Thumbs up What a cracking looking car

And a 5 year Warranty thrown in ..... it does make remarkable sense!

Nope. That last shape was okay but they don't do it for me.

The V6 chucks out cack power yet the car does around 20ish mpg - oh dear...

Don't think it's a GT4. Just a Celica.

Would look good without that silly droopy rear window, which looks like the silly droopy window on the Nissan 370z thing.

Still won't be nice to drive though, as per old Hyundai coupes.

I like it, it would look a lot more bland with the back window smoothed off IMO

Never really liked the drive of the older ones myself

The previous one was a styling rip off of Ferraris. The new one adds a bit of Toyota Celica edge to it. I quite like the look of the thing.

Shame they probably won't have a diesel of Petrol direct injection version of it. Though 2.5 litres with the right supercharger or a couple of tiddly turbos... It could be persuaded to go a bit faster, I'm sure.
