Topic #73920 64 posts Started by fenderdave
Been meaning to ask this for a while,
with all the 6th gens getting on a bit now what car would you have next when the sad day comes to replace it?

I looked at 7th gen before getting mine and there just not the same.

Seconded.

Has no more Celicas
WRX's are nice, as are S2000's or 350Z's. Each is affordable as well. Or you can try your luck with an IS300 and see how long it takes you to come crawling back laugh.gif

Right now I am shopping for 2005-2010 4x4 Tacoma
A little later I will be shopping for a 2008-2010 mitsubishi evo x gsr

By that time my celi will probably die so will be putting it to rest or sell it to someone for parts.

Mine just got newer since I overhauled everything that gets worn. So nothing after it. It was my first car, so it has an enormous sentimental value. I was far from it for 4.5 years when I bought it after coming back from Korea when I was in the Army. In those years, I saw it two weeks out of six months and sometimes two weeks out of a whole year. So yeah, this puppy is dying with me. biggrin.gif

99 Honda accord EX V-6. Automatic, coupe, power everything and Leather seats.

Feels great to have something that has more power and actually reliable.
The dream of an AWD GT-4 is just something that can happen in Japan and other countries. Conversions don't cut it. Look at the # of people selling theirs.

If you bought a GT your in good shape, those with ST's just have to spend more money and receive more headaches.

As far as the 7th Gens go, I think they look kinda ugly and the cabin space has become cramped.

I got a Civic Si after selling my Celica, it was an impulse buy when I found out the 63 year old lady wanted to sell it. I want an MR2 someday.

is300's are very nice. If you wanna be a honda/nismo fag then do it elsewhere. laugh.gif Lex is a brand of toyota, and We'll not hear any badmouthing of toyotas here.

Plus they're bagged, it's hella cool to hit Xmph and feel it drop to the ground for aerodynamical fuel economy. tongue.gif

I drive an Evo X on a weekly basis. While they handle awesome and feel very nimble for their weight, I'm just tired of them, lol. The Celica might be an old piece of junk but it just feels special. I love Audis. Such awesome interior, even if they're slow.

I test drove quite a few evo x's and its all about how you use them. They are not meant to be a daily driver and most people I know who own one of them has them as a fun weekend car with family car being a 4 door saloon like a nissan or something. Neither evo nor sti were meant to be driven in traffic.

Like top gear says... sti can get you to the track and evo can get you around it.

As I hope to never get rid of my celi i suppose a decent replacement for it would be a 350Z or maybe a project 240. I would love to find a RHD skyline R34... but I don't see myself having the money to buy one!

I'm on my 4th 6gc, definitely won't get rid of the 99. I've had all kinds of different cars; Prelude, Mustang, WRX, SC300, Miata, and I keep coming back to the Celicas.

My plan is to drive my current car until the engine dies, then make it a project and pick up another DD. Next car will definitely be German, most likely an older BMW 3 series or M3.

Something like this, car in a local car club I'm in:

i have the alltrac, the 6gc which will be 3sgte swapped, and the audi, so i guess next move would be to buy a MKIV supra biggrin.gif

2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 12014 Toyota Rav4 XLE
My cellie is currently my DD, it won't be forever. Nor will I rid of it.

When I have to purchase another DD, it will most likely be some sort of SUV. I enjoy the excuse of having the small cellie so work doesn't make me haul stuff on my dime, but it is a hassle to drive 30 mins to work to simply pick up a Blazer.

Any specific one? Nah, aslong as it drives. My desire to work, or customize cars stops at the Celica, and only the 6th gen.
