Saw the video.

Shall we look at Lexus sports car history. Say. No more

IS-F, LFA, RC-F, upcoming LC500 which seems to have evolved from a FT-1. So no matter what like the man said every sport car will be badged as Lexus end of story. The LC500 just seems like a competition for the GTR and NSX being released end of this year.

And Lexus needs to shut up about their 306hp 2GR-FSE that came out 11 years ago. Seriously I hear it in all their radio commercials. You couldn't up the power while retaining better MPG? Oh that's right we slapped an extra 200lbs to our 3rd gen IS, but it handles better...

You want quality ha. My auto professor told me all wiring harness for Toyota 2016 and up a will be all white with color coated tips before each connector pin. Ha just to save money but so making it a nightmare to work on..

The FR-S wasn't a Lexus, neither was SF-R concept.

At this point I have this feeling that Toyota had preplanned the demise of the Scion to coincide with their attempt to reinvent the brand with new life in America, especially after witnessing the most successful year in America last year and witnessing the continually fall of Scion in sales. This is why the SF-R looked so damn production ready, because they are going to try to fill the Scion tC sized hole in the lineup with a smaller sporty car that is more geared towards cruising than all out canyon carving. I think if you stretch out and widen the SF-R and put either a 1.5 turbo or a 2 liter straight 4 (i'd rather have this than an inline), curve the ass a little more, you have a Celica.

The true sports cars will most likely be Lexus, but I still think there is room for a sporty grand tourer.



Just saw this directly after posting. That is unreal they would do that to the wiring harness.

I can only imagine being home sick for training day on the new harness and showing up to work to plug in the harness and being all like "wtf?" lol




Ok Ok one last edit:

So doing some research, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Motorsport_GmbH these guys are the people responsible for our beloved gt-fours. SINCE they have already completed the SF-R as a racing concept... is it so hard to see that Toyota is already giving hints that it MAY it MAY it MAY be considering the SF-R to compete in the same market that the GAZOO guys competed in all those years ago?

lol guys, its nice to dream. but i doubt its happening. toyota may produce a new car, but a model line will not be revived.

for every celica enthusiast, there are hundreds that disliked it. so they would want to start fresh. because they would like to sell more than a couple huundred,

Think about what the revival of the Z line did for Nissan, Toyota can do that as well!

I know what they want, they want to follow the same line as Nissan and turn the Z into a crossover, the GripZ, and probably compete against it with the new C-HR and call it a legacy name, but I know Toyota wouldn't be so silly as to name a crossover after the revived Celica name *deep gulps*

You are an optimist, but Toyota has turned their back on your dream quite a few years ago. If you want Toyota's newest sports offering buy the new Corolla and drive into the sunset or better yet a Prius C. Everything else is a pipedream and should be treated as such. Toyota performance is dead face it or not......

I believe the Celica name is dead, but I think there will be a successor to the tC.

funny thing about pipe dreams is that's how I sleep best

I've actually called a couple dealerships just to have them start asking around, maybe get some hype going.

BRING BACK THE SOLARA! But only available in beige.

I figured it was only a matter of time, I actually had some hope when the Toyobaruion GT-RZS came out and with the ceo saying he'd like Toyota to return to making exciting vehicles. Though I guess lackluster sales and excitement fizzling out so quickly pretty much killed that.

Bring back the echo and the yaris

The Scion iA is a Toyota Yaris Sedan Outside of the U.S. Market. Now that Scion is out of the picture. Maybe Toyota will rename the iA as the Yaris Sedan for the U.S. Market later this year(I understand youre probably making a Joke. But im just saying. )

The Echo was a SOLID little car, I see them rollin round the hood doing 40mpg with 3 wheels, a bicycle tire, and a door missing, with 900,000 miles.

then what about the Tercel?!

bring back the FJ, Corona, Cressida, and the toyota model F van

The Paseo would be my car of choice.

or the toyota carina or corona

The Echo is what replaced the Tercel, and the Yaris the Echo. The Paseo was a jazzed up Tercel, and the second generation actually looked pretty cool.

Paseo was called something else in Japan and Europe and could come with a 1.4 turbo that was easily 'enhanced' for some pretty nice power figures for a car that weighs as much as a fart.
