Says it'd be branded the next gen TC.

[manphibian]

(in the US)

There's no such thing anywhere else

[Supersprynt]

What is the TC called else where?

Nevermind - it's not a 1/2 bad looking car, idk why they don't sell it elsewhere.

The TC isn't bad looking? Where have you seen pics of the new celica? The related thread is a pic of a 7th gen. I'm confused.

Did you not read the caption underneath the 7th gen?

Nobody really knows what the car was going to be called, but is was going to be 'celica-like'

:slaps forehead:

Dude, it says "It may not look like this" and that's kinda a given; being a whole new car and all... But that's not what i was asking...
Sprynt said "it's not a half bad looking car"; and i'm trying to figure out what "it" refers too.
Sorry for the confusion there...
[/clarification]

[manphibian]

ahhhh, yeah he meant the TC.

They don't exist anywhere else afaik...

[Akirad1]

Okay. I guess i just mis-read the post.

Yeah, agreed then, the TC is a good looking car. Not awesome or anything, but I'd prefer it over some of the other stuff out there



YES!!

Toyo's design > Subaru

I'm all for a budget RWD sports car, but I was thinking it was going to be something different than a replacement for the current tC.

[SeverX13]

what do u guys think tc stands for?

Toyota Celica

they have been out we jsut never realized it lol


jp

[Akirad1]

i believe they said it stands for touring coupe

[Culpable04]

i believe they said it stands for touring coupe

that's what they want you to think lol !

tC is a nice car, they have gone up in price, but when they first came out, I was gonna grab one for 16K fully loaded, but I found my 6gc and paid for it cash
cash > loan

Hopefully they keep the cost down, RWD low budget tuner Toyota car = winner and I think is a smart move to wait till 2012 to release it, if it comes out now, I sure would not get it, job market is to unstable for me to get into a car loan at the moment and I'm sure is the same ( or worst for those with kids ) for others.

[RickJamesBish]

tC's are sweet, but for some reason, I'd take something else in that price segment...DK. They do come nicely decked out though, but they're so common...almost like Corollas now.

[CelicaST_CALI]

agreed^^ they are EVRYWHERE...

[samir0189]

well this kind of sucks, i was looking forward to a celica revival. On the other hand, if it is as awesome as they make it sound, and if it looks good, ill be able to afford it in 2012. More time to save.

[trd_420]

or it could be this???

[CelicaST_CALI]

[azian_advanced]

could be this too:






the gray one looks like a more realistic version because of the toned-down look.

FCUK YES!! I'll be having one thank you very much (with a razor wing pleeze )

Any info on what engine will be in it?

[Akirad1]

that looks like a TVR

[RickJamesBish]

That last design is all M3 in the back end, which isn't a bad thing. That front is all Toyota though, very very nice.

Speaking of being common, there's about three or four Corolla's at my school, if not more, and there's also a couple tC's, plus you see them around everywhere. I'm the only 6GC, there's a 7GC, and a girl with a 5GC. I can also count on one hand how many 6GC's I've seen around here.

[Akirad1]

or it could be this???

can you say IS250/350 coupe

[D-Man]

lol, That reminds me... the otherday at my appts, this lady was standing over her car (i wasn't paying attention to what it was) because the battary was dead, Being a good neighboor i asked what was up and if she needed a jump. So as i was hooking up the cables, i looked over at the engine and said; "Hey, WTF? That's a 5sfe..." Granted the lady was like "Huuu" and then it clicked i was jumping a corolla; and i laughed, and pointed to my engine and told her it was the same engine She had a fit, she then got worried that someone had swaped her engine and that was the problem with her car

I made her goto autozone to find that her altinator was dead and just replaced it yesterday... Funny stuff. (I'm the official mechanic for everyone in my appt building )

[Lil-Joe101]

I think that design is nice. Its 6th,7th, and Tc(actually more Altezza) all together.

those poor poor people...

[Hanyo]

i sure hope they dont release it under the scion brand.

I dislike scion

[monkeywrench]

It makes me sad to hear the phrase 'the death of (insert popular car name)'... But those pictures of the grey and blue concepts look great. The front looks a tiny bit like the Saturn Sky with the humps over the fenderwells. It'd be a cool idea for Toyota to get feedback from its fans and the general public what they like and what would be some good ideas-like a contest (the winner just gets a thankyou, lol). I like the way that newer cars are coming out, with their sharp lines and hard shapes, but i miss the sexy curves of the '90s cars, like the 6gc/Supra/Mazda RX-7/Honda Prelude&Civic/Mitubishi Eclipse. If they could combine the new designs with sexy curves, they might come out with an irresistable car. And yes, I'm sort of comparing a car to the female figure, because the more curves, the more beautiful IMO.
