Celica number seven could be Toyota's lucky number. Although the previous model was a best seller, there was a perception it lacked sporting credibility, hence the 'hairdresser's car' tag. Gone now are the criticisms of all show and no go, as the seventh generation Celica restores sporting pride to Toyota through cutting edge technology. As well as major styling and chassis changes, Celica has a new engine with variable valve timing and lift capabilities, a six-speed manual transmission and the option of side airbags. Toyota still expects female buyers to account for 43 percent of sales, with business customers and those aged 45-49 their main targets.
