6G Celicas Forums

Hi all,

A quick question.

Many people consider the Celica a girl car... Is the following one?

1997, Toyota, Celica, ST204R SX, Liftback, 5 Seats

Manual and Black.

Some photos can be seen here:

Some enlightenment, comments, arguments and persuasion would be helpful.

I'm a 20yr guy and not so into cars. I like the colour but just the stereotype I'm afraid of. Help me out people.

Ty.

hummm... Most of us conciter our cars girls, and refer to them as such. However, most of us here are also guys. During 94-99 the demographic showed that prodomately women purchased the 6th gens, however, today, it's mostly guys that own them. It may be due to the fact that they are super reliable and easy to upgrade. Plus they just look freakin awesome

But if you want something that looks more "manly" then go buy a mustang and blend in with the croud

its not a girl car. its a car, stereotypes are bad.

D-Man, watch out. Ive seen a lot of mustangs not being driven by men. so, it really does not matter.

As long as there are no pink pinstripes or tweety floormats you may be allright

girl car....

HAH-HAHA!! Playr Drives a GIRL car

njccmd2002; i feel like my celi is a girl, and alot of people will look at photoshoot and say something like "man, she looks nice" and ect. But I see what you're saying about it dosen't MAKE it a girl car. I personaly feel like my car is a chick... But maybe it's just because i feel comfortable inside them.... Inside "celicas" But you can totaly make a manly build out of a celi

Just because most of the people on this forum are guys doesn't mean the majority of 6th gen owners aren't still female. It just means all the guys who own then are more likely to look for aftermarket products and do-it-yourself help that you might get on a forum. Most of the women who own them just drive them.

yup, without a doubt, the celica as we know it (the USDM versions) is a "girl car"
the four on the other hand IMO is much more "manly"

yup I drive a Jetta :wave:

If you look at sales, more women bought the 6gc then men.

I prefer to look at it as I feel manly enough to drive a "girl's car"

Chick Car unless its a ST205

Tell that to my Celica.

For the OP, don't be afraid of stereotypes unless it's a Miata.

Or a Kia.

girl car with HUGE manly potential

the majority of mustang owners are woman as well
celica is more sleek and sexy, not big and beastly

Or sheep that buy them because they think they'll be cool; and believe that there is still some prestige in that plastic thing...

Theres a difference between a car that's considered a girl and a "girls car"...IMO, I consider my car a girl, but not a girls car. These cars have soo much potential to look b/a.

ST205 = man's car

all the other celicas are belong to girls.


That's why i drive it and girls dig it! w00t!

It's all a matter of how comfortable you are with your sexuality. For example, (even though I'm a chick) I can look at a lot of these guys and say, Hey, these guys must be really comfortable with their masculinity since they drive a chick car"
