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...

as much as I would hate to see the end of the celica if all toyota could put out is more crap like the 7th gen then I wont loose any sleep over it.. personally I think if all they can could come out with would be a 8th gen built on the 7th gen platform then it would probalby be a favor to just end the celica line.

*in case you couldn't tell I hate the 7gc*

But if they came back the "S" series for the 8th gen then depending on how it looked I would probaby yank out my 3s and plant it in there.

BTW isnt there a version of the is300 that came with the 5sfe or 3sge motor? dont think it was USspec but overseas somewhere?

Toyota is making great strides and progres with hybrid technology. The new Prius is awesome. I've heard of that theory of the fuelcell/hydrogen etc...So far the only vehicle that has come forward with this technology is Honda with the Honda Dualnote. A quasi-NSX that rates around 400-500HP with 40-50MPG.

-Nate 


There has been an a design for years for a carbarater (sp?) that can supply upto 100MPG... but the designs keep gettin bought by the gas companies so they wont start being produced... which I hate to say is probably a good thing cuz our economy would probably not handle this very well.
