8th Gen Celica, You decide! Options

[BloodyStupidDave...]

Okay, a little diversion...

Someone posted a thread on another Celica forum and I thought I would do the same here. If you were lead designer for the Celica department at Toyota, how would you style the 8th Gen celica?

The rules:
* You may only post in this thread if you include an illustration in your post. Even if you are only replying to someone else.
* No duplicate images. You may modify someone elses image to illustrate your point.
* No bending of the rules (that includes trivial changes to an image just so you can post a reply)
* Anything goes (No judgements on quality of ideas or quality of draftsman skills, please)
* Its just for fun

Okay, to get the ball rolling... I dunno where this came from or even if it is Toyota (probably not). Google found it.



* Mercedes Benz CLK syle headlights for a modern take on the Gen6 look
* Quad Ferrari-shaped afterburner taillights
* Vanquish style rear end, hatch, rear quarters
* Supra style rear vents/scoops
* 6th gen GT4 style mid air intake
* all-wheel drive

the only statements i disagree with are those that say 'tC' stands for 'toyota celica'. i think that's coincedence. it was supposed to be the xC but volvo happened to have that. when i bought my tC, i did find the entire car to be just like my 6th gen with more modern styling inside and out and upgraded motor... and that new car smell. esentially, a fully loaded 6th gen celi gt wouldve felt like an almost direct upgrade. i had a base st with the only options being power windows and locks, so i was 'wowed' by the sunroof, audio system, 4 wheel disc brakes, abs, and the other extras that came in the release series i bought. i must agree the tC is the 8th gen and one of the things that stopped them from giving it the celica nameplate is that it wouldve affected their marketing srategy for the scion brand and their target audience. scion for life!

EDIT: Punch, I just noticed Jamasco in the background. is that jason's tC?
