i was thinking, and ive been meaning to ask this (sorry if this is a repost) but if the US isnt selling the celica anymore, are other country's? and if so, do they still have the same body style? does anyone know what the next gen will look like?

It's difficult for someone who wants a little bit of speed to go with Toyota. I have faith in their engineering, I still believe you can beat the hell out of almost any of their cars, and it will beg for more.
The Scion series is a joke, it's misguided marketing that led people to believe anyone would purchase a xA/xB/tC. The tC looks nice, but as I understand it, is pretty slow and feels pretty dead, handling wise. At the moment, my Celica is up for sale. I love Toyota, never have anything bad to say about them, except they just don't cater to what I want. Speed, and good looks. Now it's all SUV's and this Scion crap. It's a shame to admit it, but "toyota sports car" is a thing of the past. I'm currently looking at a 98-99 eclipse GSX or GS-T, Mitsubishi may not be the greatest car company in the world, but they have what I want. I tried looking for an mr-2 turbo, but apparently people that have them either destroy them, or won't sell them at all. |
