Guess they're old enough for import now. Anyone have any first hand experience with them?

Yeah I was cruising around all day since around 2am when the cops shut down the races in Farmingdale and I passed by there. Didn't see that Celica though.

Pretty much. Most likely more is the same than different between the two. I'm curious if anyone knows what said differences may be.

Lotus Excel: Toyota engaged Lotus to assist with engineering work on the Supra early '80s. During this period, Toyota became a major shareholder in Lotus, later giving up their holding when GM bought Lotus.

Part of the deal between Lotus and Toyota included the use of many Toyota mechanical components in Lotus' cars. The original Excel (aka the Eclat Excel) used the transmission, driveshafts, rear differential, 14x7" alloy wheels, and door handles from the Supra Mk II, which was made from 1982 to 1986.

Excels were produced between 1982 and 1992, so earlier examples can circumvent the 25-year import rule in USA.
