It´s definitely a thousand miles better looking in White than in yellow.

Discovered this one today:
Toyota Carina ED. Toyota made three generations of it, and it's effectively a four-door Celica. Googling them seems to suggest a huge number have ended up in Russia for some reason.

since GT4 -and upwards there's the 2nd gen one, FF layout. Toyota Carina ED EX, if not mistaken.
on gt2 there was also a carina, but my memory of that is muddy
while browsing the local used cars site, I stumbled upon the 2nd gen of the Daihatsu Charade GTti, in a good stock condition, with everything original in it, including paint. It was a car I never saw until now
It looks pretty cool. Would love to try it out.
also to add , I discovered de Innocenti MInitre 990 SE, which seems like a small box from the 70's/80's on sale here.
Pictures of the actual car I was seeing. not to shabby IMO.

The Gurgel Carajas. Was 2WD only with a rear mounted transmission (sort of like the Corvette), came with a 1.8 L gas engine or 1.6L diesel, and was actually quite popular in Brazil in the late 80's.
There was also a 4-door version called the Carajas VIP.

That'll be the 1989 Toyota Carina ED 2.0 X 4WS you're thinking of since GT4:
As for the Corona, that was featured in GT1 and 2 as the 1996 Exiv 200GT:
The Corona was designed as a sort of twin to the Carina, later were based on the same chassis. My grandfather actually owned the Corona variant of the Carina in GT4, complete with 4WS. It looked like this, except was in a sandy champagne:
The T200 shown in @homeforsummer's post looked like this in Corona guise:
Funnily enough, EXiV seems to stand for EXtra impressiVe according to Toyota.
The Corona had some spotlight within the JTCC as well:
Back to the road cars, there were a number of interesting models for the T200 twins with their facelift in 1995. There was a JTCC commemorative edition. Information is scarce to what exactly sets it apart from the others, bar a JTCC decal on the rear door and a slightly tweaked 3S-GE to 180ps. However I did find a build thread, unsurprisingly from Russia again:

The range topper for the Corona was known as the ST205, with the EXiV GT-4WD, and EXiV GT-4WD Touring Version.
They came as a non four-wheel-drive variant known as the ST202 200GT and 200GT Touring Versions, with power being slightly reduced to 170ps. From there, they came down to the 200G and 200E with the 3S-FE (140ps), and the 180 G, 180 E Limited and 180 E with the 4S-FE (125ps), with the 180 E being the cheapest available.
The Carina ED had this as the GT Exciting Version and GT for the four-wheel-drive versions, with the same names used for the non-four-wheel drives, but with power being upped from 175ps to 180ps. Other models included the X Exciting Version, X (3S-GE), V Exciting Version, 1.8 V Limited , and V (4S-FE).

1932 Ford B Cabriolet by Drauz.
I'm familiar of some other coachbuilt 1932 Fords (not including Edsel's aluminum roadster), particularly a couple different examples from Willy van den PLAS and the Batten Special V-8, but this one is new to me. I suppose it's attractive enough, certainly from the cowl back (I'm not a fan of "deuces" because they've become so cliché; give me a Chevy Confederate, Buick or, better yet, a Franklin), but those wipers and the Landau irons steal the show for me.

Always had a bit of a soft spot for the Corona. Almost like a Celica in sheep's clothing.
And I still maintain than the Super-Tourer it spawned is still the best/favourite Touring car from that generation.
Just love the low-wide stance it had compared to the rest.

Can confirm that this seems to be one of the first-gen Civics

Used Japanese cars are popular in Vodkaland because they are ridiculously cheap there, even considering import fees. At least they were pretty cheap imports in the 90's.

Just the body shape gave it that appearance of it being wider than it is. Generally, though like all super tourers from that era, it looked immense, just I've always held as being one of my favourite.

Chatenet CH30. Never heard about it until I saw it in one of the Gran Turismo Sport photo scapes.

Kudzu DG-3, a prototype race car powered by the Mazda 13b 2.0L 4-Rotor engine. I only know it now because well...I don't go out of my way researching these cars.
