Why not.
And make the interior retro too.
This would be great. Start over from the begining.
That's what the Celica needs.

Leave the Scion Tc for the 20 something crowd, and make the new Celica a more mature coupe. The early ones always tried to add a little luxury feel to the sporty look.
This would really be fun. A $20 000 RWD Toyota coupe.

The early RWD Celicas were never offered as a convertible.
This would go nicely against the Mustang and Camaro.

I really wish that would happen...idk about that pic but the idea is great.
looks too much like the new SLOWmaro in the front but i like the vents behind the back window now thats old school.

sorta looks like a photochop of the camaro front, benz cls middle, n infiniti g35 rear with classic rear vents from the 67 shelby mustangs..in the same shelby 'bullitt' green n scion tC lookalike rims.

lol.

im down with the idea of a new celica, just not down with this concept.

Pandelica 2.0 in progress.
the scion tc are basically like the new celica. wait a few more years maybe they might come out with a new celica.
i heard talks that it was gonna happen in japan, but i donno bout usdm status..

tC = toyota Celica smile.gif

Pandelica 2.0 in progress.
tc=Touring Coupe...

I think that if Toyota brought back a RWD Celica, i would soooooo buy one. The convert looks way to much like a stang though. I doubt that toyota will be making this though.
love the concept. but it looks like thier trying to domesticate it with the front looking Camero(ish) and back like a new Mustang..they need to bring back the old lightweight, small body designs smile.gif

id be all over this concept if it actually happened

2015 Subaru WRX. World Rally Blue/Black2001 Honda S2000. Spa Yellow/Black
whatever happened to them bringing back the old hatchy corrolla? i liked that concept way better that this one. i don't like the looks of it.

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
The only reason why everyone says it looks like a camarro is because the hood is overhanging the headlights and the grill.

But look at the 1st gen celica... notice the over hang also?

no its bcuz the 2 round headlights are cut-off by the top of the grill, just like a slowmaro, but i am sure the overhang is part of it.

oooOOOOOoooh.... biggrin.gif I really like that concept of the coupe...

The vert though... eh kindasad.gif looks too much like the mustang.

looks like a mustang,....ewwww 6th gen all the way
Personally, I'd prefer a NEW and Original rwd Celica, possibly inspired by the old 1st gen classic... but NOT a straight retro re-design like the American cars. Just too bulky looking IMO. The Celica was never meant to be a muscle car of any type. The old chassis was basically a longer Corolla chassis, and it was marketed as a sport compact. It'll NEVER be considered Mustang/Camaro competition.

A turbocharged V6 would make more than 250HP





they should shove this bad boy in it, make it RWD and try to keep it close to or under 3000lbs

That's what I'm asking for X-mas
