[trey_135]

That's the bumper, of course the body is different but if you stripped the GT down you could bolt in 99% of the GT-Four parts, maybe the rear end mount is different, same concept with the Evo and the Lancer, the only difference is the seam welds and the Evo has a slight fender flair over the Lancer. I've been telling people for a while why would Toyota spend an extra load of cash designing a different chassis for almost the exact same look, it's very common for manufacturers to use the same chassis in different vehicles, GTO=Manaro, IS300=Altezza, Celica=Curren, all 1994-2004 Mustangs use the SN-95 (ex. the Saleen SR which was a custom widebody), all F-Body Camaros and Firebirds, G35=350Z, Evo VII and VIII=Lancer, Evo V or VI (can't remember)=Colt/Mirage, 2005 Mustang=Lincoln LS, 300C=Charger, I can name a whole load more that share an almost indentical or identical chassis, what makes the Celica so different from the hundreds of other cars that share the same chassis, is it because ours says ST204/AT200 vs. ST205, Toyota is still a mass production manufacturer yeah the guts maybe different even the skin to but the original shell is the same.

He obviously hasn't. He's just making assumptions that are hugely incorrect. I believe that I have pictures at home that'll prove the point, but the GT-Four is very, very different. Not even the backseat from a GT-Four will bolt into any AT200 or ST202/3/4 I don't think.
