I'm not sure what you're referring to, as obviously there was no 8th or 9th generation Celica.
Are you thinking of something like a Scion tC/Toyota Zelas?

Sorry, 2ZZGE was in many Corollas, the Matrix and the Pontiac Vibe. Yeah it's a great engine and they put it in the Lotus' for a reason, same reason the 4AGE was in Formula racecars, the BMW M10 was the most powerful F1 engine ever, that doesn't change the fact that they were mass produced for economy cars.
Yes, when the press releases and all reviews say "spiritual successor to appeal to millenials" I'll read that as "we changed the badge because marketing said this would work, we just want to keep building this car".
