Keep your eyes open for the new celica replacement. I hear it'll be STI powertrain (300hp turbo 4 AWD) on a lightweight coupe.

My girl wants that car Its either that or the new Camry. Right now she drives the corolla S. That car looks okay. with the turbo it should be a little quicker than other corollas.

GHEY!!!

Toyota has a law that makes them incapable of building a decent turbo car since they canned the Supra and the old Celica GT-4 rally car

and I thought the Evo I/C was made by Calsonic?? or is that the radiator?

Nice matrix. The Vibe looks good too. 35mpg = great if you have to commute.

The hp recoprds are own their own displacement category. If you comprae the hp/liter with many other manufacturers like Audi,Porsche,Mitsubishi,BMW and on and on you would realize the records are only set by vry few individuals that poored a lot of money on them.

A Supra could perhaps do 1400-1500hp to the wheels but they are heavily modded and the numbers not that impressive considering a 2.0liter Evo can make nearly 1100whp with 1/3 less of the displacement and to all 4 wheels.

As per the 30k for a used 10 year old Spra, wel, there will be someone stupiod enough to pay that money but it certainly not worth that much. People gave that car the status that doesn't deserve. I take a VR4 of th same year for one third of the price.
