Yeah, ive often thought the same.......you'd think it would be a lot cheaper to make all GT's with the 3sge engine instead of two different runs of the same model.... rolleyes.gif Oh well, im with K2 with wishing that my celica = GT-4 biggrin.gif

well the reason for not putting the 3sge in the US celica is the fuel economy. americans want good fuel economy, becuase we drive SO much more than people elsewhere in the world. the US just isn't the market to push a lot of sports cars. one or two is ok, but i'm sure toyota didn't want to distract supra and mr2 potential owners with a cheaper powerful car.

Realistically, they should have put the 4agze in the ST and the3sge in the GT. I mean, honestly, why did our celicas turn into econo boxes in the mid 90's?

I was on the motorway (or highway..................whatever), and i saw a Yellow Ferrari 360 Modena on the other side, obviously i looked - and the rest is history!

Im happy with the 3sge under the bonnet- anyway, insurance is a bitch and in the UK it would cost me more to insure a GT4 than to buy one!!
