In this day and age to see an auto maker like Toyota developing a new ice engine is refreshing indeed!
Theyre one of the few auto makers still making sedans. The big 3 in US killed all their small car sedans
@@anekinoo7 They killed sedans cause Toyota wouldn't stop making them.
i love ICE!
Scotty Kilmer will go wild 😅
Lmao immediately what I thought
REVVVV UP YOUR ENGINES!!!
Sounds exciting that the Celica is coming back. I’m also excited for the next generation sports cars from Lexus hopefully retaining that super gorgeous sounding 5L V8.
@@Marks.Reviews Lol bro they’re getting rid of v6s I don’t think they’ll have v8s again unless they’re a hydrogen car 😭
but he won't like the turbo.
1986 celica gts was my very first car in 1997 out of high school, and I loved it ( thanks mom ❤).
I saw a Scotty-Gen white Celica in an accident today. High school girl even had a heart-shaped exhaust on it 😢
That's a tragedy that won't make mainstream news.
Kirk, What about that fabulous Starlet? Toyota needs to get back in the affordable hatchback game ASAP. 😉
Poor girl I bet she was traumatized she probably loves her Celica hope she’s OK
Hey Kirk, I enjoyed your version about the Celica! Great to talk to you yesterday! Time for a collab when I'm back from Japan...
@AutomotivePress The Man From Japn
Bring it Back in a Manual Transmission PLEASE!?!💯
Why? So the 2 people that buy it get to go back and forth in 1st and 2nd? Or cruise on highways in 4th or 5th? Or to have something to do with their hands while driving?
6-spd with proper "Stiff" coilovers with manual adjustment, no electronic dampers. Proper bolstered seats and 8k max rpm.❤
Oh I agree .
They don’t sell!!
Best theft prevention
Mr2 , Celica, Prelude….and more 😇 Gotta be saving until these come out and hopefully pick one up 😍 feel like the early 2000 again
The Japanese makes are restoring the feeling, the American automakers have lost their way
@@LoneWolfSparty Vtec just kicked in yos, Joke aside, I’m feeling like it’s their strategy to leave us craving and wanting something so bad then finally giving us what we missing 😬
Life is wonderful indeed !!! 👍👍👍
The 5th gen Celica (especially the turbo AWD version) was one of my all time favorite cars, both in terms of looks and performance/ability, and this new version seems to inspired by that golden oldie. Looking forward to seeing how close to this rendering it will look like in real life.
Toyota is on 🔥!!
lol.
Well of course since the Prelude is coming back this makes sense. Im very interested!
So freaking excited. I still love my S185 all tracs, 2004 GtS and GR Supra but been waiting for a new Celica for almost 20 years. Can’t wait :)
Yesssss!!! AWESOME News!!!! I still remember the 1st generation od the Celicas…… late 80’s and early 90’s which was the one that I like the most…
You are awesome sir!!! Thank you for your hard work always sharing the best information since you are japanese and speak the language! That’s a huge blessing! I wish I could speak it too! And Thank you for your hard work and sacrifice traveling to Japan to take the factory tours and collecting the information DIRECTLY from the sources, like Toyota, Lexus and others….
I can’t wait to see and hear what you are going to share with us regarding to your next visit to the Tahara Plant, at Aichi, Japan for the Lexus IS500 (that I bought it), and other models like the 4Runner, Lexus GX550, etc…
God Bless You!!!
If the Celica (especially if it's in GT4 trim), MR2, S-FR. and Land Cruiser come to fruition, Toyota is going to be taking big shots across the bow of other manufacturers.
The American makes have lost their way with regards to affordable sports cars and quality compact cars/sedans that are at a good price point.
David, While I welcome the return of the Celica and MR2, I am particularly intrigued by the Starlet. According to the extensive research I have conducted, the Starlet was last sold on this continent 40 years ago. This means it is really overdue for a comeback. With its winning combination of 67 hp engine, 52 mpg Highway rating and rear wheel drive layout, the Starlet must have been the inspiration for the famous Corolla GT-S/AE-86 which followed a few years later. Finally, let's not forget about the 'Miata-fighting' S-FR, Toyota has been promising that for nearly a decade.🤩
This is great news. I bought an FRS years ago because I always wanted a Celica as a kid and as an adult I could not find one in good condition.
Always liked the iconic Celica
I'm waiting for a new MR2, midengined, open roof... plse...
So, it’s celica all trac?
The Starlet was sold in Australia, before discontinuing its sale and then replacing it with the Echo now Yaris.
I had an 80 Celica. Would buy this new one ❤
Me too. It was a great car!!
Me three!
