Toyota Celica GT
So I was never really into the car scene until the past year or two, but I often see Celicas still roaming the streets and always knew that they were somewhat "sporty". Did the Celica ever have the same allure and attractiveness as the BRZ/FRS back in its prime?
When I first saw a BRZ I was impressed, fascinated, and knew I wanted one in the future. I don't ever recall being as intrigued with the Celica - in my opinion I often overlooked it, or never noticed it. Sometimes I think they look nice, but then I stare at them a little longer and lose interest - especially the rear tail lights. I already believe that the 86 will leave a legacy, but do you think the Celica ever had anything going for it? |

The only Celicas that had soul to me where when it was still RWD, after all, it spawned the Supra.
Those late 70's Celica GTs and early 80's Celica GT-S will always make me look twice. I would love to get my hands on one again. edit: if i could get one of these... especially in white, I would not trade/sell it. I love me some 22RE engine. |

Seems like alot more love for the Pre-90s Celicas. Shame that you don't really see them on the road nowadays. They are much more appealing than the newer versions!

The FR-S/BRZ to me is basically a glorified Celica. FT-1 being the Supra.

The 1971-74 Celicas are excellent. I would not hesitate to get into another. In my opinion, they are one of the best classic cars to drive. :-)
