i like...HP sounds good...but not a huge fan of the front

i dunno if i like the concept...but definitely like more power under the hood.

Looks like a 350z with a toyota emblem slapped on the front, CHANGE THE DESIGN!!!!

not feeling the body...but if they come out with a body kit for that specific body then i would just get a kit...but i'm loving the massive HP..and how we will be consider to be put up against the Type R family

The design is nice, but they have got to do something about that front fender. That front fender takes all the aggresseveness out of the car. I have a feeling that it will change, though. Keep in mind that its just a concept design. Anytime I see a realistic concept design, the body usually stays the same and the fenders are changed.

I guess I'm the only one who isn't happy about the bigger engine. More HP = more $$$. One of the main reasons I love the celica is that it is very affordable. I was planning to buy a 2005 celica, but not if the price jumps from $17K to $20K. I'll buy a Mustang and save a few thousand.

I kinda like that funky-ass new mitsubishi, though it has a curb weight of FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS! That new celi looks kinda like a fcuked up 350. Like the HP though.

i think the design has some potential... it's gonna need some work though before it can match the good looks of the 7th gen though. Let me tell ya though, if htat thing comes out with 247 stock HP, and they manage to make it look anywhere near as good as the 7th gen... i will likely trade my car on the spot

nasty looking car, but good HP

I hope it real.
I hope it rwd
I hope I can afford one.

hope it's available in the states

Nice power figures, ugly ass design.

However, remember who gay the XY concept looked?

It became the sweet 7th gen. I love the 247 HP figure, now just make that swappable into the 7th gen...yeah right

Not bad...Although nothing's guaranteed

Something's wrong with the front.
It doesn't flow with the car

looks way too much like the 350z

it's a chop between a Z and the new honda accord...hopefully there is an 8th gen but this 8th gen version has just about as much chance of comming out to production as the "new" supra...lol

eck i dont like that design very much, looks too much like a 350z. be more origional, toyota!!!

What an UGLY car! No offense, that car is too ugly for me...if that engine comes out though I hope I can swap it with the 7th generations...that's mean power!

I think that most of you consider it ugly becasue you're looking too much at the color scheme. That orange makes an okay looking car UGLY.

I actually like it. It's like a G35c, which I love. I'm sure they'll smooth out the styling a little bit before production though... just like they do in every concept car. Main thing I'm looking at: 247hp!!! We're already looking at Evo-killer territory (weight dependant). Imagine if that makes it to production and spawns an aftermarket. 247hp, slap on a turbo = mad good

If that sucker is for real, I'm going down to Toyota to be first on the waiting list. Screw the S2k I was saving for.

the front end is ugly! Nice hp though.

front looks like an aston martin

sides look like the previous hyundai tiburon

back taillights looks like acrua integra



BUT, the power is decent (imo, a practical sportscar should definately have at least 200 horses)

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont like it...WHY????

that shit looks weird...but i guess...

Right on.

I think it looks like the 7th gen with some alterations

if you just look at the windows and the door, the looks are very similar

now that Supra pic up there looks really sweet

i would take a 7th gen over that ugly ass turd on wheels any day of the week more horsepower or not...

Wow this is a surprise with everybody saying it looks like the Z, I don't remember any of you saying how the Z looked a lot like the Celica when it came out...oh well.

hp sounds good...2.4, exactly what they said a while ago...

but i gaurantee, it won't look like that...concept right now??? if it's an 8th gen, i think they know what it looks like.

Yea, looks like my next car won't be an 8th gen

its definitly not as sexy as the 7th gen. celica but it does have some potential. Besides for that kinda base line power I will definitly trade in my 7th gen, if I have the means, when it is released. Hopefully this means that Toyota is finally trying to get back into the hp competition with Honda and Nissan, cause the 7th gen and MR2's are kinda lacking in that department. Anybody got any ideas on curb weight for this thing?

It looks pretty nice...but no back seats!?

somehow i doubt that this car will be the new celica

I like the powertrain and rear, but the front is a .

i dont like it all that much too be honest...the front is just too retarded for a car of that capacity...like the engine but from the front windsheild and toward the front kills the car and its engine in my opinion

I think I'll keep mine...

Although I would like that engine

the HP sounds believable to me. i mean the scion tc is coming with 200hp with supercharger so celica has to do better. but the look is a little weird, something that toyota doesnt usually do. i mean in a way it looks like a scion car. the front is a little weird. but if you really look at it, the concept doesnt look too bad. i mean the car might be looking ugly from the angle the picture is shot at. but imagine if it had more curbs onto the body. it would look alittle nicer. BUT this changes the celica look from complete aggressive sporty to a little more luxury sporty. i think the 7th gen is more aggressive and i think celica should stick with the more aggressive look. but the engine sounds nice, hopefully it has good torque, a little low compression, and not exceed 2500lbs!!
a turbo will do good on these cars, and yea nice body kit.

well its not that bad looking i guess...maybe an aftermarket front bumper would help out with the weird looking front...love the power the motor is gonna be putting out

i like it a lot. but not the front bumper and it look like its high between the floor and the roof
More HP is good but in my country is taxes on HP like hell so it will probobly not be taken in stock or it will cost my ass of
Any one knows estimated price?
hope it will not be to exspensive!
any one know if it will be hibryd then the price will be way lower since my country dont tax the effekt of the elektrik engien

yes in deed

me four

I was thinking the same thing it looks like a total copy of the Z's body style.
I dont like the way this car looks

in simple terms..the cars ugly as f*ck

but damn would i love that much power stock...mmm imagne that with a 10-12 psi turbo...

you read my mind i would put that engine in my 2000 celica gts if it was possible and it will still look hot and have a hell of a lot of HP

looks like a 350z with accord front...

thats a god dam Z. Very creative, toyota. I do however like the idea of that 247 hp NA with lift.

Same here...247+ lift =

That's ugly as hell...

They need to stop going for the "futuristic" look.

I think that we just were all spoiled with the 7th gen.

Try to think of another car with as many sharp lines as the 7th gen. There just aren't many out there. Only things that come to mind off hand are the Vette and the 05 Mustang, the latter of which is "retro". The trend for years has been rounder, smoother, "bubble-like".

I like the concept picture, but I would agree with most of you that the 8th gen motor should just come in the 7th gen body