This makes me very happy as my first car was a 1984 Supra, which as any JDM-head knows, was based on the Celica at that time. When Acura brought back the Integra I was happy and considered it, but the limitation to a 4-door (and its rather unattractive rear proportions) had me pass on it. A Celica coupe that is a real 2+2 and with a manual transmission option would get my money.
Celiac looks simple like the 90s, I love it.
And Look at that MR2! 😳
New BMyota Supra looks so beautiful , especially in that grey
👍 would be a beautiful dream to see the return of the toyota celica on the road again so many people been waiting for this day, the return of a beautiful car is just the dream we all want.
Some many good memories with Celica going all the way back when my parents bought their 1st Toyota 1978 Celica hatchback. Hot car into the 80's. Excited!
I wish the new engine was a 2.2-2.4 L engine, rather than 2.0 L since there are/ have been so, so many 2.0 L 4 cylinder engines over the years. Let's say a 2.4 L, 4 cylinder engine not only would allow for more HP and torque; but it would remind us of the engine that used to power the old Honda Prelude back in the 1990s. Can u imagine the power and torque that the GR engineering crew could squeeze out of 2.4 L with all the newest tech?!
100% Toyota developed + 100% ICE = 100% excellent. Also excited for the MR2.
I had 2002 Toyota Celica and absolutely loved it! Bravo to Toyota for keeping cars and niche ones at that!
Thank you, Toyota for not giving up on the ice. This is exciting.
A Celica model from the late 80s or early 90s offered AWD as I recall. I hope it has a manual transmission.
Hopefully they aren't too conservative with the styling, the Celica has always had a pretty unique visual language for its segment, so I'd like to see that carry through to this new version.
Something that’s not boring? FINALLY!
Had a Gen 5 with popup lights in my early 20s. Beautiful car and wonderful memories. But times have changed, this is just old tech, high powered sports EVs are the way of the future.
Its surprising that they are not putting a hybrid in it.. But that is exciting- also with that new 2 liter Turbo it makes me wonder if they are looking at deploying that across the range as an option for people who are not fully on board even with Hybrid? I could see that being deployed in the Camry and the Rav 4- as I am sure that it will have enough power for both of those vehicles... To be honest I have often wondered if at some point they would offer the 2.4T in the Camry as a TRD model?
I think they will need to keep the Camry 100% Hybrid to keep CAFE space for all those gas guzzling 4X4s they just introduced.
Cannot wait for the new Celica had mine for 25 years and can’t part with it. Will buy the new one at the drop of a hat. counting down the seconds.
I truly love this all out offensive from Toyota !!! It’s truly a blessing to all Toyota fans !!! Just don’t make us waiting for long !!! 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
It is so cool what Toyota is doing. I can't wait for this car, I hope it releases with a manual transmission.
I own 2 Celicas and I absolutely love them. This makes me soooo happy.
That's great news, and the rendering looks nice. Also the other vehicles. I really like the new Camry SE.
If Toyota makes a simple, reliable, analog car, i vieve it will sell well. Cars have become too expensive and less reliable.
Think the 2.0L turbo will pair nicely with the hybrid drive train for the NEW RAV4????
I had a celica supra... loved that car.
Don’t know what’s going on up in Canada - but in the U.S. we always pronounced it sell-i-ka with emphasis on first syllable.
My good friend in college had the All_trac turbo. I couldn’t afford it then, but I’ll get one now.
Celica, my first car in America. It had a manual shifter. Can’t wait for the new one tocome.
If it comes back I hope it does look like the rendering here with cleaner look than the new Supra.
With Toyota's trend these days, what you're telling me is I should get myself all hyped for an $43K plus $5K dealership mark up for a 1.3L turbo vehicle?
I had a 78 coupe celica and a 83 lift back loved both great cars.
Bring back the liftback Celica!!! My 95 has been awesome over almost 30 years!
Icons don't die. They live on. The Celica is an example.
I hope it will be more reliable than my 23 4runner. just at 14k and rolling off the lot it had a bad headlight, front differential and now has some sort of metal to metal suspension squeak. Back in 2014 my toyotas had ZERO issues. Please toyota get the quality back to where it was and make it have an AWD option.
Yes Thank You Toyota❤❤ My first car was a 7th gen gt Celica in Red
I still love my 7th Gen GT. But I'm in my mid 30's and just sad this didn't happen 10 years ago.
my relationship with the 7th gen is complicated. it's so unbelievably slow, but it handles so well in the mountains that evry time I drive it I love it all over again. I've been trying to get myself to part with it for years now, but I just can't.
its frustrating really.
I can't wait to see the new celica. I love the superas too .
Big fan of the original Toyota celica. 72 73. Although it was based on the Toyota Corona it was special
Is it rear wheel drive? From the looks of the engine it looks like it might be. My questions is why don’t they put this engine into the mr2?
