Hey all,

I'm always looking for something fun to do to my gen 6, well today I was driving my gen 7; I looked down, and said, why not shove the gen 7 center console in the gen 6 car.... so I went to searching and I can't find a single article or forum post where someone has done this.

I'm tempted, anyone given it a try?

I like the shiny grey finish, and the configuration better than the current, the cup holders are nicer than those that slide out.

I suppose 99% of all car related things like this are a matter of opinion. I personally think the 6th gen has the best looking of the Celica's (though I do love the area wrapped around the steering wheel of the 4th gen). I will give you the cup holders suck in the 6th gen ... if you even want to call them that.

Wait ... are you just talking about the part from the shifter (where it meets the dash) to the storage area or are we talking the whole center area up on the dash as well (like the HVAC controls and radio area)? Cause that's what I like on the 6th and dislike on the 7th. The area of the shifter to the storage area I would probably area are better designed on the 7th. Though I like the high storage area to rest my elbow on.

I'm thinking from the heating controls back would be a way to go, so hvac, shifter, storage area..
