I, too, was heartbroken when I heard from my local dealership that the Celica line had been discontinued by Toyota. I agree with all the comments I have been reading – this was a dumb, stupid, shocking, brain-dead move by Toyota. Here in Northern California I see at last four or five 2000-2005 Celicas a day! And that’s while driving seven miles to work! Why would such a popular model be dropped? Let’s be grateful that Toyota didn’t increase their over-sized SUV line. I see way too many gas guzzlers that remind me of lumbering dinosaurs. If memory serves me well, it was the little prehistoric creatures that survived, not the huge dinosaurs. I hope Toyota realizes this, especially with our excessive use of oil products. My Celica gave me 36 MPG when I put her on cruise and drove from Central Oregon to the Silicon Valley of Northern California. She gets 30 MPG for combined miles, and 27 MPG for city driving. I would think that would be a good reason to keep the Celica. It has it all – great lines, powerful gas-squeezing engine, maneuverability, great MPG, and a 34-year track record of accolades.

The only consolation to all of this stupidity by Toyota is that the 2000 - 2005 models will be increasing in value. Once a model is discontinued, the value goes up. I figure by the time she is 25 years old she will be worth more than I paid for her!

I waited 17 years to buy my Celica. My last car was a Toyota Corolla Wagon – 1983 – 329,000+ miles on the original engine and purred like a kitten. I sold her to a mechanic when she was 21 years old. The mechanic fell in love with her and I knew she would have a good, loving owner.

I say this because that car was awesome -- performance, low repair rate, high MPG, (5-speed), and she took good care of her driver and passengers. My Celica does the same for my passengers and me.
