4wd, Turbo 4-Banger. Good figures. And some rally history to boot.

Cool car!

Cool, an older Turbo Toyota. This is when Toyota was awsome. I'd love to get one of these--too bad they never shipped them to America.

 

[mustangGT90210]

Cool. It's a old celica, plus 4x4!

 

[TaurusSHO]

11 votes and they're all cool. That seems unanimous but, lets see how things turn out.

 

[chepu]

For me its Sub-Zero, Its a Reminder of how cool and spirited was toyota back in the day.

SZ Without a Doubt, Its practicly a Car with Soul.

 

[Azure Flare]

I do believe that anyone that knows what this car is will vote cool, those that don't, are idiots.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Second favorite (sometimes first, depending on how the winds blowing) Celica. This was back when Toyota knew how to make a car, instead of the boring POS's they create today. It won't get you in to the super models bedroom, but a great little car to have fun with.

Cool.

 

[Eric.]

Cool. The generation after this one with the quad headlights would have been sub-zero though.

What? We got the Toyota Celica All-Trac. Same drive-train, 3S-GTE, hood scoop and all. Same for the ST-165, we also have AWD turbo variants of those.

It is cool in my book, just for being semi obscure and a symbol of a company that has forgotten how to do things.

 

[Jim Prower]

Yeah, cool, I guess. I don't like it as much as the later ST204s, mainly because of the bodystyle, but I do like that it's Rally while being reasonably understated...compared to today's Imprezas and Evos.

 

[NotThePrez]

One of the best rally cars created.

Cool.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

Cool. Not Sub-Zero because it isn't an ST205 GT-Four. There's one of those going around town which looks menacing as all hell and I love it.

I've never seen one of those on US soil that wasn't imported from Japan. I assumed the all-trac was just a model with AWD but no turbo.

 

[Tornado]

Nope. We got the GT-Four in America all the way up until the ST200 Celica. We just didn't get the special edition version of the car.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

Cool-> A car that was forgotten easily because of Toyota's stupid appliance image, the AE86, Supra, and the MR-2. These were the days were Toyota was still a great company (not anymore).

-> A car that had a very colorful and decorated history, also one of rally's all time greats! A true rival to the already legendary Delta.

-> I'd say, this is and still is the best Celica ever made. No other Celica (generations) can even touch it. And yes, even the sexy 1st-gen model.

 

[Tornado]

You crazy. A60 all the way.

 

[nobuffalo]

Another rally action shot!

Yep, the car is Sub-Zero to me, as well as the ST165s. If I had one i'd prolly be doing about 60mph sideways down some gravel road right now, inches away from rapping it around a tree.

 

[Punknoodle]

Well I had to vote sub zero since the picture used in the original post is my car

 

[Zenith]

Cool

+Great rally car
-not the prettiest thing

 

[GTPorsche]

Can't be anything less than Cool.

Great rally history and an awesome car.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Must say liked it from looks.
It took long, but once I got into one, it really feels a lot more sporty from the inside.
Sadly enough did never drive in the past.

Stayed on cool though, just a bit to much available and by some misused to turn the heads of all.

 

[Nicksfix]

I absolutely love this car. Turbo'd - awd - pretty nice styling cues = SUB-ZERO

 

[Rykon Zero]

It just screams "cool." It doesn't quite warrant sub-zero, though. nothing in particular about it, but it doesn't hit sub-zero.

 

[mafia_boy]

The Celica also known as "the frog" for it's looks and it's off the line performance back in those days. Carlos Sainz and Juha Kankkunen gave this car the recognition it deserved through their rally days and that continues to today as you don't find any tossers in these cars, unlike WRX's/Evo's!

Sub-Zero.

 

[XxTH3_ST1GxX]

Sub Zero 4 Me... being that I own 1

 

[Jay.]

No words needed

Definitely Cool!

Voting is done on this car. You don't need to post.
