Talk:Toyota Carina

message: I don't recognise any of these cars as a Toyota Carina, unlike these:
1) Carina II: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Toyota_Carina_II_in_Utrecht.jpg or http://www.gellir.cc/amazon/images/Toyota_Carina_II.JPG

message: I see absolutely no point in having entries like the following in English Wikipedia. Hopefully someone can render them fit for human consumption and wikify them enough to reinclude. Until then, we're better off with blank spaces. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 03:34, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anyone for translating Japanese? 

message: Does anyone know what these designations mean?  --THE FOUNDERS INTENT PRAISE 18:08, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: TA63 - T means T engine family (eg 2T, 3T), A means RWD Celica, Carina or Celica Camry, 6 means third generation (1/2, 3/4, 5/6), 3 means a particular model within that generation (in this case to differentiation the 2T and 3T engines and has IRS). AA63 is the same but with the A engine family. More details at Toyota model codes or my Carina 63 web page.  Stepho  (talk) 22:48, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Ta63 or Aa63?

message: The Carina, Celica and Celica Camry shared a common floorpan and mechanicals. They even shared the same model codes. To differentiate them, Toyota put a unique code after the dash and used this in their parts catalogues and owner's manuals. So, the Carina is officially known as the TA41-A, the Celica is officially known TA41-B and the Celica Camry is officially known as the TA41-C (all 3 assuming the '77-'81 model with the 2T engine and solid rear axle). The same unique letter is used in the full build code (eg E-TA41-ADKRS for Carina). I have various pictures of owner's manuals showing this at home but it will take some time to dig them out and put them where they can be seen.  Stepho  talk  09:30, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm assuming this is in response to my edit here. If so, I am mistaken and this should probably be explained in the Celica and Carina articles. Also, does the apply to other models—i.e. the Toyota Camry (XV20) and Lexus ES (XV20)? OSX (talk • contributions) 11:32, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, in response to your changes. Toyota used this in the 1970s-1990's for variations on the same platform. The RWD Celica, Celica Camry and Carina were all on the A platform. A similar code was used for the FWD Corona, Celica, Carina on the T platform, the Corolla and Sprinter on the E platform and the Cressida, Mark II, Cresta and Chaser on the X platform. For the XV platform we have Camry (KD-CV43-AEPDX), Vista (KD-CV43-BEPMX) and Scepter (E-VCV15-CCPGK). I'd have to check further for the Lexus. But these were usually hidden inside the build code and only the Celica and Carina raised them to prominence on the parts catalogue cover.  Stepho  talk  13:11, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Toyota Carina's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Oldies":
From Toyota Carina II: 
From Toyota Corona: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:38, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Toyota Carina]] 

message: Regushee has now several times reverted edits regarding the European market Carina II. Here is a small photo gallery which provides a visual identifier for the cars:
File:Toyota Corona 1985.JPG|Japanese market Corona
File:Toyota Carina II in Utrecht.jpg|European market "Carina II"
The Corona/Carina II share a six-light bodywork, while the Japanese market Carina has only two side-windows (three pillars rather than four) and completely separate bodywork. The Carina name was used in Europe because "Corona" was seen as being tied to a larger car and was generally less popular. Also, the Carina II went on sale in Europe in early 1984 (it appears in Automobil Revue 1984, grouped together with the Corona FF, printed on 1 March 1984) whereas the Carina T15 was only presented in May of 1984. In World Cars 1985, page 51, Jack Yamaguchi states "...and in Europe, the fwd Corona's called Carina. And the fwd Carina is a re-clothed fwd Corona." If this isn't enough then I will be happy to provide scans.  Mr.choppers | ✎  21:49, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Anybody know what a "RINBAN" engine is in the T210 section?  Stepho  talk  00:40, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  RINBAN engine 

message: , I'm finding it hard to understand the the compact/mid-size difference. The T170/180 was 4,380 mm long and the T190/200 was 4,450 mm long. I can accept that the 70 mm difference was enough to push it to the larger class. The infoboxes give no variation in length within each generation, which is why I find it confusing that you say the Japanese market Carina and European market Carina E had different lengths. Can you shed some light on this? Thanks.  Stepho  talk  02:10, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
