There is this article below, but many others if you search on Google. It basically says that Subaru and Toyota are partnering to make the next Celica!

Motor Authority » Rumor: Next Celica to be made by Subaru

Both cars will come in coupe and three-door hatch bodystyles and will be sourced from Subaru’s Gunma plant in Japan. No five-door hatch will be offered as Toyota and Subaru don’t want to compete with the current Impreza range.

That right there makes me think

Just don't blow it and make the balance/suspension crap.

wow.. I have no words really for this. I think its stupid in plain english. Celicas are stupid.

lets see what it looks like first, but 300hp awd is 300hp awd any way you look at it

gte123v · 03-31-2008, 10:13 AM

so it's a sti coupe, i wouldn't mind at all.

Heard it, and this belongs in Rumors. Thread moved.

I doubt it will happen but I think its a cool idea. Although some new styling might be in order for the Celica. They used to be cool back in the day and it would be refreshing to see them return to the roots (with a little help from Subaru of course)

amg destroyer · 03-31-2008, 10:24 AM

I would have to see what it looks like first, but it may or may not be a cool idea, depending upon how Subaru goes about this one...

Either way, I'll stick with my '05

300hp boxer engine, awd, 3dr hatch, man. by subaru; this is great if the specs are right. as long as the car looks good. i really hope it doesn't share the same platform as the wrx like the saab 92x did

If it was retro styled like the ae86 I bet the na 2.0 rwd would sell like madd for 20. then all of them would be drifter with a turbo upgrade or STI motor in thm.

I say bring it on! 2dr toyota version of the STI! I hope that its an alternative for those who dont care for the hatch.....After all all the car manufactures have a vested interest in their counterparts and I do believe that Toyota owns a share of Subaru anyhow
