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) |

The Celica not a sports car? You must be kidding.
If the celica is not a sports car then what kind of car was carlos sainz was driving when he was winning all those chiampionships? The problem is that \many thigs are different and different countries. In the US the distances are bigger, the cars are a lot bigger etc. In my country a 2000cc car is considered a big car. I live on a small island and the distances are not that great, so people do not need large and high powered cars. So the measure of comparison is different from country to country. I have a GT4 and my friends have SS III and GT4s and even if you do not tune this cars they are sport enough. SS III 200bhp, 21 torque GT4 260bhp, 31 torque I agree with many of you that the 7th gen is a bit crap. But not a lot. in my point of view the 7 is decent. Marketing and promotion plays a big role. Just look what Mitsubishi, Pegeot, Subaru accomplished. You just cannot say you have a sports car if you dont race it internationally against other cars. And i do not think that anyone disagrees with me when i say that Impreza or the Lancer has a sports car design Personally 6g Celica best car ever. (first gen Celica in second place-just loved the rwd when i was kid) |
