I think they do. People have way to much pride... they hate on other gen Celica's... Honda's... etc. They're all good cars. What should really matter is if the owner driving the car is cool, or if he/she is an idiot.

One- I love my 6gen celica and would never swap it for anything, apart from a Porsche 911 Turbo (993) ocean-jade with black leather int. As if that would happen.

Second- Me personally I like the 5th gens, the others seems to be similar to other types like a copy of other brands. 1st was a reply to the US Mustang. And 2 - 4 look too close to other models.

Thirdly- I consider them heritage which we are now apart off.

Lastly- The 7th gen is more of a cencept car to me and standard ain't that good. Drop in a good engine and a body kit then I'll take a peek at em.

Good engine? The 7th gen's have great engines. How can you say that they aren't good? Especially when you compare them to the 7A and 5S... I think the 7th gen's, just like the previous gens, are awesome.

I have no idea why everyone hates 7th gens here. Is it because there are so many of them or something? They're a perfectly fine car. I thought about getting one myself, just because I wanted a new car.

[Andason]

I used to own a 5th and liked the 6th more then my car, but I still loved my 5th. I don't like 7th, but I would still drive one. I hope they come out with something better when it's time to get a new car

[marcusk]

I didnt like the 7th when it first came out, but it has grown on me, i like the styling of it, and regardless of what people say, they do have pretty good engines.

[Supersprynt]

The only reason i dont like the newer celica's is because they're everywhere, like the Civic.

[97sccelica]

if toyota makes the engine, i have no problems with it.

i would drive a 7th gen and a 5th gen. the other gens are just too old for me. i like the 6th gen best for the way it looks. then i like the 5th gen because it is roundish like the 6th gen and because of the alltrac!!

the 7th gens look ok. the only thing i dont like about their engines is that (the gts anyways) has too little low end torque. i understand that the new celicas are a lot faster than mine and that gives them a plus and while there are a lot of 7th gen celicas, there are still much more civics, integras, and rsx's out there.

i like all cars. all cars require a lot of engineering to be made. its the owners that make me mad. people buy cars for the wrong reasons in this day, and too many people are ill informed on what performance parts do for an engine.

i originally wanted a 3000gt, but i changed my mind when i learned more about the problems they tend to have. i turned to a 6th gen celica because i wanted something easy to drive and good on gas and they look great and are pretty rare.

That shouldn't be a reason for you not to like it. It's everywhere because it's a good car. I agree that it can be rather annoying seeing the same car all over the road, but it's still a good car in terms of its sleak design and performance.

[aaronc222]

The 7th is a good car overall, but I don't care for the style. As for the 1st-5th hating us, I know that a lot of 1st-3rd gen owners don't consider 4th+ in the same category because they are RWD while we are FWD.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

i know of no new celica owners that give our car props! and ill admit that i like new celicas but now im starting not to because you can get them with the action package! but anyways from the celica meets ive been to (ALL TRAC MEET, NEW CELICA, ALL GENERATION MEETS) plus people ive talked to they love our generation. Most people say they love the style of our car

Just what ive gathered

I couldn't agree more! Obviously, everybody has different reasons for choosing the car they have and here are mine:
1) a GOOD, reliable car
2) a car that was sporty
3) a car that got decent gas mileage - NOT a gas guzzler
4) something affordable - under 15 grand
Lastly, I wanted a car that wasn't ubiquitous( how ya like that word?) I've always liked having something that not many people have. Yes, it's true that the good cars are everywhere for a reason - they're good cars! My mom drives a Civic and both of my sisters drive Accords and they're both GREAT cars but I wouldn't trade my Celi for all of them.

I certainly wouldn't buy a piece of crap just because it was unique but the trick is to find that car that's reliable but also turns heads. I think we're lucky that we all drive the best kept secret in the auto industry.

i dont have a problem with the 7th gens, my friend has one and its not that bad, ill tell you what, if they had an engine with more potential id like them a lot more (3s-gte) but yeah the 2002gts in carbon blue with a cf hood and high wing was gorgeous on celica.net...i forget his user name, im sure you know of him if you frequent there...his sig is taken on top of a building..

[boosted_K2]

i like 7th gens alot, really cool lookin cars, theyre just one of those cars, if i had enough money for one, id probably buy something else...

[Benevolence]

I like all of the generations of celica's, my favorite is the 5th gen all trac (would be 6th gen gt4 but i dont think its fair to count it since its not available in north america) then 6th gen.

[macavely]

i really like the first gen celi.... it just looks like so sweet... they only body style celi i'm not feeling is the 4th gen... it just looks to me like something is missing off of it...as for the 7th gen I will be getting one.... the gts has a great engine... that keeps up with the RSX Type S ...... and a few companies make a tubo kit for it, and it has a lot of other aftermarket support...I love my celica an i'm going to have it till the wheels fall off.....

[7aek]

i luv my 6th gen and for the money to buy a 7th gen... i think i'll buy something else wif a lil more money. however... i like the 7th gen engine. it's juss complicated like all~~~~ toyota engines. therefore hard to squeeze out power. but i saw 7th gens jumpin from 160 to 190 hp from a supercharger. i dun think anthing can get any better than that. however. 6TH GEN FO LIFE~~~~~~~~~.
