What IS The Celica? Options

[ge7243]

I've been pondering this for a few days now. What is the Celica exactly? It's front wheel drive and doesn't have an incredibly "sporty" engine (At least not in the States or for this generation) so "sports car" doesn't seem too accurate a description. I suppose it could be among the ranks of some economy cars (though that doesn't sound fair to this car), but the back seat is pretty cramped and hard to access what with the lack of two extra doors. There is a convertible version, that's a good niche to be in, so that I can believe: A well priced, fun to drive convertible. But it doesn't appear that the hard top version of this car would have too much going for it.

I don't mean to sound like I dislike this car though. I love the 95 GT that I get to drive. Everything about it seems to just make sense. I love how all the interfaces are layed out well for me to find easily. And it sounds good when accelerating quickly. It drives very easily as well, it's just so much fun. I couldn't ask for any other car to learn driving in.

But what is it?

maybe they just failed in the engine area, thats probably why so many of us did the 3sgte swap.... but the shape is one of the nicest i've seen, the layouts are exellent too...
