Necro from 2007!

The above car is coming back as the FT-86. They’re also doing something with the MR2 (spiritual successor or somesuch).

The Celica is as dead as last year….and should not be brought back. The reason why production stopped is because there werent enough hairdressers out there to justify continuing producing it. It was a crappy car anyway. Toyota should utilise it’s TRD division (think rally) to build a new sports car from scratch, a car that reflects the TRD rally tradition…decent looking, a light but strong body,strong engine, turbo, all wheel drive,and sports everything. Honda has Type R, Nissan has Skyline, 370Z and GTR, Mitsubishi has Evolution and Ralliart, Mazda has MPS,Subaru has WRX STI, etc etc… What does Toyota have? nothing. Just yesteryears sport cars – supra,celica, MR2. Anything that cannot compete with an Evo or STI is just a waste of time, really.

I hope it come backs the Celica.Currently unless you want a hot hatch There is nowhere for the people who drove affordable sports coupes for them to change over to.
I still remember the time way back in the early nineties when my Brother on P Plates said No to the Celica of the day instead opting for a crappy 2 Litre Nissan Pulsar which I found to be rather selfish considering It could have been something my now dead father would have enjoyed driving

ok first of all the last gen. celicas are prob.the best car ever built aside from the almost emaculate gas useage for such a high reving engine it holds its value better than any car.the people who whine that it has such a high price tag did u ever think that your getting the best quality parts that no other vehicle matches you pay for what you get dumbos.oh its so weak it takes to long to get anything out of it . stop and think dumbasses its only a 1.8 litre and still beats cars with double the size engine if this thing even had a 3.0 litre in it would blow away 95 percent of the cars out there you people should use your brains when trash talking the celica and think for a second.

Hey…I have a gorgeous 2001 Celica and I was reading these posts today and almost choked when I read above “the only people caught driving them are 40yr old chicks who think it looks ‘cute’” – I am a 40 year old chick (who looks 30, btw – lol) and find that comment absolutely hilarious! Amazing how some people have spot-on Simon Cowell observations. That being said, I do think my car is cute. AND, it’s phenomenal on gas, and I still get tons of compliments when people see it. Granted, the compliments are from chicks but hey – a compliments a compliment! Bring back the Celica, I ‘d love to own a brand new one!

if you can make the aurion do 9.9 liters to 100 km and still make it go 6.8 from 0 to 100 km then i can only imagine what a sports car would be like if toyota put some effort into it. just make sure to make it look good too. and do NOT put the speedo in the centre console.

Make it rear wheel drive, engine range at 1.8l to 2.4l and possibly a GT-4 model and we have a winner of a car thats guranteed to be sucessful.