Mr2 would likely have a powerplant it can share with lotus
Well I hope it's Lean, Clean and a little bit Mean. 😃
Toyota make me happy ❤
I love my celica!! - been driving them for the last 23years!
(On my second one 😂)
Coming back in 2 to 3 teats? Hopefully it has a gas engine, manual, non turbocharged option, and looks as good as the pics.
Nice looking Prius coupe.
Fantastic car .
The sales of japanese sporty coupes always puzzles me. After two years, sales always "nose dive", despite a major freshening. And sales never recover. Toyota needs to keep the production line running. Be it the BRZ or Supra.. Both their sales are now in a downward pitch. I think they only sold 500 Supras last year. Toyota is smart not jumping in on the EV bandwagon like FOMOCO. But Toyota is in the business of manufacturing and making money on selling cars, not putting incentives (discounting) on car sales. But they tend to just throw money at cars when sales are soft.
I can only imagine how much would be the dealership mark up for this car.
David, your videos are amazing. i would love to discuss car details with you. i currently have a GR Yaris and a 1998 ep91 Starlet GlanzaV so the starlet excites me. thank you for all the great info, i might make my way to tokyo auto salon next year. i have not been since 2020.
My first car was a hand-me-down 1977 Celica GT from my parents. It was called the same in the US as Japan "Sell-eh-Ca" not "Sell-EE-ca"
As a former owner of an 82, 86, and 2000 Celica GT-S, third is great news. If they only make a convertible! I just hope they don't take the same route as the 2000 where the interior was a sea of hard plastic. Even the sunroof was a plastic material. Im betting it will be in the 40-60K range.
I see lots of Camry in the front end, so if there is a maybe 4 door version the revival of Camry Celica?
Small car with LARGE Displacement is an ideal Celica. 2.5L in a lightweight car is perfect for a Fuel MPG Sports car. (Toyota Crown Engine)
My personal favourite was the 4th Gen hatchback.
the "Supra" started off as a Celica
Good point!
Without a M/T there is no point to a new Celica as far as I am concerned
The rendering looks kinda like a Camry coupe to me.
It’s all just renderings they haven’t even released anything on this
Same… god help us if Toyota puts a CVT in it 😢
@@Fabulousprofound168I wish we could van automatics/CVTs
Thank you for your info.
Toyota's motion ❤
I hope it’s not just offered in a hybrid like The Crown.
So it will be replacing the GR86 I assume since it will so similar in size?
Can’t wait, although I’m not a huge fan of that render design
Looks like a mustang from the rear quarter panel. But nice it has dna of Lexus in the front too with a hint of Prius 👍
2.0L Turbo4? ( like is200t, nx200t?)
I hope it won't be another BMW rebranded as a Toyota!
Did you hear the part where he talk about the new engine???
Speaking of sports GTs can we please get a side by side comparison of your new LC 500 and SC 430?
Awesome
If they make it available with retractable top? I’m in!
Wonder if the engine is going to better then the gt16
Toyota seems to be bringing back the old-school cars before the electrification age kicks in. Is this a good news or better to wait for Toyota’s solid-state batteries?
If the FJ mini Hooper, Celiac and MR 2 arrive in the USA, Ford, Buick, Jeep, and Chevrolet will have to cancel their car vehicles. Jeep already cancelled their Renegade upon seeing the FJ cruiser mini Hooper out of FEAR:)
The Celica was “alright” at best as a sports car. I can’t anything Toyota could make that would be a better overall value than the GR86, best car for the price.
Doesn’t the new Prius have a 2.0 4 cylinder
Best Web magazine indulges wild rumours.
I don’t understand why Toyota did not just put the Celica name on the GT86.
I have 5th gen, and it's the best
Looks great hope it comes back to the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and in manual as well
Unless Toyota wants to squander on carbon credit purchases they’re going to have to at least have a mild performance hybrid to erase the turbo lag and increase city MPG. A six speed manual will help the highway speed MPG too end. 🤔
I need that car!
This could be my next car.
My next car could be a 1965 Plymouth valiant slant 6 found in a barn
I would be interested in one for the US if not ev . V6 but probably tubro though . 2026?😊
That engine would be perfect for the gt86
This sounds like a bummer... Toyota should put the Yaris/Corolla GR-Four's entire engine and drivetrain into the Celica as a true successor to the ST205 GT-Four.
It should come in hard top convertible.
I wish the Starlet was coming to North America. We need more hatchbacks dammit!
I wish the Starlet was coming BACK to North America. We had it for a few years 40 years ago.
I wonder if Honda bringing back the Prelude prompted Toyota to bring back the Celica.
I ll believe it when we see it.
