Because its one of only 100 Factory Turbocharged AE112R Corolla Sportivos. Based on the 'Levin' Model all 100 came in Aztec Gold with 15" Corisca Alloys, lowered suspension and a very small turbo, small intercooler added to the factory 1.8 litre 7AFE motor. Produced 115kw from memory and were around $42k brand new back in 2001. (yes less power, slower and more expensive than a WRX) - Yes I'm a sicko for Corollas, was wanting one for a long time but a Skyline was so much cheaper to buy.
Hope you find it and get it back. Its a very rare and nice car.
