Yeah, the ST205.

wheels look retarded, headlights look retarded, rear end looks retarded. interior seems nice though. *shrug*

as far as Celicas go, 1971-1985 FTW :)
And for the All Tracs, I like the 94+ style, although they weren't available stateside.

1971-1977 FTW. 1978-1981 FTL. 1982-1985 = "Okay" but only because it kinda reminds me of the MK2 Supra. ;)

BTW: 22R FTL!`

^yessir

edit* damn you Jeff! LOL

edit 2* for the 22R hater. not everyone likes the 22R/RE. I've had 3 Celicas 22RE powered and a 89 P/U 22R powered and loved them all. May not have as much HP/TQ as you'd like, but damn reliable to say the least.

When a Celica Vert can sit for a year in the front yard, going through a cat 3 hurricane and all, and start right up FIRST TRY with a new battery and bad gas, I wouldn't bitch :)
27mpg highway @ 85mph isn't too shabby for a low tech 20 year old car

Buddy's 93 Pontiac GP did that. And its a 3.1L. So yeah, doesnt always count for reliability. Ive heard some good things about the 22R though.

That was just an example, not a true testimate to the true reliability of the 20/22R/RE engines. I have too many stories to tell, and I'm sure they'd bore the hell out of the Mk3 crowd which is why I refrained from making a gigantic post that would get little or no replies.
