I just can't warm up to the thing. I want to like the Celica, really. The styling is pretty cool, although I think the Toyota designers may have borrowed some cues from the Mercury Cougar this time, rather than the Mustang. But I could never get really comfortable in the car, and I don't think it's merely a sign of old age. There's no headroom, period.
Visibility sucks, especially with the optional rear spoiler.
I suppose young kids would love all that. But the only people able to afford it will probably be affluent older guys. If you were bored by the previous generations of the Celica that increasingly looked like cars driven by bank tellers, you are going to be thrilled with the new version. I have to respect that, even though it seems ridiculous. You're the only woman I know who can heave a curve ball all the way from left field.
