I owned
1986 celica
1987 celica
1993 all trac celica
four 1994 celicas.
I have been with
www.6gc.net pretty much since the beginning (which is a lot of years). In all that time I did notice a trend that celica drivers are picky. For example many 6gc owners do not like 7th gen celicas.
I do not know if they will like FT-86 though. 6th generation celica is voluptious, smooth flowing, curvy and gorgeous from every angle. By contrast FT-86 is radical, chop chop with lines and other funky panels. I figure FT-86 may be on the shopping list for a lot of 6gc owners who's celicas are going out of commission as time flies by... but FT-86 will never be the same.
Now if toyota released mopar-like 6th generation all track celica here in usa... there woul d be thousands drooling to get that car. (even if it had no changes to it at all... just start reproducing 1994-1999 all track gt4 celicas as they were).
mmmm... begins to drool.
