replacement for the celica...

**1stcelica** · 08-13-2005, 06:32 PM

TOKYO — The grapevine in Japan is whispering about a hot, new 250-horsepower pure sport coupe from Toyota, coming next year, which would also double as a new Celica in Japan.

Japan's moles say they've uncovered secret plans for a new pure sport coupe from Toyota, apparently based around the Scion tC. The unnamed model, due in 2006, has 2.4-liter power, like the tC, yet is good for a reputed 250 horsepower.

Toyota is aiming at Honda's stellar Integra Type R (the more exotic, faster version of America's Acura RSX). And the idea would also be to inject some extra speed and enthusiast muscle into the tC.

America will soon bid farewell to the Celica, so this new 250-hp sport coupe would be a welcome replacement. Across in Japan, the talk is Toyota would rebadge it as the eighth-generation Celica.

While the Celica as we know it is 1.8-liter, the story goes that this new model would jump up to a special high-performance 2.0-liter motor, which may be called 2AZ-GE.

What this means to you: Biggest problem with Scion? No power. Thus, this super tC sounds super-cool; let's hope it makes it into the showrooms here.

I will say that this is 99.9% untrue. Call me an idiot if it comes out. I see all Toyota's plans for upcoming vehicles 2 years in advance...there is nothing on the horizon.

**1stcelica** · 08-13-2005, 09:51 PM

how do you see the plans?

**Burrcold** · 08-13-2005, 09:55 PM

I work for the biggest supplier of parts to Toyota...we would have to be planning all our engineering, tooling, contracts, etc. at this point if there was a vehicle on the table. I have to do sales planning twice a year so I see all of the vehicles planned (or the vehicle codes anyways)

Tis how I know

**1stcelica** · 08-14-2005, 01:09 AM

thats cool. it would still be neat if they came out with a 250 hp tc, but ill take your word for it.

**Arabian_Knight** · 08-14-2005, 02:09 PM

fuck i would buy it right away

**sublimen40o** · 08-24-2005, 09:53 PM

**MM2000GTS** · 08-25-2005, 09:28 AM

**Fast Celica Girl** · 08-25-2005, 11:59 AM

**Burrcold** · 08-25-2005, 12:01 PM

well that's what it is...it's been out since 03. It's called the Corolla XRS and has a de-tuned version of the GT-S 2ZZ engine

**Fast Celica Girl** · 08-25-2005, 12:02 PM

trust me it's not!! our company makes all the components that support this engine and both these vehicles. I manage this account. There is no plans. Your information is wrong.

**Fast Celica Girl** · 08-25-2005, 12:10 PM

than i guess I have to tell the boys at the dealership to stop making crap up.

**Burrcold** · 08-25-2005, 12:11 PM

lol yes you should. It is well known that dealerships know dick all about what actually is coming. Ask any of them and they will tell you a 600hp Supra will be here in the fall and that you should put a deposit down now. They are morons that don't do any research.
