Further rumours that the Celica may rise from the ashes...
Automotive News is this week reporting that Toyota are going to bring back the Celica in 2009, pretty much re-itterating rumours from the start of the year (hybrid, 4WD option). Channel 4 News expands upon these by guessing at what such a car might look like: http://www.channel4.com/4car/news/news-sto...p?news_id=16733 In particular, several pundits thing that if there is a new Celica, it will be available in RWD and 4WD options, no FWD. Speculation is that there will be a grand tourer version, a coupe version and a roadster version all based on the same chassis (and probably essentially the same chassis as another Toyta/Lexus model - IS-F?). As a reminder, there have been a few concepts recently that could end up as the basis for a Celica. FT-HS  LF-A  LW-S  Possible MR2 (spyshot)  -------------------- Davey

"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn." "What?" "Just do it." ".......He said yes." "Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up." ".......Sweet. Thanks." "No problem." |

The tC looks more like our cars than the 7th gens. Is that so? The tC has a tall, squared nose versus the slanted, thin nose of the 6GC. tC is a boxy car, versus the Celica which is all curves. Heck, why are you even comparing it to ANY Celica. It shares NOTHING in common with them. A blind man could tell the HUGE difference. A 6GC and a 7GC are really low cars. Have you driven past a tC and noticed how hulking it looks? It gives you the impression that its window is taller than your roof. How many of you drive in fear because everything else around you is taller and you feel like about to get run over? The 6GC looks like nothing out there. To me, the tC wasn't even a Celica replacement per se. It just covered its market portion when it was discontinued. But what do I know? -------------------- Past - 7A-FTE: Will never forget you
