Rant and rave, why are people againest the celi Options

[LewFX]

Im sick of people calling the celi a chick car when most cars can be called a chicks car. I believe the celi is a neutral car like most cars should be. With some exceptions. Sometimes i wanna sell my car just to stay away from being labeled.

[Jdog1385]

nobody has ever told me that i have a chicks car but they have told me that i have a chick magnet, .

i dont think we're labeled but i do think the 7th gens are.

I hate to admit it, man, but there are WAAAAY too many sorrority girls driving our car around. More than 50% of the celicas I pass are driven by chicks (nothing wrong with that), but probably half of those are old! I think it was only labeled that because it wasn't the only game in town when it came out (Supra is definitely it's big brother...).

[tomazws]

I don't see why our Celica is chicks car... More like chicks LOVE our cars..

[shin]

hmm.. i don't think my celi's a chick ride. i've nvr been called one... people respect the celi here lol..

[orvillescelica]

I believe that the entire celica line past the 3rd gen (which was FR i believe) was marketed toward female buyers with the exception of the all-trac and GT4 versions.

Most cars that are pretty and, lets face it, underpowered are targeted toward the single female market. Just like the mustang was before it got a Shelby boost.

Although i have heard of this, i have never gotten a comment about my car being a chick car. On the contrary, i get a lot of 'cool car' and like tomazws said, chicks dig it!

I agree with that ..although im a chick who drives a celica, but im not old and im not in a sorrority so its all good.

If the Celica looks like chick car then that would make the Supra not far from it, I parked next to one at the store last week and on the exception of the driver compartment sitting farther back and the headlights, they look a lot alike (similar bodylines, same size). Plus the only reason the compartment sits so far forward is to help balance the weight for the GT-Four and the headlights were to set it apart from the Supra. If any car resembles a chick car it would be a Civic or Prelude.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

I have never heard anybody say that about my car. I always get compliments from all my buddies about how great it looks, and most of my friends arent even really into cars that much.

And not to mention, all my girl friends love my car and try to convince me that I should give it to them....lol. Its a car for any gender, really.

[chucho]

only 2 ppl have called it a chicks car to me, my friend that basically says every car thats not muscle is (and he drives a lancer ) and some girls friend that i worked w/ and i could burn his damn car.....but whatever nobody calls it a girls car anymore; not since all the exterior work.

[Clipsetuner]

I can see how it is a chicks car in nature, really under powered, rounded curved lines, more sporty then lets say a corolla. The 6th and 7th gens are more marketed for women we cant even deny it. I would say the first 3 gens were more for the sporty market, and the 4th gen started leaning towards women, but the GT4's were directed more towards guys, a 250hp AWD that is a world rally campion come on that almost turns me on typn'n that.

I have no problem having one at all its what I like, I dont get flammed for having a "chicks" car I get more flammed because I would rather have it then a Supra.

who gives a ****? celicas are badass.. all of em... so what if girls love them? hell last time i checked that wasnt a bad thing. so let people call them a girls car... yea a girls car that will most likely out race yours.. and will damn sure look bettter than 90 percent of the other **** out there.. anyway, yea i love celicas

[richgt4]

They'll all jealous. Envy is a bad thing I've had all ages of men & women come up to me in gas stations, car parks etc & say 'how nice' it is & that they 'don't see many of these cars about'. The other one is, 'what is it?' I love that one.

4 ownership is indeed a good thing. Way less common than the Scoobies & Evos in my oppinion.

I had mine called a girls car once but who cares. Celicas kick ass.

[Mr_E]

I had mine called a 'squashed frog' once.



Girls car? What is a girls car?

If 250+ bhp, 4wd, trick suspension and killer brakes comprise a girls car, then call me Susan.

I agree with chucho, specially when I drive around rich neighborhood like Chino Hills and Cerritos, I see a lot of Silverados and F150s with huge ass wheels all lifted and sh!t with like chrome bumper guard, under panel, huge ass structs, huge offroad tires... and inside sits a fine blond

damn... don't climb the mountain, climb me baby...

[saleeka]

When new, the 6th gen was geared directly towards female buyers, period. Motor trend, july 95, long term wrapup of a 94 GT liftback- Average buyer/age group female, aged 25-29...Ive had many women, and women only, compliment me on my car (most older ladies). keep in mid I do have a coupe, but still, there is no denying that 5th gens on have been female oriented automobiles... Today used market IS a different story, I think... Not to mention, nowdays, the Solara is the new chic female car to have in toyota's lineup...

[95CelicaST]

6th Gens aren't chick cars, ya know why? cause I said so. 'nuff said.

I have had a guy come up to me in a BMW and say "nice car, what is it?" so I said "a Celica", and he said "hey, I should buy one for my wife"

it ruined the compliment

Solaras are suppose to be old peoples cars like the avalon!

[mark_426]

Eh, I thought my brothers car looked kind of girly at first, but then again ti was lighter blue..

But, once its got some work, it gets some personality. I had a guy at a flower shop today say, "nice little ride, what is it?" But, I've also had two random people say it looks "mean" on the same day. (one of which coming from a guy riding a Kawasaki ZZR600, I was flattered )
