Ever seen a 7th gen (slightly modified) jumping off a mound into a lake of mud in the middle of the Sahara? I didn't think so, 6th gen (liftback:) for life!

Though I think the GT-Four is really just a modern day unicorn... they don't exist. Sure they're in video games, sure you can download pictures of them - even ones with girls... nevermind. But have you ever seen one? I think not. And ones with hand made GT-Four stickers don't count.

I absolutely love my GT....Only things that i would change however are to have a smaller steering wheel with the ergonomical hand-grippy things and slightly more supportive seats, a 5th gear that was geared a little bit lower (so you could cruise with the flow of traffic without such high revs), and a little more power when you want it. Oh and a cupholder that you can actually use....

A 7th Gen. GTS embodies all of the improvements that i wish for in my car, and then some. It feels great to sit in, and resembles the feel of my GT very closely but has a kick ass engine and lots of higher range power to spare, along with a 6th gear for the highway and a refined interior.

Either way, you cant go wrong with a Celica...I just see the 7th gen as a more refined version of what i drive. wink.gif

this is the wrong site to get the right answer for this question... at first i wanted the new one ... my dad offered me my 6th gen, and i just fell in love with it... and then woke up the next morning and realized it was teal, the lighting at night made it look blue...but it was still stickshift, and i had fun learning how to drive it. Now it has a 3sgte and is faster than all the 7th gens i run into...

7 gen is crap.
I have a GT4 so its not a Unicorn. The car was just never imported in the States.
I believe the starter of this thread is from UK so, hey man get a GT4. You can easily find one for less than 10k there. But you have to be ready for the higher petrol costs and other expenses (insurance maintenance etc.)

When I purchased my 6GC 2 months ago...everyone thought I was crazy to buy an older model (1999) instead of an 2000 or higher. I guess they didnt think I knew what I was doing! I told them I purchased the newest "older" model. I LOVE the 6th G's....I dont think I would ever buy one of the newer models....they look like lego cars to me haha....Anyway just adding my opinion... dont hate me! lol smile.gif
