I've been seeing a bunch of the latest model celicas popup recently.
I dunno I have to say I really kinda like it... I mean how can you not... it looks like a transformer..
but girls I've talked to say they hate it for the same reasons... (which is odd, b/c I still see girls driving them... go figure)

anyhow just wondering what you guys think....

 

u mean 7th gen ones?

 

yup 7th gen... wasn't sure which was which at first
took a bit of searching...
yeah basically the one that's on sale... now...

oh yeah been reading the celica histories... never realized that it had such a large female consumer base...

 

pics??

a modded version... but you can see the transformer influence coming in lol:

 

females like it eh? hmm . i like the old ones. like 70's ones and then the alltracs

 

well according to some celica sites... toyota based some of its design decisions in order to keep the female market...

"Amid much speculation and rumor, the next-generation Celica is expected to debut sometime in 1998. Apparently, Toyota had been originally considering changing to a front engine/rear drive format in order to make the car more performance-oriented (as Nissan will do with the next-generation Maxima). These plans were scrapped after research found that the largely female buyers have negative preconceptions of rear-wheel-drive cars as dangerous and evil-handling. "

if the female market influence was heavy enough to affect design decision.. then year the celica had a huge female following at the time.

however the 7th gen is a departure from many of the concepts imposed on previous celica models... soo..

 

well maybe they shoudl bring back the all trac if girls dont like rwd

 

funny thing is alot of girls white ones imparticular love mustangs , and camaro's and those are rwd.... hmmm.. as well as bmw's and mercede's hmmm..........

 

from a girls point of view:
I had 2 celica's the 93, with flip up lights, and I now have a 2000... It took me forever to decide if I wanted the new body style though cause I thought it was hideous... It grows on you I guess...

Anyway, the best body style was the 95-99 .... that's the one I wanted but nobody sells them...

 

ewww. lol the 95-99 is like a fake integra with uglier lights and a larger body. i love the ol 89-93 alltracs.

 

dude ur f*cking stupid. if you dont appreciate japanese engineering designs, then why'd you get a friggin scion? oh you got the box, that explains it i guess.

 

um wow , ok. that was completely outta left field.

 

where's the pic?
