New Toyota Celica in works
Toyota is working on a replacement for the Toyota Celica based on the Scion tC (photo above). Scion is Toyota’s budget sporty car arm (Proton?) in the USA targetted at young buyers.
The Toyota Celica’s 1.8 engine will be upgraded to a new 2AZ-GE (not final codename) engine making 250hp via an aggresive VVT-i profile or some form of forced induction.
This is a direct aim at the Honda Integra Type-R/Acura RSX.

[...] At first glance, the new 2006 Toyota RAV4 looks like a face-lift of the previous second generation version, although it seems that it has gained weight abit, in the right proportions. It also gets a new snout shape flanked by projector headlamps which reminds me of the Scion tC Coupe. The new 2006 Toyota RAV4 is 145mm longer then it’s previous incarnation, and cabin length has been increased by 85mm. The distance between the front and rear seats has been increased by 55mm. The width has also been increased by 80mm. This will allow more comfortable seating of 3 adults at the rear seats. As a whole, the interior volume has increased by 13%. Newly developed rear suspensions with diagonal positioning of shock absorbers also allow more luggage room because of minimal wheel arch intrusion. This allows a 230mm increase in luggage room width, making a total luggage space increase of 47%. Maximum luggage capacity with the rear seats folded flat is 1,459 liters. [...]
