Remember a time when you could get a manual gearbox in an all-wheel drive car and send it down a dusty trail for maximum fun? Those were the good days, and when rally racing and hot hatches hit their peak in the 1980s and 1990s, nothing made you feel more like a rally driver than the combination of AWD and a manual gearbox. But times have changed, the manual has fallen out of favor, and hot hatches, well, while there were once nearly a dozen or more to choose from, we're now down to just three or four genuine contenders. But of those that still remain, only one gives you that combination of a shift-it-yourself gearbox and drive to all four corners: the Toyota GR Corolla.

If you follow my column, you will know that I try to stay on top of anything Toyota, especially its performance models. Toyota is on a roll reviving iconic nameplates like the Toyota Celica. Models like the Stout pickup truck and the FJ Cruiser will also make a comeback, but in the meantime, Toyota is also spicing up its existing models like the Toyota RAV4, which will soon become a hybrid-only SUV. Now we have new information about the rebirth of another iconic Toyota name – the MR-2 – and my suspicion was correct.

After slapping the Puma badge on a crossover, Ford is doing it again with another fabled European nameplate. Say hello to the new Capri, which represents a striking change from the fastback coupe sold between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s.
