ST185 Celica All-Tracs were sold in the U.S. up until 1993 so that's like what
16 years ago. For us 30+ year old guys 1993 seems like just yesterday.
And as reported earlier, The ST185 is Toyota's most successful rally car. It won the
WRC Driver's Championship in 1992, and the
WRC Manufacturer's and Driver's Championships in 1993 and 1994.
Despite what many of you think the Celica name has a lot of very successful racing history tied to it and would be way better than SCION, although I'm not completely opposed to a new name either.
