Crazy that this commercial first aired over 15 years ago. Celica Action Package.

Real shame about that car. It has a very good chassis and a great engine that works well with a good driver but they were literally riced from the factory for the F&F crowd.

Indeed. Really should have at least been awd imo as well. It did have a polarizing look to it though.

Ya know, I do have to admit that as big of a Toyota fan as you seem to be, I find it surprising you have a Vibe and not a Matrix.

They’re light enough that FWD isn’t too much of a killer and you can get lovely lift off oversteer with ease. I came very close to buying a GT-S on more than one occasion before I bought my Cooper S.

The Vibe costs 75% as much as a Matrix, looks better, and has GM air conditioning, which is pretty good.

I remember that commercial. I think it was used in the Super Bowl.

Fair enough on that one.

I was in high school when that body style came out. I remember wanting one so bad back then because of the aggressive looks. I can’t tell you the last time I actually saw one on the road.

Friend had one in high school. It did look fast. Ah the F&F days.
