Celica Forums General Discussion General The Toyota Celica officially discontinued.

i heard that that new TC scion is supposed to be the celi's replacement. I have the last gen celica and i love it, but my mom just bought a TC yesterday and its actually not too bad. Its not as fast or good handling as the celica but its a real smooth drive and you can still have fun in it. I dont mind the scions, but i would never give up my celi for one.

too bad they stopped the celica

but at least we have one

you're a retard aren't you? thought so

one more thing...does that mean there will be a 2005 celica?
or they are stopping it before the 2005's are relased?

the thing they said was after 2005...??

You know, there's a difference between the super cars that the supra were, and the scaled down 7th gen (compared to the super cars the GT4s were)

=(.. its okay i guess...i wanna trade my 02 celi gt for 04 now gts haha

it means no more celicas for now -- period. no continuation of 7th gens, no making of the 8th gen.

*hugs his '04 Celi*

I still like Toyota vehicles. If I were to be able to buy another car, I want one of the later gen twin Turbo Supras


I'm sure there will be something else by the time I can afford another car (or even the one I have!). Whether it's Toyota or not

I'll keep my 2004 Celica for as long as I can...Love that car!...

Im keeping my till i can get my hands on a lotus elise or something to that effect!

i dunno... im kinda crossed between emotions right now. I dont know if i should be happy or sad.

that's weird since almost all car companies have sports cars, what will toyota have? i think it it's a very bad move for toyota. i mean they don't have the supra anymore, and they're killing both the MR-S and the Celica at the same time. Don't tell me they're gonna make the Camry Solara their sports car.

omfg thats a srew up and the sc arent even her

toyota =

Fuck it

That was me

I know they still offer parts I use too own a set of Supras, a '86.5 and '87 MkIII's ...I meant getting them would be hard (nothing about finding them) because there is this wonderful thing called a BackOrder...and it usually took 3-7 days depending on the part and they were usually a tad bit more expensive. Most of my Supra parts came from the Canadian warehouse, its pretty far from TX

word...both the MRS and Celica are being killed off.

what does Toyota have left to be in their sporty section?
please not the Solara or any of the Scions. Prolly the Elise.

The car being D/C is really having an impact on what I'm looking at right now. In 3-4 weeks I'll be in the car market again, and I just don't know about buying a car no longer in production.

It is indeed a sad day. Toyota has decided to give up rather than bettering it's enthusiast vehicles to compete with Subaru, Mitsubishi, Mazda, and Honda. Lets face it, the MR2 and Celica were no match for the S2000 or STI. Most young people are looking at speed and Performance over styling these days, and Toyota was slipping. They could have stepped it up, but instead they decided to just focus on other markets.

now what after market company is gonna wanna design parts for a low volume disconutinued car

Word up dawg!...Bad news for us celica owners...Toyota is making a bad move on this issue, big time!... They must be tripping dude!...

toyota = ghey!!!

i prob was gonna go for something higher than a celi for my next car, but still! can't believe they'd keep the tc and xrs over the celi

It's rather amusing the anger and disappointed directed towards Toyota.. they obviously know what they are doing, there is no doubt a method behind their madness. I had read a year or so ago that the sales for the Celica have been dropping and they were going to discontinue the car, people are lucky that the Celica was even produced for '05 models.. it was going to be a '04 and quits.

This doesn't bother me in the slightest, I've actually been hoping for this, mostly because I want to say my car is still new for what it is and now I can still say that. And hopefully the resale value will go up for some reason, despite our cars being underpowered.. they have their advantage points.

Besides.. this doesn't mean they will never produce the MR2 or Celica again ever, they stopped making the MR2 for about five years or so, and there may be hope for new better Celica's, MR2's and even Supra's.

It's not that toyota doesn't know what they are doing, it's that they're taking the entire company's focus away from where we want it to be focused.. thats smart business, but it saddens us

will then that kindda makes me feel happy, now every time i buy something new for it i will not be thinking "shit, in two or so years there will be a better celica out there, & i don't want to trade mine in" [/color]

and ohh ya... fuck off toyota for digging your own grave and not keeping up with the comp. by not building a better engine to keep up with the EVO, WRX, S2000, and 350Z, it's your own damn fault so stop your crying you little bitches and go have fun with the old timers cars!!!

aww man no more celicas!!!

WRX here i come.

