yeah, as far as i know the FT-HS IS a concept for a supra replacement or reincarnation... whoever posted these speculations must not be very good at speculating, and exactly when did toyota purchase majority shares in Subaru, last i know this was GM (Saab 9-2x)...

WHAT A SHAME!!! the world's largest manufacturer's getting help from the smallest!!! With all the money they have, they did not have an engineers that'll make the car thier own.. I dont think that the Celica will be based on the FT-HS.. They'll ruin the concept.. Moreover, it has nothing to do with it in the styling cues or designing dimensions..

When I see concepts such as these I wonder, is it asking too much to make a car such as this one when we're about to enter the second decade of the 21st century. Of course they could. At least Toyota can.

subaru boxer motors are wonderful but i think they only belong in subarus... why would toyota not develop their own motor for these cars, especially when they are right under their noses? for example a newer, cleaner reincarnation of the legendary 2JZ-GTTE or 1JZ-GTE motor for the FT-HS and maybe develop a higher compression, more aggressive, rwd variation of the 2.4 DOHC VVTL-i motor from the tC, xD and camry for the AE86 reincarnation and/or celica

give us the new supra, not a new celica with boxer engine..of course boxer engine is great, but toyota is the biggest car manufacturer on the world, can't they develop their own high performance engine ? don't start moving like GM

It's maybe more a question of manpower rather than brainpower that pushes Toyota to 'outsourcing'...

"and exactly when did toyota purchase majority shares in Subaru, last i know this was GM (Saab 9-2x)..." -nickkop Toyota owns 8.7 percent of Fuji Heavy Industries(Subaru). GM announced that they were selling their Fuji Heavy Industries shares to Toyota back in October 2005.

2009 celica should be a convertable 6speed gts 21century vehicle with nice spoilers and a sexy tailgate even though the interior is sweet
