$60k for a Celica?! The 2.0 GR Supra barely sold and they cancelled it. If true I’m going to need Toyota to make a sports car with the 300ps variant engine and sell it around $35k-42k

The supra is a different story since bmw put the b58/s58 in many of their cars. For people that want b58/s58...there are many options. Imo Toyota should have never put the b58 in the supra and saved it for an engine they could develope to compete with the s58. Imo it ruined the supra name plate. The mk4 supra will always be more legendary than the mk5 supra regardless of the mk5 being more powerful.

never happening I noticed jan 2023 a worrying trend started comparing engines and prices from 2022,23 and it got way worse in 2024 car prices go up fun engines disappear power on the remaining petrol goes down hard the only way it would have 400hp would be as a PHEV which are EV and I don't want an unusable sportscar that if a carboard box flies under your tray and scratches it means your car is totaled and uninsurable because of fire hazard I also don't care about a PH-EV that depreciate by roughly 50% day1 zero miles driven because I've got news for you manufacturers and dealership deduct the battery pack value immediately after purchase it's considered a non-resellable consumable by them internally and they cost 33-66% of a new EV price for example the mach-e sold 50k the battery is 35'000USD the story is the same for PH-EV

We do have affordable sports cars like the Gr86/BRZ and Matia, but people constantly complain about them not having enough power. More power equals a higher price tag, simple as that.

7:50 Id love to know their manufacturing capacity for this mill. If the cap is high id set a base number to be manufactured and leave it to the market to dictate what numbers really come out. Exmaple , set 100 for production, and leave the orders open for who ever wants them. Place your allocation and allow the market to decide saturation. You might find double or triple the take rate or you may find your 100 was just right. At the end of the day it will still be rare. Your average buyer cannot afford this, but there are many who can.

You can get incentives for plugin hybrids in Europe and easy access to license plates in China, that's their main appeal. In both regions a large portion rarely get plugged in, and a lot of owners might not even have home charging. If regulators start monitoring and demanding they mostly run on electricity their appeal will go down.

Supra and Corolla dead? Nah Toyota isn't so stupid to kill off the Supra AGAIN just one generation after reviving it. Toyota needs to bring back the 2JZ engine back that's for sure but I think they're pretty aware of that. Plus, the fkn LOTUS EMIRA has a Toyota-sourced V6 engine. That's right a goddamn LOTUS has a Toyota engine on it. So how about Toyota use that same Lotus's engine and put it in the new Supra. It's not the 2JZ but damn it's an engine that is also in a LOTUS! What's not hype about that? And the GR Corolla, well come one its a corolla with a GR Yaris build. It's not that expensive to manufacture. I think the GR Yaris/Corolla will be dead when a new official WRC racing car comes out. Then there's probably gonna be a few years until they release new road-legal versions.

@@iManual6peed Toyota is known for its BIG lineup. While others brands try to keep their variety to a lower more "manageable" number, Toyota is just so big that they just release as many models as they want. So yeah, I do think the MR2 and the Celica can totally exist at the same time as the Supra. Besides, the Supra not selling well is just destiny at this point lol. The Supra NEVER sold well past the mk1. So I'd say that's completely normal there. It shouldn't be a problem tho cuz the money they make on Corollas, Camrys, and Rav4s alone is enough to make up for the production cost of the Supra. That's something that's always bothered me, when big brands kill off low sale cars bcs they don't sell but like BRUH, the other more popular models are carrying the brand already so why the f*ck are they worried that ONE model isn't selling as much!? If all brands did that they would all have become just like fkn Mitsubishi: lame, ugly crossovers and an econo-car that's been deemed the WORST new car you can buy but people but them anyway bcs they're cheap as f*ck. Toyota already came out of its "econo-car" era and is making a comeback into the sports car and off-road world. If they kill the Supra again, that whole momentum will be lost and people will switch from hating on the Supra to hating on Toyota for giving up so fkn quickly. Just take some funds from the Camry's big fat piggybank and bam! Easy! Supra can keep going for another decade regardless if it sells or not. And besides, it's not like the Celica and MR2 are gonna sell well either. Allow me to remind you that those were originally killed off bcs of low sales also. Same with the Lexus LFA, they're only bringing it back bcs people live the car NOW but back then nobody wanted to buy a supercar with a Toyota badge on it. It's just like Andrew Garfield said as a response to fans suddenly wanting him to return as Spider-Man after all these years. He said "WHERE THE F*CK WERE YOU ALL IN 2012???" (Meaning where the f*ck were all these fans when it actually mattered.) Same applies to the car world. People get upset when a model is discontinued bcs of low sales but like BRO! If you all loved the car so much then you should've f*cking bought it!!! Oh well I got carried away. Sorry about that 😅

Those PHEVs in Europe would have less electric range in EPA. Those chinese long range PHEVs are not good. They are not good as a BEV because very short range (at best 100 mile real range), and they also aren't good as hybrids because the ICE is very small (3 cylinder with under 1.5L on a 5000lb car) is used only to go to a charging station to charge your battery. Doesn't make sense for a PHEV to have more than 60-70 miles of EV range.

