It seems to me that Toyota has it marketing strategy shoved so far up its ass that it is regurgitating it all up, but in a bad way. Why is it that Toyota invested so much in the 5th and 6th gen celicas and completely cut everything out of the 7th. the 5th and 6th had convertibles, all wheel drive, turbo, GT/ST models, liftbacks, hatchbacks, humpbacks, what have you. but the 7th gen they did nothing like this save a GT-s model. I have never seen a 7th gen ST before, always been GT's or GT-s. and now they are cutting them from production in North America. Why would Toyota be so naive? Perhaps if they didnt charge so damned much...

admittedly they were way off on cutting out the GT-FOUR. look whats hot right now, WRX, EVO. but I think the rest of their 'plan' seems to be working out for them. scions are selling well as did the 7th gens in their first few years of production
not saying I'm happy about it, but I don't think its fair to blame toyota either, they are afterall trying to make a buck like everyone else as for the st/gt thing. for the 7g the gt was their st model, gts was their gt .. |
