It'd take about a week to list all the things wrong with it, but the single biggest problem is the roof.

No four wheel drive.
No forced induction.
No structual integredy.
Marketed to a very "confused" segment.

Er, its not a GT4 so it wont have a turbo or 4 wheel drive.

Why wont it have structural integrity?

Cos they cut the roof off. On a monocoque its a stressed component. And all Celicas should be GT4's, which was kinda my point.

At the end of the day its a convertable celica and looks ok for what it is.
Your opinion is very OTT since the car is not a GT4, and never was a GT4, so surely cant be compared with a GT4.
Toyota made plenty of Convertables over the years, and lots of companys convert normal cars into convertables. Both will add sufficient strengthening to chassis to compensate for the loss of the integrity the roof provides.

Not sure what your problem is Baz?? It a reasonable looking celica soft top and certainly dosent warrant your OTT description.

Nuff said. Over and out.
