The the gt with the 1zz 140 horse engine is a girls car but the GTS was the real deal. The yamaha developed 2zz gts engine is still in use today in the elise and exige so check your facts.
FWD, made little impact on the racing segment, and it died without a wimper. Just because it had a good engine doesn't really mean squat if the car didn't do anything in the racing segment. To me, the MR-S with the 1ZZ was more of a sports car than the 2000-2005 Celica GT-S.

on yeah, FWD.

/yawn, it was a girls car.

Last REAL celica was the Alltrac.

What facts are there to check anyways? It was an opinonated response to an opinonated post (yours). Though I still stand by the fact that if a simple badge is a deal breaker on a car like this, then one has to wonder why you're looking to buy the car anyways.
