On the sports car thing, the only imports in the Celica's class that can come close to being sports cars are the Miata and the Prelude, Civics and Eclipses aren't really sporty enough they don't have that RWD looking stance I guess. Just because the Celica gets beat by a lot of cars on the road doesn't mean it can't hold it's own, the 5S is under powered but it still runs with or outruns the competition (I personally believe they should have at least had enough to beat out the Si in straight line performance). The Celica runs well against Neons, Eclipse RS/GS, Civic EX, and lesser Preludes, think of the early 80's Vette it was a sports car but it could get owned by most of the cars on the road, it really didn't have good handling it only had 200HP coming out of a V8, it was junk compared to most Vettes but it looked like a Vette so it was still a sports car. Just because a car can't run with 200+HP cars doesn't mean it isn't a sports car, it just means that Toyota yanked the engine out and slapped an economy engine in it.
