[The Grayline] Rumor Motor: 2010 Celica RWD | The Grayline: For quite some time there have been rumors abound that Toyota is working closely with Subaru to create a rear wheel drive car, to be released in 2010.  According to the blogosphere and forums where rumors get started, it will bear the badge name Celica.  Can you imagine the ricer reception!

[Car Throttle] Retrospective: When Toyota Made Interesting Cars, Part II: The new car switched over entirely to the new JZ block, with base models carrying the 220bhp 2JZ-GE 3.0L I6, almost as much as the old 7M turbo.  Big news was the Turbo: the 2JZ-GTE under the hood was a 3.0L iron-block 24v six, fitted with twin-sequential turbocharging.  Total power was 320bhp@5600rpm and 315lb-ft@4000 rpm.  Oddly enough, US-market Supra Turbos were more powerful than Japanese Market cars.  Thanks to smaller, quicker spooling impeller wheels on the turbos and larger injectors, the US-market Turbo handily beat the Japanese market car, 320 to 280.  This is due to a “gentleman’s agreement” between the Japanese manufacturers to limit stated output to 276bhp - or 280ps.  Of course, it’s unlikely the Japanese market Supras actually only made 280bhp, but it’s still interesting nonetheless.

[EverythingOutlet Blog] Toyobaru Coupe=8th Generation Celica? | EverythingOutlet Blog: Some of you know that the first Supra was a derivation of the Celica, before becoming Toyota’s flagship sports car before Japanese sport coupes got way too expensive. And because Toyota’s project of bringing super cars are likely canned with cost cutting measures today, this is probably the best we can get for the time beingn.

[The CarGurus Blog] The merger of Toyota and Subaru? | The CarGurus Blog: Usually there is some sensible driving force behind joint ventures, but here it only looks like an attempt by Toyota to release yet another Lexus look-alike and keep their designers fully employed. The price (if accurate) seems realistic, but there are many other cars in this class that I’d be more interested in driving than a 2WD Subaru that looks like a Lexus.
