Toyota's FT-86 Concept May Be The Next Celica

Well...

That's certainly a name that makes sense to me.

No scratch this idea. Us car fans want to see a new Supra not another Celica!. I don't care what you think about the AE86. The new Supra will sell!

I saw that coming Space!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still waiting for the Celica's price

Don't think that they are gonna call it the celica. Because they keep dropping hits thats it a new AE86.

And the AE86 has a much bigger folowing than the celica.

What is it with Japanese cars and ugly front end design?

@kuvakas1

You will have to do beter than that, because this car is far from ugly!

what is it about Euro cars (other than Italian) and BORING designs?

even (some) american designs, to say nothing of japanese, are FAR more innovative and advanced.

No matter what they call it....it will be the best RWD 4 cylinder car produce in a while. Maybe they can also bring back the Nissan Silvia to compete...who knows

What are the other rwd 4 cylinder cars that are currently on the market? Hmm.... ariel atom, caterham super seven, lotus elise, Honda S2000? Is it truly the best? Hmmm... maybe the best in its price range :P

Joe it isn't even best in its expected price range. The Saturn Sky Redline and Pontiac Solstice GXP were two HOT cars. Other notables would include the WRX (I know AWD not RWD but it is performance oriented and offers great handling).

Also remember just because it is RWD doesn't mean it will have the best performance in its segment. This thing will be going up against the Mazdaspeed3, Cruze SS, and likely a Focus RS. That will be a tough group to battle with.

I think it's great looking...and I'm surprised by that.
Not sure how big this market really is anymore - it died years ago - but it could sell if priced right. Definitely needed in the lineup.

First time Toyota made a car that excited me in a long time. Turbo 6 cyl could make it a Supra but then that'll be dreaming.

I don't see a problem with Celica if they keep it under $25k. It appeals to a younger generation that might not remember the chickmobile the old celica was lol.

With the right price point I see a hit.

If they call this car a Celica, then they should make an Turbo All Trac version also

Stunning...I hope Toyota re-creates the Supra. Taht would be killer.

They are going to finally produce what the Celica SHOULD have been from the start. Now only if they could bring back the Supra with a Turbo 6...THAT would be a sight to see...

the original Celica WAS a rwd car. as were many corollas until the mass migration to fwd.

it looks a bit like a celica

If the roads are plowed, you can drive pretty much any RWD car. Even if they're not plowed, and you have a good set of tires, it's not that bad. I drove up and down hills with inches of snow, in a Mustang, with no issues.

I personally think RWD car drivers are pretty safe in the winter because they know their cars have the potential to lose control. The ones I'm most worried about are the AWD and FWD snobs that think snow can't affect them.
