I've been a long time Celica driver ('86 GT-S) and am now moving up the chain. A local dealer had a car advertised in the paper as a 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S. Now... As far as I know, there is no such car. I went to check it out, and it just seemed to be a GT, but on the back it indeed did say GT-S. It had the 5SFE motor, so there was no difference there. I assumed at first that maybe the car had just been rebadged, but after I learned the history of the car I started to wonder if that really was the case... The previous, and only, owner of the car was a middle-aged guy who apparently babied the car to death. There wasn't a thing in the car not stock, there wasn't even a cd-player... just the factory cassette deck. I don't see why on earth someone would just throw GT-S on the back for the hell of it, especially some middle aged guy who didn't do anything else to the car at all... So I considered one more thing - maybe where I live, in Canada, they released the GT as a GT-S instead. However, I found that when I went to get an auto-insurance quote online from government insurance, after I select Celica GT-S I am unable to select any year between 94-97. So then I did some browsing through Canadian Auto Traders and found that there were indeed a few more GT-S Celicas in years that there shouldn't be.
Link Link2 Link3 So I'm confused. I highly doubt the car was rebadged and it doesn't seem likely that the car was released in Canada as a GT-S... so what the heck is up? The only other thing I can think of it that this dealer himself has rebadged the car to try to squeeze a few more dollars out of it, but I know the fellow personally and am doubtful of that as well. I have yet to consult the dealer about the discrepancy, but I thought I would ask here first if anyone knows of the Celica GT being released as a GT-S in Canada or anywhere else. Thanks.
