I love me some old Toyota goodness... I miss the days of vinyl everything interior. A female friend of mine had a bright yellow one in highschool. We had nicknamed it the Bumblebee...

That and a red Volvo P1800 were our family cars when I was growing up.

The irony is that a 70's-80's era Celica suffered the same issues as their "today" cars. When compared to the competitors the Toy's were overweight, (sometimes) pretty faces that couldn't perform.
The Scion TC is a great example............

It is funny how tastes change and some designs turn out far better when they have had a chance to mellow for a few decades. This was the kind of car that everybody I knew drove in high school in 1987 and I no one liked them.
We wanted either something sporty like a GTI or a muscle car and late 60's Novas were the cheap V8 cars to have at that time, must have been 25 of them in my high school parking lot.
Man! Now that I think about it my late 80's HS parking lot would be a modern car guys dream. Late 60's Novas and Malibus a plenty. All the rich kids drove hand me down fintail mercedes, RWD 70's toyotas made up 30% of the total and aircooled VW's were another 30%. Always 5 or 6 60's mustangs, the occasional hopped up 70's Rabbit and the weird kids were rolling in modified Volvo 122s.
And Honda Aero 50's were everywhere!

I love the liftbacks. Sure they look like baby Mustangs but that's not a bad thing in this case. I would love to put this body kit on one...
..stuff a 1UZ-FE V-8 into the engine bay...
... and upgrade the suspension with AE86 parts.

Saying these look like baby Mustangs is the greatest complement a Mustang could ever get!

In reply to mad_machine:
Here in the central Willamette valley of Oregon. Combine roads that have never seen salt with a local economy that was centered around an industry that suddenly died (logging) in 1985 and you had a population that couldn't afford new cars and a large amount of serviceable older cars on the road.
If there was a new car in my high schools parking lot back then it was a $99 down Sentra. But that would have most likely been a faculty car.

All I'm going to say about that is that the Mustang is still here...

AND an SC14 running with O/S crank pulley. Estimates for this 7AGZE are about 170#/ft @ about 2600 rpm, with a peak of about 230#. Hp @ about 250 peak
