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

sporty camry? then that would make your car a sporty corolla since the 7afe was on there... im with mac, i love my st too... almost sounds like ure saying what you hear because a 5spd tc is actually faster than a manual gts. those cars have no torque compared to the tc and off the line, every race ive witnessed, the gts gets spanked. i hate to rank on any gen celica, but ure just hating on a car youve probably never driven or been in.

The 7th Gen GTS owns the tC especially the 6 speed. Been proven in our club since the 7th Gen guys got p-envy because they were not the newest Toyota car out. They felt they had to prove they were faster than the tC and they were right. I have witnessed many 7th Gen vs. tC races and the tC never came out on top. Never. Even a nicely modded GT can beat an equivalently modded tC. And my 6th Gen GT is waaaaay faster than my tC. Not opinions - fact supported by many friends who actually own/race the cars including a release series which is very sweet BTW.
BTW - I like my tC alot but it's not as quick [due to the weight I think] as the older gen Celica's. <= that's right I said it.

I second this. This is INDEED fact! Jason you just got lucky that one time. I told you and you know it. >:P

BUT STILL GUYS! TC = NOT 8th GEN. Sorry, stop trying to replace the Celicas with the TCs. Just not gonna work. I don't care what you believe in, if the maker says its not, its not.
