Kind of seems like the author is dissapointed with the Celica. He likes comparing the 6th gen to the 5th gen alltracks. Oh well, it was an interesting read.

well to be honest aren't you kinda dissappointed with the lack of power in your car? why couldn't they have atleast sent the GT with the 3sge? (non Beams)
everywhere else got them. why not the USDM?

good article altogether though. did anyone else notice that our car (according to the article) was directed at the female population mad.gif
i don't consider it a chick car. maybe that's just me being in denial. laugh.gif

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)

Yes, to an extent. I mean I wish it was a little more powerfull, but since it's a daily and not a track car, I'm pretty content with it. Gets me from point A to B in style wink.gif. For being FWD cars, our Celi's also handle pretty damn well.
