Choice of body styles increased as well, with the addition of a four-door sedan. Also, Toyota designed the then new A series engine for the Tercel, attempting simultaneously to achieve good fuel economy and performance and low emissions. For example, the E80 series Corolla's frame (except AE85 and AE86) is similar to the L20 series Tercel's frame. The Tercel was the first front-wheel drive vehicle produced by Toyota, although it was the only front-wheel drive Toyota to have a longitudinally mounted engine. Starting with the second generation, the Tercel dealership network was changed to Vista Store, as its badge engineered sibling, the Corolla II, was exclusive to Corolla Store locations. It was also known as the Toyota Corsa ( Japanese: トヨタ・コルサ, Toyota Korusa) and sold at Toyopet Store locations. Manufactured at the Takaoka plant in Toyota City, Japan, and sharing its platform with the Cynos (aka Paseo) and the Starlet, the Tercel was marketed variously as the Toyota Corolla II ( Japanese: トヨタ・カローラII, Toyota Karōra II ) - sold at Toyota Japanese dealerships called Toyota Corolla Stores - and was replaced by the Platz in 1999. The Toyota Tercel ( Japanese: トヨタ・ターセル, Toyota Tāseru) is a subcompact car manufactured by Toyota from 1978 until 1999 across five generations, in five body configurations sized between the Corolla and the Starlet.
