2009 celica to get STi motor? WTF? - Page 2

AWDfreak · 03-31-2008, 04:55 PM

If Toyota wants another Celica, at least have some of the previous one's rally-car roots (3S-GTE ftw!)

But I'm VERY HAPPY that Toyota is reviving the Celica GT-FOUR.....

I think the idea is pretty cool celica w/ the boxer engine b differnt ill b lookin forward to more info

The more I read about the gtr the more I want one. It might be a used one, but I know I will own one down the road. Then again if they make it uglier.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Toyota has unfortunately retired the legendary motor... (last seen in the 07 Caldina GT-Four)

Emissions could be a major culprit...

Anyway, bring on the Celi GT-Four! America needs more AWD Turbo monsters here!

Right on! I came from owning a celica and researched turbo kits for 3 years. Decided i'd go with the STi. All the while though folks used to talk about the GT-four. Turbo charged awd celica FTW! Shoot i may go back to toyota if they make on of those.

I don't really have a problem with it, but I do wish that they would name it something else. It sounded pretty cool when they were considering calling it ae86. Celicas (especially the later models) don't really get the same reaction compared to when you say WRX or STi.

But I do hope it comes out and does well. We'll finally get a 2 door STi. And on top of that, with a little luck and good sales, we can get a Supra STi type car down the road. Subaru AWD with a 2Jz. Maybe a Toyota version and a Subaru version with B11s design cues. A GT-R fighter.

I can't entirely agree with this generalization...the GT-FOUR was pretty bad ass. Toyota Celica GT-Four | Sports Cars ...jeez don't you watch initial D?

i'm all for it, hehe that's only because i used to drive one before. from 2000 to 2005 was crap celicas. and that's the truth.

jungo75 · 04-02-2008, 03:16 AM

I need to see to believe.

squabbin · 04-06-2008, 06:25 PM

Bring it on, i dont understand all the hate. It just opens up another avenue for those of use whom would prefer a coupe or a different look to the current 08' Sti's.

***///M Power*** · 04-08-2008, 04:57 PM

^^ I agree

sneekyseven · 04-08-2008, 05:01 PM

Dont let Subarus marketing team touch it. It needs to be in the $20,000 range

mofoSTI · 04-09-2008, 04:44 PM

The next retro classic that comes out should be the datsun 510 from nissan. I would buy one in a hartbeat
