6gc vs 7gc Options

hey guys. well, my brother has a 2001 celica, and i have a 1999 celica.

people are always telling me that i could have just got 1 year up and got a 7th gen, but i always just asnwer "why? i dont want the 2000 one" and they always just answer by saying they think its "better"

but to tell you the truth, i like the 6th generation one more. its more unique in a good way. to me, the 7th generation one looks a bit too stubby and it looks like the rear got cut short and the back bumper is HUMONGOUS. im not hating on the 7th generation, cuz they are great cars.

7th gen gets HELLA good mpg.

and i read somewehre that the 7th gen GT 0-60 is 8.5? thats pretty much the same as the 6th gen.

the 6th generation celica was ment to competite in the more expencive classes, that is why it was so expencive back then. The 7th generation celica was built to competite gainst the hondas. that is why the interior is more cheap.

But performance wise the 7th generation is a way better base to build off of. The aerodynamics, the longer wheel base and lighter over all body.

BUt i would have picked the 99 celica over the 2000 celica any day. The 2000 is the first model of the new generations, meaning alot of new problems that yet to be figured out. The new 7th generation engine is less stong compared to the 2006 engine.