BYE-BYE Celica! I'm very curious now on what will replace the Celica and MR-2. Let's hope its a NEW Supra! hahahaha

for all WRX fans

ok anway, a lot of you guys gotta set some shit straight

the Scions are NOT replacing the celica or mr2..
"tC" does not stand for "Toyota Celica"

the last production of the celica will be
May 2005
so, there is a little less than a year left before they stop it all together, as well as the mr2.
they aren't being imported here as much though till that time comes and then it stops...

plus, yes they could both come back later on, but Toyota will have "exciting new vehicles" to be introduced to take the spots those two cars once had. Most likely better.

^^^^tell em billy...If you don't know what's straight then I don't know who to trust...your pops owns a friggin toyota dealer for goodness sake

hey, this is probaly a sign of things to come within the auto industry. the inevitable drying up of oil supplies and the transition to hybrid cars.

we are probably the last generation to enjoy the "sport" car saga. look at how we've changed from muscle cars that have just huge brute engines to smaller smarter sport compacts that are faster and more efficient.

the next generation will probably have stuff like prius and maybe other fuel sourced vehicles.

finally the end of SUVs will occur...

e

I thought you were getting a Celica??? Do you have one now?

mmhmmmmm and just when i posted it, that morning i read the document sent to my dad regarding it which said the dicontinuation of each and the last production of them...but nothing about new stuff yet, only that the current stuff is there to have (Corolla XRS, Scions, X-Runner) for now.

Toyota is going to turn into a weird, kooky, environmentally friendly eco-car company.

Time to buy a real sports car

And the Avalon. Betting my buddy (works for Toyota) that the smart money is on sport compacts. Something along the lines of the Mazda3 Hatchback as being one of the two designs they may try. Makes sense, hope they get it right.
Would people seriously be pissed if someone re-badged a Scion TC as a Celica? Not that it applies to me, we don't get Scion here. Dammit.

rebadging a scion tc as a celica makes no sense, whoever does that is one dumb person.
and the new avalon is for old people lol.

Yea, I agree with you in a way

I knew this was going to happen. The lack of advertising and development for the last 4 years did not help things. For a company that makes such good cars, this is a step back. Hopefully Toyota will lear the error of its ways.

As I haven't seen a TV commercial for either the Celica or the MR. 2 in years this is not a surprise. No support or development equals no sales. All Toyota had to do was drop a 240 HP engine into the Celica to keep up with the stock Rex, The Celica owns the Rex when it comes to handling. Toyota has its own vision of the future, and it does not include Celica or Mr. 2 In five or ten years they will realise the error of their ways,

there's a reason behind no advertising and lack of it, you need to learn what else is going on and what they spend their money on

i sold my celica about a month ago.. .., i dun really care..it was an auto.., i knew they would stop makin' it.., i dun really regret sellin it.., but i really do luv me new 287hp rwd "real sports car"... z

I like how toyota says that the lack of sales for celica/mr-2 drove them to discontinue it, when they never fucking advertised the car. Oh well.

toyota is somewhat smart in discontinuing the celica. With all these fast cars coming up, the celi wont stand a chance. It's just going to hurt sales. I'm glad that its offical that the 8th generation celi is dead so our value will stay a bit higher.

having less celicas on the road makes owning a celica more exciting. I mean it wouldn't be any fun if everyone you knew drove a celica, and if at every stoplight you saw someone with your car. Its fun knowing your car is kinda rare, not like a civic, or camero, or mustang. Toyota is changing to "family car" and unless they bring the supra back i don't plan on buying a toyota for my next car.

having the last of the celi's sounds coo. There is a lot of scion hating over here and yeah id have to agree they are ugly. My dad has an XB or "the Box" as me and my sisters call it. we always make fun of it.

i saw a tc at the dealership today and wasnt impressed at all. even with the factory blower , i wouldnt have one over a celica.

I'm thinking that Toyota probably did advertise the Celica and MR-2 (in the early years), but sales were still slumping. So, why should Toyota waste more money on advertising these two cars when they could focus on other cars? Toyota would not simply discontinue the Celica after 30-plus for no apparent reason.

I hate toyota. They are idiots lately. What happened to the people who gave us the Supra or the Alltrac or even this new Celica. And whats with this Matrix and corolla shit, not to mention scion line.Sorry toyota, but I'm gonna have to give you a big

Hey, at least i have an excuse to keep my celi around for a long time...the wife will have a harder time convincing me to get a bigger car
