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... -Nate ![]() (I really really hope this ISN'T true) |

Toyota Altezza... or IS200. 2.0 Liter Beams 3SGE. Dual VVT-i, on intake and exhaust sides, rated at 210 bhp. The 5sfe, as far as I know, isn't availiable in Japan... it's strictly an export.
A conspiracy theorist ehh? heh... I've heard things about Honda CVCC's (they have a different ignition design, small chamber above valves where the spark plug is)... and those things, when traveling behind a truck or something, can get very good gas mileage, say 80-90 mpg... but that's a dead design... |
