6G Celicas Forums

I think this new Scion is just a 3-door variant of well-known Toyota Premio/Avensis/Carina/Corona family. Nobody calls them sporty cars, because they are somewhere between Corolla and Camry. I read that Corona was the first Toyota at the American market and Americans completely ignored it.



By the way, there are powerful RWD and AWD Crowns and MarkII.

Something is wrong in this article.
At least Toyota have been producing BMW competitors for years.

Look at Toyota Chaser Tourer V with engine 1JZ-GTE - 280 hp, limited only by the Japanese laws, but easily tunable. Price in Japan $26800.



And it's successor Toyota Verossa with the same engine and Italian style.

There were also 4-door Toyotas based on Celica: Carina ED and Corona Exiv.

Curren was made for those Japanese who didn't like 4-eyes face of Celica.
Anything else are almost the same (it's coupe), engines were: 4S-FE, 3S-FE, 3S-GE

Though the prices of it were originally equal to those of Celica (the most expensive was ZS Sport selection equipped car - $20000), now it for some reasons cheaper.

When I see it at the road, I always look it back, nice car.

Those who have GT-Four complain that it's not very reliable and expensive to service. Most prefer the model with 3S-GE engine (180 hp) for everyday ride.

Toyota MarkII Grande G-Four with 1JZ-GE or MarkII IR-V with 1JZ-GTE (280 ps) or MarkII Fortuna Yamaha Power (305 ps)
Luxury, fast and reliable.
