If Initial D was made again today what car would be featured instead of the Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX?
Maybe an Impreza or LAN EVO? Something that was fast for the time but is ten years old, passed down to a kid so he can street race his fellow hoodlums on the touge
Both Imprezas and Lancer Evolutions are 4WD (with some Lancers being FWD). Rear wheel drive is optimum for drifting so which ever car he used would likely have to be rear wheel drive.

The spirit of the touge is lost on the current effiminate generation. Their noses are firmly planted to their cell phones and they don't even care about how they get to the shitty hiphop concert, just as long as they get there. They will embrace the soulless appliance transport box with the autonomous driving computer so they never have to look up from their screens, and just post instagrams to their equally disenguaged friends.
So to answer your question, the car of choice would be an early model google autocar that will safely and percisely drive them down Mt Akina at the speed limit and in the proper lane. They will survuive to eat their tofu.

It's the 240/180/Silvia, not a hard question.

Do the later gen lan evos have... misfiring systems?

I wish I had a Merc. 190 2.5 16v cosworth so I could be the german dagumi but I only have the 2.3 8v and I cant afford to buy a 10k car yet.
but to your question, the most fitting would honestly be the gt86... its only 5 years old but its getting there. if it has to be older well idk, i looked it up but almost every car made in the 2000s is not similar to the old86 theres nothing
Gabriel Cook
Nah the GT86 is still pretty good and is well known for being pretty good. The whole thing about the AE86 was that it was a sleeper car. Everyone thought it was an outdated hunk of junk (and they were not entirely wrong) but it had great handling and an incredible driver.

The problem with the current generations of vehicles is that normal grocery getter cars aren't made in RWD anymore. You would have to have some unassuming hatch or 4door in an FR layout to match the ae86. That simply doesn't happen anymore. Honestly it would either be a gt86 because meme car and lol slow or it would be a miata shitbox because lol miata and lol slow.
