Ya, that is pretty ugly. However, if they talking about an engine upgrade to 2.4L and 250hp then that would be pretty cool if it were put in a different body.

found it on autospies.com. it also states it will only be released in japan.

Whatz wrong with TOYOTA guys??

They run out of ideas????

From what I've heard, Scion is getting the Celica this year and renaming it to the tC. 2.4l 168hp 160ft/lb.
Scion tC

:edit: TRD is already making parts for it.

i like it.. just not the color..

well, i was at the dealership yesterday.. they're getting the TC's in stock (around my area) next month, and i hear they're just a blast to drive. can't wait to test drive one.. considering a 2004 celica is like 21 grand almost, the TC might be a cheaper alternative.

the TC is very different from recent celica. it is going to be to the celica, as a civic is to an RSX, they are made for the same class, but one is more expensive.

and at the recent major auto shows, the toyota reps said that toyota is planning to still have the celica with a new model comming out soon

that car has a 350Z look to it... although I can also see the Scion TC in it's lines.

I've seen that pic before, only as a supra concept.

i've seen the supra concept, it looks different from that. although not too much. the front on the supra had headlights which were almost in the grill.

I actually like that design. the shape of the front bumper leaves something to be desired but I like the short front/rear overhang. not to mention the rear pillar remeniscent of the original celicas and those muscular fenders... its dead sexy

by the way, it repeatidly says Celica in that article, just to clear up any doubts there.. I'll translate the rest later

I've seen/read about this already... although it's most likely not gonna make it in 2005... maybe 2006 or later. As for the engine... it's said yamaha is designing a head similar to the 2ZZGE head (VVTL-i) and it will probably sit on the 2AZ block, or a modified version of one (high compression, stronger rods, etc...). It was mentioned in Road and Track's new tuning magazine SPEED. As for the power output... it's estimated at 230 hp (which is around 250ps)... and will probably be in the 170-180 ft lbs of torque neighborhood (based on the 2AZFE).

i'm sorry, i just can't see that car being anything close to a celica. I mean, if anything, our cars have gotten sharper lines over time. it looks to me like an extremely rounded off 7th gen front.

it's like they took a 7th gen / 6th gen / 350Z and merged them in to one car.

i see no 6th gen. just 7th and Z

yeah, you're right.. the more i look at it.

Uhhh it looks more like a tiburon then anything. I like some of the shape but I have all this futuristic minimalist **** they do with concepts, remember the 80's, it didnt ****in work!

you know what really looks like a newer tiburon in the front, is the scion TC.. since it was mentioned in this forum. I personally think the lights kinda look like it, with an extra flare towards the fenders.

yeah TC looks like the child of a new tiburon and a 2005 volvo S40... now as for this pic lets rememebr this is ALL artist's rendering- not a spy shot... and if you look at it closely, i see first gen celica coupe modernized, imo... full width front grill, rear pillar vents, fender flaring, similar hood buldging effect...
