The Celica was generally a sporty car that a person making a modest amount of money could afford.

As a former celica and Supra owner, I would like to see it revived especially the 1985 Celica! Now that was the best--still wish I had one. But not interested in anything electric.

Toyota needs to bring back manufacturing a decent quantity of vehicles.

It don’t matter what they make if dealers mark up the price like crazy

If this Celica is as well built as the 1977 GT model I owned then I'm a customer.

My First Car was a 1985 Toyota Celica GT. When the Celica was a Celica.

Problem is the GR’s have other type drivetrains. Supera has a BMW engine and transmission. The 86 has a Subaru engine and transmission. So the Celica GT can bridge gaps. Have an EV and also either a 1.6t or 2.5 NA Toyota developed four cyl. With a DCT wet clutch 6-7 speed and include a 6spd manual. From experience tho if you want a faster car choose the DCT in whatever speed.

My 1986 celica with a 3sge was the most fun car to drive. They need to being it back.

[jmer]

I miss the Celica. I grew up in the original version

[Jjrmtv]

I had a 75 and 83 and they were the best cars ever

No mention of the 1990 all track turbo ?

If toyota make the celica electric their sport car games is over. They need to line up with gr supra and gr corolla. They need to make it awd turbo similar to the 6th gen that won wrc

[remkye]

Would prefer a new MR2, even if electric, would be cool to see what it does with a mid engine/motor

[BetydeIsMyHandle]
