new concept celica?, when they gonna change it again Options

[ArizonaRed]

I was wondering if anybody knew if they (toyota) were going to redo the celica. It seems that they have been changing it every 5 or so years. I hope they'll have a redisigned 8th gen that looks less boxy than the 7th and not as femenin.

toyota is just going in an entirely different route... "toyota" brandname now is focused on its truck series (with new logo and chevrolet 'like a rock' style advertising schemes) and its family cars and vehicles. While lexus, always being toyota's luxury marquee, is continuing that theme and also adding more performance to the name plate. the Lexus LF-A concept is the next generation supra... as it stands it has a 500 HP output motor, numbers likely will change when the production model arrives... however the price (streight from the source at the NAIAS where the car was debuted) WILL be over 100,000 dollars when it becomes a production model... as far as celicas stateside it was officially announced by toyota at the end of last year the celica and MRS are both discontinued at the end of the 05 model year. you can essentially say the tC is a replacement since it is taking over the void the celica leaves, its the same kind of "replacement" the cobalt is for the cavalier... its a very different vehicle occupying the same class as its predecessor. there have been plenty of talks associated with a new mid-engine toyota manufactured vehicle, it's been spied many times doing track testing along side the LF-A, toyota has not announced anything officially reguarding the car, and theres no certainty which marquee it will fall under, the MR2OC does have a forum for the "MK4 MR2" but the consensus seems to be that it will not see this side of the pond atleast for its first few production years.