In 1991, SW20 MR2 base model sold for $19,000 ($43,000 in 2024) The most expensive iteration of the 90s MR2 Turbo in 1995 was $28,000 ($57,000 in 2024) 70k is absurd! Screw these new car prices!

Lets talk about the awkward front end design of the forthcoming Honda Prelude. Its stealing design cues that its competitor the Celica is likely to have as well as the design shared by the Prius and other Toyota models... I like the look, but don't want my Honda ripping off the look of its direct competitor at Toyota.

They'll build the MR2 like an Evo with a 2.2l stroker ,with 4bolt main, rigidity to the block,and oil pan, as well reinforced chassis,forged wheels, twin scroll 66 or /72mm turbos, 84×84 mm stroke and bore and it'd hold 600 awhp no issues even 800+HP with an upgraded clutch and larger intercooler with iridium spark plugs and wahlah!

After seeing Toyota corporate's responses with denied warranty claims on the GR Corolla because they went 114 mph I would NEVER, EVER buy a performance vehicle from that company. That's setting aside the fact that their reliability as a whole has turned into an absolute dumpster fire with the V35a and these new GR Corolla fires.

“BEV” is an unnecessary term. If you want to specify a designation for a battery, then you need to call a HEV a HBEV (hybrid battery electric vehicle), because those also use battery power. But why? Can we just stay with EV, HEV, & PHEV? The BEV is redundant and unnecessary. There is already a term that exists and it is simply EV. If you insist on using “B” for battery, I insist be consistent for all Battery powered vehicles… EV -> BEV HEV -> HBEV PHEV -> PHBEV But don’t do that. Let’s stop with the “BEV” nonsense.

Kirk - we need another comparison between the Toyota Celica, MR2, GR86, and Supra. At first glance, it looks like Toyota is just trying to grab more of the low to mid cost sport car market share. What type of audience is Toyota trying to target for each model?

For corporate vehicles where the owners are given company fuel cards, for the most part when privately owned PHEV are purchased people plug them in. Few folks are paying extra for a PHEV/EREV just to pay even more out of pocket to fill it up with fuel.

I've got my Now and Laters and my Coke Zero and I'm buckled in !!! Let's go !!! Both the Celica and MR2 look promising but concepts always are. I remember seeing the concept VW New Beetle and concept Ford Mustang at the New York auto show. Both were brilliant. I was especially impressed with the New Beetle. It managed to capture the zeitgeist of the old Beetle but with more severe, minimal geometry. The resulting car was a dumbed down dud. Hated the thing. I felt the same way about the Ford Mustang. Automotive manufacturers can make cars as great as the classics but they choose not too. Automotive designers are handcuffed by the suits who care more about profits than cars.

It would be a grave mistake making a Celica equaling or exceeding the performance of the Supra. The Celica has always been about reasonably priced sporty cars, not sports cars. Its should come with a base 200 hp engine and the 300 hp engine from the GR Corolla for the top model so it could be priced from 30,000 to 40,000. It should be rear wheel drive and offered with both manual and automatic transmission. The MR2 should only come with the 300 hp GR Corolla's engine placed midship of course. Using this engine in both the Celica and MR2 would greatly reduce cost.

3:28 I have a 2024 NX250 on loan this weekend the Prius shifter is the worst thing I've ever experienced. Last night I thought I had it in drive and it was in reverse and I floored it backwards. Even in Manual mode with paddle shifters the transmission software locks you out of gears no matter the speed. Whatever transmission they use for either MR2 or Celica wouldn't even consider buying one with that shifter.

While it’s technically possible for them to produce a 600hp engine, for profitability reasons, the actual output might be between 200-300hp. The vehicle’s weight will be kept light, ensuring it still offers plenty of power for an enjoyable driving experience. Although there are rumors suggesting a 600hp model, it’s unlikely they will produce one. Currently, Toyota offers the GR86, and unless they discontinue it, we might not see the MR2 or Celica in North America.
