Hopefully it comes here... and hopefully they don't goof on the engine.

Super... what I meant to say is that I live in Florida and my Family leaves in New Jersey. My sisters who are now growing up age 8 and 10 +my mom can no longer fit into my celica. We used to do it that way when they were smaller with my step father sitting in passenger seat but that was always for a short ride somewhere. Then they started traveling with like half their possessions and my little celi can no longer accomodate them. Heck I can't even pick them up in an airport.. they won't fit. So we have been renting SUV's for the last few years. Needless to say when we are all going to the keys for 1-2 weeks car rental turns into a thousand dollars. Pretty silly considering that they come here several times a year. So logically it would be nice to have a big(er) car. My eyes are set on evo but my heart longs for my celica. Such is the sad truth of my relationship with my sporty coupe. Engine goes vroom vroom, car puts a smile on my face but from practical standpoint I do need to get a car that is capable of serving as a travel car. I can go cheaper, of course but having some vroom behind the hood does not hurt either. Now I could wait for the FT-86 but in all seriousness waiting for it means putting a lot of trust into a car that has been canceled half of dozen times, postponed and reduced to a fraction of what it was supposed to be. Yeah it does look nice but more powerful version will be released sometime between 2012 and who knows when. 2+ years is actually quite a lot of time to wait for a promise that may never come.
I first got a celi in 98 and it has been a wonderful journey so far. I just hope that choices that I do make will give me as much joy as I had owning celicas he he he.
