Never heard about a F/R lexus celica. There is talk of a new supra way in the future. For now you have the IS300, SC430 and i guess you can kinda count the new tC, but the tC makes me think of a nice sporty econo camry. Anyways, if you've ever been to the japanese toyota site they have a shit load of cars they seem to be going for profit these days, they find that they can make more money on other cars then the celica/supra/MR-S. Just go visit their japanese site, you'll see what I'm talking about. As big as they are I wish they would just cater to us and give us back a real sports car.

Re: Toyota Sports Cars
Don't worry Toyota will not let other car comanies have any market share they already have. The sport cars you see in Japan are here to, a little toned down I'll admit. However over here they are labeled as Lexus. The IS is powered by the one and the same JZ that once drove the Supra. The IS is the same car as the supra, with only two major differences between the two. One the IS has a longer wheel base and two the T top of the supra is switched for a hard top.
As for the celica, well the XRS is covering it. It has the same motor and with plans to have the AWD from the Matrix swapped to the Corolla who will need the all too slow celica.

Re: Toyota Sports Cars
Also keep in mind that Lexis does not exist in Japan. All the cars are labeled as Toyota
