Toyota Celica News

Without doubt, the Pontiac Fiero is king when it comes to donor vehicles for replicas , but once in a very blue moon, we stumble upon exotic lookalikes that are not based on GM's mid-engined sports car.

No, I'm not insane or on the take. The car in question is the new Scion FR-S, and it's everything an affordable sports car should be.

Used to be Toyota had some seriously sexy sports cars, models such as the Supra, the Celica and the dinky little MR2; going back further, the 2000GT was sufficiently sexy to star in a James Bond movie.

If we had been alive in 1974 like many others still mourning the death of the muscle car would have likely scoffed at the idea that the tiny imported cars replacing the beautiful gas guzzlers we loved would ever be collectible.

As the Supra, Celica, and MR-S progressively disappeared over the last decade, so too did the excitement from Toyota's lineup.
