I live in Japan, and when I just had to have a Celica convertible there was a long waiting list--pay now and wait. I talked to an auto broker, and he was able get me a display car from Yokohama, one of the first G6 Celica convertibles built, and they delivered it to my house a few days later, with about 100 miles on it, most of that from Yohohama to my house.
I keep it in top shape, because there is no other car I've seen at any price that I'd rather have. Just when I was going to buy another one like it new, the G7 came out. Anyway, it doesn't get a lot of miles on it, because we normally use trains in Japan to go any distance. Unlike the U.S. versions, this car came with a 200-hp inline 4, available only with manual. And, of course, it's right-hand drive. I had no idea there was such a thing as a G6 Celica forum or that the GT-Four wasn't sold outside Japan. From my wife's Web site: ![]() |
