Hi David, Nice Tacoma… Very cool color 💙

5 speed transmission, slow, and terrible gas mileage, 16 mpg city.

He must be stuck in the non-synthetic oil era.

That’s a lot of sports car models for one maker. GR Supra, 86, Corolla & Yaris plus MR2 and now a Celica.

That bed is too short. Worthless as a truck.

👍 would be a beautiful dream to see the return of the toyota celica on the road again so many people been waiting for this day, the return of a beautiful car is just the dream we all want.

Can you please review the CX-50 ? - thank you!

The GR Corolla is $50,000-$60,000 Cdn , this would start probably around $65,000. That would put it in GR Supra range, unless they discontinue the Supra🤔 Also would like to see a FWD version for us poor middle class people just like the 4th and 5th generations when I started wrenching for Toyota.

I had 2002 Toyota Celica and absolutely loved it! Bravo to Toyota for keeping cars and niche ones at that!

I still love my 7th Gen GT. But I'm in my mid 30's and just sad this didn't happen 10 years ago. my relationship with the 7th gen is complicated. it's so unbelievably slow, but it handles so well in the mountains that evry time I drive it I love it all over again. I've been trying to get myself to part with it for years now, but I just can't. its frustrating really.

Sure, more promises that won’t happen

Yesssss!!! AWESOME News!!!! I still remember the 1st generation od the Celicas…… late 80’s and early 90’s which was the one that I like the most… You are awesome sir!!! Thank you for your hard work always sharing the best information since you are japanese and speak the language! That’s a huge blessing! I wish I could speak it too! And Thank you for your hard work and sacrifice traveling to Japan to take the factory tours and collecting the information DIRECTLY from the sources, like Toyota, Lexus and others…. I can’t wait to see and hear what you are going to share with us regarding to your next visit to the Tahara Plant, at Aichi, Japan for the Lexus IS500 (that I bought it), and other models like the 4Runner, Lexus GX550, etc… God Bless You!!!

I hope it’s not just offered in a hybrid like The Crown.

David, I noticed in the owners manual of the Tacoma, they recommend 87 octane, while the Land Cruiser the owners manual recommends 91 octane. I do believe the powertrains are exactly the same with the exact same power output on the Tacoma Hybrid and the Land Cruiser. Any idea why that is?

Love all this info especially “ice”

Honestly, not bringing Celica back as BEV on a dedicated EV platform is a HUGE fail! I understand the nostalgia aspect and focusing solely on that is a problem. Is Toyota wanting to retire the Celica in ten years? Because within 10 years EVs are going to be the desired over ICE, especially ones like this that expect performance. Celica is remembered as a great vehicle and, unfortunately, will be once again. 😢

I had a 1976 Celica GT with back. It was five speed manual and it was the best car ever owned. Plus it looked outstanding. Bring the bring back that model please.

Greetings from Canada thanks for sharing this video about the future toyota from the past 😊

I had an 80 Celica. Would buy this new one ❤

If the Celica (especially if it's in GT4 trim), MR2, S-FR. and Land Cruiser come to fruition, Toyota is going to be taking big shots across the bow of other manufacturers.

Awesome review! I’m buying my CX-30 today and this made me even more excited 🎉❤

Mr. AutomotivePress has definitively talked me out of getting a new Tacoma.

Let me guess, the new celica is going to be sharing it parts with Subaru/bmw

LoL I doubt it…….including GR86….. a total of four sports cars in Toyota range….. to be honest don’t u think too much, especially now demand for sports coupe are all time low…… by the way the rumours from Japanese motor magazines are hardly true…… for the last decades they always mentioned Mazda will bring back RX 7 but where is the new car?

Can’t wait, although I’m not a huge fan of that render design

Every 50 miles or 24 hours, whichever incomes first

Bring it back with a powerfull TOYOTA MOTOR not a crap bmw please...

Great points thanks. I have a question. I’ve heard conflicting things. Can you apply a wax over paint that’s been ceramic coated? What type of wax can be applied? Thanks!

This question is to automotive press. Can you get a Toyota designer to explain the tundra engine failures. For Toyota to get customer confidence they need to explain why the failures are happening and provide a a fool proof fix. I’ve heard of many new tundra’s requiring multiple engine rebuilds. That is not confidence inspiring. To build brand loyalty is difficult and long term reliability is needed. But to lose brand loyalty is easy with Toyotas ongoing recalls and failures.

I can’t understand other than the fact that Toyota just wants huge profits why they did nothing for 10 plus years to this 4 runner. They could have at least put a 6 th gear in it to improve fuel economy. That would have been been a huge game changer. It may be one of the most reliable vehicles but vehicles are still just a liability. With fuel prices at an all time high and climbing, reliable or not just doesn’t justify the price and fuel economy the 4 Runner brings. Most people over buy this truck thinking they will use it off roading but realize after that they should have bought something more sensible. I personally know 3 people that have sold their 4 Runners for this exact reason. They just don’t make sense anymore. The new model is no better intact maybe worse in terms of cost, plus an 4 cylinder unreliable turbo. No thanks Toyota. You build to order snd are losing brand loyalty due this to Honda. Someone at corporate better wake up fast before sales actually slump and Toyota finds itself trying to climb back up.

If this doesn’t come back with a manual transmission, Toyota will be dead to me. 😡

Oh! The next gen Lexus RC if this comes to the US?

How do you happen to own that many vehicles and not be completely broke? . It’s a proven fact that people that constantly buy new vehicles live in the lower class and generally have no money.

Stay away, Mitsubishi is too small a car company. That is why they have to manufacture this car in Japan. Assuming this vehicle lasts, it will be hard to get parts after 5 years compared to a RAV4 or Rogue.

If it comes back I hope it does look like the rendering here with cleaner look than the new Supra.

I hope it doesn't look like that. Its just a crown coupe. The Celica looked great

David, I would like to see Mazda produce a new generation of Mercury Tracer. 😉

Unless Toyota wants to squander on carbon credit purchases they’re going to have to at least have a mild performance hybrid to erase the turbo lag and increase city MPG. A six speed manual will help the highway speed MPG too end. 🤔

No thanks 🤮. Unless it's a rear wheel drive manual.

If the FJ mini Hooper, Celiac and MR 2 arrive in the USA, Ford, Buick, Jeep, and Chevrolet will have to cancel their car vehicles. Jeep already cancelled their Renegade upon seeing the FJ cruiser mini Hooper out of FEAR:)

Its about time... Toyota going back to it roots. There is hope for the future.

The Celica was “alright” at best as a sports car. I can’t anything Toyota could make that would be a better overall value than the GR86, best car for the price.

Best car magazine is bullshit. They claimed many cars decades ago and still never came to fruition.

Is it rear wheel drive? From the looks of the engine it looks like it might be. My questions is why don’t they put this engine into the mr2?

So it’s a 3sgte

Mr2 , Celica, Prelude….and more 😇 Gotta be saving until these come out and hopefully pick one up 😍 feel like the early 2000 again

LEXUS... ALWAYS A YEEES. I HAVE THE SAME ONE IN SAME COLOR. I NAMED IT THE THERAPIST.

So freaking excited. I still love my S185 all tracs, 2004 GtS and GR Supra but been waiting for a new Celica for almost 20 years. Can’t wait :)

For the most part, BMW knows a thing or two about driving dynamics as well.

With Toyota's trend these days, what you're telling me is I should get myself all hyped for an $43K plus $5K dealership mark up for a 1.3L turbo vehicle?
