8th gen Celica, possible release date? Options

[Outsider]

I found this post on a UK forum. Food for thought.

Actually...the new "Supra" isn't going to be called a supra. The actual name has been keyed the Toyota 5000GT in a recent Automobile magazine. Yes it will be aimed at the supercar league and yes they will come out with something to this effect...won't be called the Supra though.

And I have high doubts to the whole SC 8gen...besides that's in UK. Overseas gets more performance oriented vehicles while the US doesn't. It has already been said and released by me and XE_Nathaniel that the Celica will end as the Scion name is going to likely take over because it is aimed at the younger crowd. This is the way me and Nate found out Toyota is going about this, well more what I figure is happening from me and Nate's research (includes talking to Toyota exec's, as well as much reading). Scion will be aimed at younger kids as well as midlife crisis people looking to hip their lives up (kinda like what the PT Cruiser did), Toyota will be used as is....to market famous family cars such as the Camry and Corolla while holding places for some useful SUVs, Lexus will keep its aim as going for higher class people who don't want a Bimmer or whatnot.

I guess that's more my speculation of all the research. BUT we do know that the Celica will likely be done after this 7th Generation and will most likely be replaced by the car stated earlier: Scion Tc. Also, it's been said that 2007 is the aimed release year for Toyota's new supercart...actually it's been said many times in many different sources so I'm beginning to believe that's when.
