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) |

Man, that scion is one ugly car. In fact, they all are. Even the logo is stupid looking. I'm tired of old people who work at car companies and car magazines trying to tell young people what to drive. The 2-door sports car is what everyone really wants. Why stop making it? Not everyone likes "Euro" looking hatchbacks. A lot of people will always like fast and sexy looking coupes. If companies want to keep selling 2 door cars, they need to keep them simple, and let people modify them as they please after they're bought. Companies started screwing up their coupes after they tried taking some of the aftermarket share of money by offering their own junk and driving up the price of their cars. Celicas, Civics, CRX's, etc. will always be popular because they were simple, cheap, affordable, and fun to modify, and also good looking. Those Scion cars are so far off from the good looking Celica designs it's not even funny. Since no one's going to make any good looking coupes anymore, I'm gonna have to keep my 6gc forever. |
