"SLOW DOWN...THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD!" ad always stuck in my head as a kid. Never would have imagined I would own almost the same exact GT-S in red. It's really just the perfect daily car, it STILL looks absolutely modern, and it's a blast to drive and upgrade. Hitting valve lift for the first time (after the massive lift bolt extraction bill lol) was unforgettable and it NEVER gets old. Feels like a rocket.
@@alexvieira7945 thank you and i will! i’ve driven it maybe 25 miles yet and it’s honestly the perfect little car. great on gas, peppy, and handles like a dream.
Made me laff. those old comercials. My GTS is 2001 so just over 20 years. 130k, canada driven. It's still sexy as heck. White, ordered from Japan since they didn't have that colour in north america, took 6 months to get it built and shipped. Interior is still mostly mint. Changed wheels to 17 inch and have the largest rubber that would fit in the well. Super happy. Yes it's fast enuff people.
I am trying to find photos of the GTX Appearance Package that was an option on the 2000-2001 Celica in the states (possibly only Southeast Toyota dealerships). It was a dealer installed option, with checkered flag graphics running along the lower sides of the car and on the hood, special GTX alloy wheels that I've never seen on any other Celica, and some other accessories included with the package (carbon fiber dash). The price of the package was $976. I can't find one anywhere and am starting to think I hallucinated the whole thing.
I think you did hallucinated the whole thing lol.. As far as i know here in the states there was no GTX just GT and GTS, and i have never heard of an appearance package just the 'action package' from 2002-2005, but ill do some research maybe i missed the appearance package you're talking about.
When you come here to see how to properly pronounce this car (I’ve always called it “suhleeka” but lately have heard a lot of people call it “sellicka”)… and here they pronounce it both ways depending on the commercial lol… I’ll stick with “suhleeka” since it seems the Japanese commercial went with that, and also a couple of the English ones (I’m guessing Canadian and Australian). Seems like the American ones call it the “sellicka”.
I've heard that said all the time "it's not a fast car" but holy christ once valve lift kicks in, that all melts away. Still the fastest car I've ever owned, but it certainly makes you work for the power and be engaged rather than just hitting the petal.
I understand where you're coming from. But we're in America and it's pronounced differently. It just is. There are so many differences in our language pernounciations. This is no different. Toe-m-a-toe = toe-mah-toe.
Still looks good to this day.
Absolutely
Yeo big facts
True.
Ages like fine wine 🍷
The looks fast ads were hilarious. Nothing beats 2000s ads 😂

Congrats!! ☺
How ya know is a she?
The Japanese ad was hilarious
Yes😄
Mine has 217k and it runs great. Sweet car
came here to see how Celica was pronounced. I've been wrong my whole life.
The correct pronunciation is almost the same in Japanese as in spanish, the way these ads pronounce the name is so cringy.
That's exactly why I came to watch this video. That's crazy
@@Sedrom are you here cause of that Canadian woman's TikTok too? lol

One is on Facebook marketplace in Memphis TN a 2001 Celica GTS with that black checkered flag graphic.
Well it was on Facebook marketplace it’s gone now but you’re not crazy
@@Lost_9o1 I wish you could've gotten a pic! I'd love to see one again.
The Hurt is true because when I rev the engine up in a sport driving afterwards I realise that my Hurt is beeping 😄
IMO this gen is the best looking cuz it looks like a supercar
It sure does.
Almost 200k on mine still runs like a champ
Gotta love them ☺️
My 192hp celica still rocks
Keep it running 😄
The red celica, so fast. I’m still laughing, I’m in tears, send help.
honda is fast "kappa"
The revving is exactly how mine revs.

Sigh jus came here for memories
@@Dwaynespider yep 😭

Underrated
Like AD said
Looks fast
But not fast
Quick enough ;)
At least they were self aware.

Still the fastest car I've ever owned, but it certainly makes you work for the power and be engaged rather than just hitting the petal.

Man americans need to see this advert to learn how to say celica correctly it is pronounced celeeka
in english its pronounced selika so no.

You say like se lii kaa
I understand where you're coming from. But we're in America and it's pronounced differently. It just is. There are so many differences in our language pernounciations. This is no different.
