I had a 2001 Celica, the last generation, and loved that car. Just got rid of it a few years ago. Was still running well.

Can't say I am disappointed in the power my Mustang GT generates compared to it.

Still was a great car and fun to drive handling wise on two lane roads.

I drive a 95 Celica hatchback, 5 spd manual. It looks rough, but drives like a dream. I love it.

I'm interested in the new Supra, too!

Lest we forget, the original Celica was RWD, throughout the 70s and early 80s. It was the reliable, economical alternative to the post-oil-crisis descendents of American muscle cars. Like so many cars, it unfortunately fell victim to the FWD "revolution". By my reckoning, the real Celica was discontinued after 1985.

They should have made a Celica AWD version, or further developed the Corolla 4WD for use in other vehicles in future generations after the 1980s. AWD is preferable to RWD or FWD in my estimation.

Preferences of course vary. I prefer RWD, for personal reasons, that admittedly I'd struggle to defend. Sadly, RWD is almost extinct, except for trucks, luxury-cars and a tiny smattering of remaining sports cars. But market-reality is what it is. The same reality killed the Celica, RWD or FWD. Rest in peace.

Well it looks like the Supra is going to be revived. As a low production model, it's going to be at a pretty high price point than what the Celica traditionally was placed...

Well, it sure didn't seem to last too long, and I never saw many on the road. Instead, Toyota went all in with the Supra and prices went through the roof by the time the car seized production. They should have developed a mid-priced Celica with a moderate to higher option levels during that time, yet retain a few of the Supra features. They missed the boat.

Pretty sure they've been talking about a new Supra since 2005.
