I miss the Celica. I grew up in the original version

Problem is the GR’s have other type drivetrains. Supera has a BMW engine and transmission. The 86 has a Subaru engine and transmission. So the Celica GT can bridge gaps. Have an EV and also either a 1.6t or 2.5 NA Toyota developed four cyl. With a DCT wet clutch 6-7 speed and include a 6spd manual. From experience tho if you want a faster car choose the DCT in whatever speed.

When Akio was the boss of the anti-EV gang, Koji was the leader of the squad. And now the boss's chair is his, and Akio is enjoying a leisurely meal on the terrace of his home wearing a gown. After this, if Toyota continues to develop under his direction, no one will complain even if he has at least one personal project. All the more so if it makes car guys all over the world happy.

Sounds real good!!

Are they going to limit production that leads to dealer mark ups, like the GR Corolla?

They need to stop worrying about where it fits between the 86 and the Supra! Neither of those are truly Toyota! They need to make a lightweight car with a potent 4cyl engine. It needs to be rear wheel drive with a six speed MANUAL TRANSMISSION! It would be quick, nimble and most importantly, ALL TOYOTA! Thank you for listening to my rant 😂 Seriously though, I haven't been interested in the Celica since they went front wheel drive 🤬

The most pretty Celica was built around 1976 !!! I had one !!!

I've had 2 Celica in my life. One used one new. Both rather nice and exciting cars. Celica are great enthousiast cars that are reliable and unexpensive. Obviously kind of anemic and lacking on the power band, but fun to drive. Nothing wrong with a Celica in fact, at least for a teenager who could utterly kill himself with a STi in 30 seconds, he will remember just how lucky he was to have an underpowered two toned Celica GTS, 30 years later in his C8 Z06 just like me.

I would love to own the new Celica. I own a 6th gen Celica now I’m trying to restore. But trying to find parts for it is impossible!!!!! Not even the junk yards have them!!! Any ideas??? I own a 1994 Toyota Celica ST AT200

I never really thought of the Celica as a real sports car. Just a 2dr economy car with a “sport” look.

My Celica drives for 12 years with no maintenance at all before selling it, and I regreted until now. Would be great to revive the Celica just like mine (with pop-up lights)

I think they will just make a 2 door Prius, slap the nameplate Celica on it and call it a day. However, the MR-2 is more likely to happen in my opinion.

Most people don't want EV, give the consumer what they want, then your bottom line will turn around. Beautiful Dealerships with used vehicles for sale are not appealing, nor is it worth visiting. The door of science swings both ways, suggest companies build practical appeal, rather than expensive less appeal auto's. Load dealerships with cars, and watch what happens, it's not political, but it is common sense, that used to make sense.

Celica 👊🏽

A Corolla base Celica coupe would be cool.

The problem with the 7th generation is people couldn’t get used to the looks for the vehicle. The 2ZZ engine had potential but sadly Toyota didn’t use it much (other than the Celica GTS, Matrix and Corolla XRS). Still the 7th gen has issues aside from the looks, like blind spots and performance was that great for the price point. The 6th suffered from NO all-trac turbo model (USDM) basically making it a sporty looking coupe (NOT a sports car). The 4th and 5th gen at least had the All-Trac turbo (3S-GTE) for the US model, however during those generations, Honda was the more popular choice by tuners due to pricing and bigger aftermarket support. The 3rd gen and it’s predecessors came as RWD which is what Toyota should’ve continued with. But as far as aftermarket support, there isn’t much. It sad really cause other than the last body style, I personally think the celiacs were very stylish designs, too bad the performance didn’t like up to the looks. Electric or not, hopefully Toyota will come up with a fun to drive vehicle which will allow for the aftermarket to tune these cars.

Blind spots? Dude my 01' GT-S and 88' Supra have better visibility than any new car pretty much. Sure it's not a 4-door glass box, but new cars are much worse for visibility because of higher doors and generally more cramped. 2ZZ was actually used in a ton of models, but obviously Celica (and Lotus) are the most well known. It's an insane engine for the money that will not be done again. I welcome the Celica back, but It will not be the affordable fun and light car it was before.

I wish they would had bought back the MR2 instead!!

Will it compete with the Civic Si and will they replace the GR Supra with a MR2? Other sources suggest that the Supra is here to stay while stricter regulations have rumored the new Supra to be a hybrid sports car. Celica might not be a viable option since Toyota sells two sporty vehicles achievable to anyone (accounting without dealership markup), which are the GR Corolla and 86, that competes with the Civic Si, WRX and other cars in the similar price range. I believe that the Celica badge name will become a trim level instead of being itself a model, similar to the Celica Supra trim level. GR Corolla Celica would be a good option considering the rally heritage that Celica has. Overall, I wish to not tarnish the name of the Celica.

The only problem is that most people want be able to afford it, just like Honda is bringing back the Prelude, and the starting price will start at 48000.00, and I am betting the Celica will be high dollar too.

Gr86 is basically a Celica. We need a new MR2. A new midship Toyota would be way more interesting than another coupe

I'm not a fan of the potential electric aspect due to the lack of tuning opportunities, but if they do it, it has to be solid Stat battery. But I would rather make it a bigger yet nibble awd car then the corolla or yaris, with a 4 cylinder turbo engin.
