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

tC has absolutely nothing to do with the celica, at all. it has an unimpressive motor, and doesn't have an aggressive look like the 5th-7th gens have had.


if anything, it's a sporty camry. in fact, the same motor is found in the camrys & solaras.

unimpressive motor? no offense but what would you call yours? i have an auto st too and the tC's motor is pretty sweet. i mean, compared to a supra, it's unimpressive. but then again, so is a supra compared to a mclaren.

Jason you are out of class. You can't compare a low class car to a mid class car. That's like saying I have a pencil too and a pen is pretty sweet. compared to a sharpee its unimpressive. but then again, so is a sharpee compared to a marker.

Oh yeah, and the TC has nothing to do with the Celica. The whole TC replacing the Celica scene was just a minor misthought from enthusiasts. It was more of a, "What? No more Celicas? Oh, the TC just came out so I guess they are replacing them or they are the new Celicas."

As much as I like the tC's, they can never replace the Celicas. People need to stop trying. Cuz if it was indeed a Celica, it would be called a Celica. Not even in Japan they call it a Celica.
