So I'm wondering, if toyota brought back the celica line, what would it look like? please don't say FT-86 cuz that's FT-86 not a celica. I'm just doing a bit of research, wondering what celica lovers would like to see in a new celica.

Some of my ideas were either to go oldskool like the mustang and camaro and make the new one look like a 1st gen celi

or

Keep with everyone on this futuristic looking style, sleeker bodylines and whatnot.

opinions?

Toyota would almost invariably go for a modern look. The original Celica isn't exactly iconic like the Challenger, Camaro, or Mustang. If they made a modernized first gen, most people wouldn't know what it was and say Toyota copied the Mustang.

I don't think a new Celica would resemble the 7th gen at all. I think it would be more like the (slap me) FT-86 in terms of styling. The LF-A and FT-86 are going for that look, so that's probably where Toyota is headed with their sports car styling. I say that as if Toyota had big plans for sports cars...
