The Corona and the Toyota Carina continued to increase in size as its popularity grew. Because of Japanese taxation laws, both models got to the maximum 1,700 mm (66.9 in) permitted for a lower tax bracket, and in the 1980s and early 1990s, they were the same size. The previous generation ST160 Corona Coupé did not update with this generation, and remained in production until 1993, when it was renamed as the Toyota Curren. The Corona Coupé continued to share the bodystyle of the ST160 Celica coupe only, continuing to use fixed headlights instead of the retractable units of the Celica.
The Carina T170 Series was launched in Japan in December 1987 which in 1988 became new Carina II in Europe.

“There is in every either-or a certain naivete which may well befit the evaluator, but ill- becomes the thinker, for whom opposites dissolve in series of transitions.”
