[azian_advanced]

ever seen this before? i just thought it was cool... i can't say i like it, neither can i say i dislike it...








and on a side note, i found this on the Ultimate Celica Forum... it's like 6gc.net but in japanese, it's bigger and with a lot of content.. i still have to visit all the sub-forums and look at more celicas! 3/4 of the cars are gt-fours and are tastefully modded... oh man. soo cool!


oh and i found this handy How-To page, read it and you'll learn a lot of misc things.. (translated)

How-To Articles am i allowed to steal info like this?

My opinion is very similar to the one said by GriffGirl in her first reply...
To me the 7th gen looks quite cool, but only after you change some parts of the suspension which will lower it down a bit, and those tiny wheels (what are those...14" or something ), but seing the 6th gen and 7th gen one beside the other on autostrada in Italy this summer (yes...PECM it was), the 7th gen looks like some poor Hyundaish half baked product...

The 6th gen however (and I´m not saying that in favour of just the GT4 but the ST, and GT also) looks like a proper sportscar...wide, round and very sleek...and not just compared to the 7th gen, but also Honda Prelude, Hyundai Coupe (Tiburon in the USofA), Eclipse and others...
There is another thing in my mind about the two...the 6th gen is an OLD car, and STILL looks far more attractive completely stock, than most of the cars made today, while 7th gen looks probably pretty cool today, but how will it compare when the examples on the road surpass some 10 years of age...I think not very good.

So, needless to say that mixing these two cannot be cool...ever!
IMHO of course...

AFAIK the only car that looks even remotely cool with front end taken from the next model in the evolution would be the 200 SX...and that´s it.
