The Death of the Celica may mark a new era of toaster vehicles as sales of the Celica slow. This is possibly due to the low price of the Z and the Celica's approching cost of the Z. Initially, Celica sales were up almost 230% from the 6G but sales have reportedly deteriorated.

The death of the Honda Prelude may of influenced Toyota's decision to eliminate the Celica for the 8th generation (in U.S. anyway). What will replace it? Most likely the xC...Toyota Caldina. (or the Corolla hatchback)

More as more develops...

Whatever, I ain't really offended just something that made me laugh inside is all. Pissed me off at first but I'm gladthat my earlier comments didn't turn out to be false and that I was right. It's all good in the hood Nate...props to the actual magazine support of what I just heard verbally. I'm glad that Toyota is shifting it's weight, it needs to do soemthing.

even though the weight is shifting from the enthusiast to broad market family grocery getters? bah, i dont mind, their doing great, but it seems like theyre leaving the enthusiast nothing to the imagination... no celica? supra talk dying? everything fuel cell?? leave us SOMETHING to stimulate the toyota enthusiast....

i read something don't know which mag it was in.. i'm looking though all of them right now... but it said that toyota will be the first company to come out with a fuel cell sports car... and that it most likly be the new supra or some version of it...has anyone else heard or read this?
