The Celica is a sports car, or that's what Wikipedia says Options

i believe that a almost 80 thousand dollar car with 500 hp can be considered exotic

[darksecret]

The only reason some people wont consider a Z06 exptic is because it's American, go to Germany and see how many Z06's you find, the Z06 is either an exotic or an exotic killer. The Viper is classified as an exotic and in the area I live in (pop around 10,000) I can find about 5, there's less Celica's in this area than Vipers. Point is you can't classify an exotic by production numbers and demographics, only around 800,000 RX-7s were built since 1978 but they aren't exotic, even though for a worldwide market spanning over a 20 year period that is very low. If you do want to get technical special editions aren't exactly exotics since they're based on a more widely produced base, but don't tell that to SL65 owners. It's hard to classify an exotic, it used to be a very expensive racecar for the road, but now certain exotics such as Porsche, Maserati, and even Lotus are starting to become more open so that they can sell more cars, since most of the companies had to sell to larger companies like VW, Ford, etc. I think you'll be seeing Aston Martin SUV's, Ferrari sedans, etc. come rolling of the design table and into the showroom floor (unless gas stays the same, then it'll be Ferrari compacts).

i consider a sports car any 2 door car with the ability to be fast.

Sports car...its about how a car drives, not its specs, price, rarety or esthetics.

a 4 door M3's or STI's aren't sports car? come on...

integra TYPE-R, not a sports car? Yes it is.

a 140 HP miata ? yes!

my opinion...

I also think sports car should be considered in the decade it's been created, we all know technology changes.

^^so is a rx8 a sports car it has 4 doors

[DVSBastard]

I don't see what the big fuss is...? Can't a car crossover into more than one catagory? Why can't a car be both? For example, Sport / Luxury or Sport / Sedan, Sport / Wagon or even Sport / Utility?

Yes, they all exist!

thats a great point you got there, i sometimes call the celica a sports car, then soetimes an economy car

[BlackCelicaGT94]

lol any FWD isn't a true sports car. FWD cars can be sporty yes, but IMO none are true sports cars.

This is my dads exact reasoning for no 3sgte going in my car! lol! if its not AWD or RWD then why bother! and i agree! :-) one day ill have my supra! :-D till then ill just play with the 7mgte all the way to vegas for Supras Invade Las Vegas!
