Indeed not all drivers are drifters, and most people that think they are drifting are actually just diong powerslides (ie sliding out of control). Nevertheless, a car designed to be a drift monster can and probably will do other styles/tasks well. I mean, Landrovers are arguably some of the best off road vehicles but they also make great commuter right? Bad example but you get my point.

Also, Celicas were historically RWD until they changed them in 1986. I'd hate the Celica tag too but what else can they call it in the US??? Trueno? Levin? COROLLA? haha. So yah... Celica ftl I'd take Celica over Scion branding any day.
