I've always liked the Celica. Had a chance to drive one of the "Alltrac" AWD turbo cars a while ago - a rare bird, and quite a lot of fun.

I absolutely loved my 2000 model Celica, it was simply a blast to drive, and it's what got me into imports. I won two drag racing trophies from the Sacramento Raceway in it with a 60shot of nitrous. I got to race/drive on some great tracks in it as well, and it was one of the best handling FWD cars I've ever driven, right behind the Integra Type R.
It was tough on everybody when they said they were going to discontinue the car...I still think the car looks fantastic with the right kits. It just needed to be RWD instead of FWD...it would have been a killer:

The all-trac ones were really fun, my friend had a '92 all-trac. Great fun to drive when it worked, sadly, it always seemed to be broken.

hehe alltrac with the hard-to-work-on 3sgte with weak ring lands, and to change the clutch you need to drop the motor. not a fun car to work on, but it was fun to drive..

I sure wish they'd bring back a RWD model that pays homage to the 70's cars. Still regret letting that 76 LB go...
