just been looking at the new celica and i am surprised at it will have the boxer engine of a subaru.

i think it will be this one

but this is very nice

Powering the coupe will be a Subaru 2.0 liter flat-4 engine with 200hp and 145 lb-ft. of torque. Road and Track is predicting that the car will weigh in at about 2700 lbs. That would make this a pretty quick car pushing 0-60mph around 6 seconds or better.The base engine will likely be coupled with a six-speed manual and an optional automatic transmission. Talk of a premium celica gt4 turbocharged version and the plans that it will deliver over 300 horsepower.

the top one looks like a 3/407!

I always thought the Gen 7 had a smattering of a slightly squarer Peugeot look about it, myself, anyway.

Both the cars in those pics look like tubs of lard.

The top one is a modified Scion tC, it replaced the Celica in the US.

The bottom one is the Toyota FT86, which will be released in 2012.

Neither are a "new" Celica.

thats like saying a acura is not a honda or a lexus is not a toyota

its nothing like that :) that is the car manufacture you are comparing, not the cars name

dub is right the bottom picture is a FT86 and hasnt been confirmed what it will be called, everyone is speculating it to be the new celica when Toyota have neither confirmed or denied this
