Hmm. IMO I think the FT-86 can replace the Celica as the sports car in their lineup. The Celica after all was similar in weight (~2500 lbs), power(~190 hp), number of seats(2+2), number of doors(2), price(top model costs ~$19K), transmission options(6 speed), rev limiter(~8400 RPM), and other factors such as fuel economy will probably be the same or better. The only main difference is that this car is RWD and is using a boxer engine. But theoretically speaking, if the Celica fit in to the lineup back then, then the FT-86 can fit in now. They are both affordable sport cars from Toyota.
