This is why a Celica must be a 100% Toyota with a Toyota engine.

Do you take issue with the Celica guy posting something about the... Celica?

That facebook interface is being weird to me.

Youtube link for anyone else having the same issue.

That was a 15 minute video about what the Celica was . Any new car name d the Celica doesn’t change that. Besides, all of the good car names have been taken. Let them recycle the old ones.

So, once the Supra is out, Toyota will have exactly 2 interesting cars in their lineup. O ne with a Subaru engine, one with a BMW engine.

Why? Is it b ecause Toyota has lost their way so badly that they’re no longer capable of building a fun, lightweight car? Maybe. Is it because the market for fun cars is now so small that shared development is necessary? Probably. At least they are trying - which they hadn’t done in a long time before the 86 came out.

We live in a strange world now, where Rolls Royces and Bentleys have German engines, you can buy a quasi-Italian Miata, GM got some fun cars from Australia, etcetera.

If I were you, I would be disappointed that the Supra has a BMW engine, but wish them success. Because if this car fails, they sure as hell won’t follow it up with an in-house developed Celica or MR2.

They will just return to their regularly scheduled programming of boring beige crap.

I wish it had a manual, but I’m glad we will at least get this car. And Toyota is insistent that it has a very different character  from the Z4, which is great news ( God knows they can’t say that about the 86).

Don’t forget the punchline - there are still sports cars that use Toyota engines ... with  Lotus badges on them.

“Because if this car fails, they sure as hell won’t follow it up with an in-house developed Celica or MR2.”

There is no chance of this happening, no matter how the Supra’s received.

Toyota doesn't do small market cars internally anymore. That's over.

You’re probably right. But most other manufacturers have at least one, why can’t Toyota?
