Toyota Celica
Sporty Japanese car
The Toyota Celica is a sports car manufactured by Toyota from 1970 to 2006, popular for its affordable performance and sleek styling.
The name comes from the Latin word for "celestial" or "heavenly." Through seven generations, it evolved from a rear-wheel-drive coupe to a front-wheel-drive compact, becoming an icon of accessible Japanese sports cars: My first car was an '85 Celica.
