, CA via craigslist.

The Toyota Celica was an affordable 'sporty' coupe from Toyota, and quite frankly a horrible car once it made the switch from rear wheel drive to front wheel drive when the fourth generation Celica debuted in 1986. The only notable exception is the All-Trac turbo cars that combined all-wheel-drive with a turbocharged 4-banger to put some fun back into the 4 wheeled washing machines from the company founded by Kiichiro Toyoda in 1937. This 5th generation (T180) 1990 Toyota Celica All-Trac turbo is for sale in Hartford, CT for $5,900 via craigslist.
We've posted a few Corollas on the Daily Turismo - usually older rear wheel drive versions, but today we are going to venture a little bit into beige territory. Toyota abandoned the performance buyer a long time ago in an attempt to attract more buyers with reliable and steadfast transportation. It did a great job and only occasionally a fun-to-drive Toyota would leave the showrooms after about 1979. This 1989 Toyota Corolla Wagon All-Trac SR5 is a bit of an oddity and we think qualifies as a Daily Turismo, so before you surf over to your favorite celebrity stalker site, take a look at what we think would be an interesting DT.
