Or a Toyaru Celiza STi-Four.
I personally think Toyota is just jumping on some kind of band wagon. The general public knows the name STi well and its performance. They also know how poorly the 7gen celica did overall. Stick in the subaru guts with a Toyota badge, and they make money. I don't believe Toyota is doing what we want to see...they haven't in years.
In my opinion, I think this is going to head south, really quick. But Toyota most likely doesn't care about the opinions of an "old school" alltrac owner who doesn't have the money and isn't willing to put down the money for that new car. They care about the opinions of many many more who WILL put down the money for this...well their mommy and daddy anwyay.

Well I just got home from the Motor Trend International Auto show and one of the mission's while I was there was to talk to a Toyota or Subaru representative. I did speak to a Regional Rep for Subaru and all he gave we was in there monthly meetings that talk comes up about a new Toyota/Subaru Venture not known of a name but with a 2 Door Coupe Platform with AWD n Turbo of course. He said it's definately in the works its just a matter of where the car is going to be built since toyota is running out of room. Hence why Subaru Plants builds Camry's.
But thats all I got........

The new celica is starting to sound pretty cool. I don't mind that it's going to be using the STI engine and transmission just as long as toyota put some thought into it that will improve the durability of the new Celica. I just hope they don't use that cheap interior found in the 2000+ celica and revert back to quaility like the 90 to 99 versions. One of the reasons I don't like these new 4-wheel drive Turbo 4 is it being a 4-door, and with the celica we can at least have the 2-door hatch that we all grew up with.

so i guess this is probably gonna happen huh? nothings for sure though. i just wish toyota had the quality and durability it used to. i not sure i like the boxer in the celica eventhough i love boxers and subies. whats up with the electric motors in the wheels? im sure that will be one of the first things to go in the mod list. better start buying as many all-tracs and parts as you can before this thing drops.

The 6-speed STi transmissions are alot stronger then the previous 5-speed. They don't break nearly as easy as the 5-speed.

Yeah, I am anxious to see Toyota back in rallying, if that is where they are aiming. But if everyone else is gonna drop out, and Toyota is going to replace Subaru, then who is going to compete with them in the WRC? :doh:silence":2fge89wa said:
