Retro fridays and the toyota celica

I scanned this ad from a 1992 issue of newsweek magazine. I still think the celica looks pretty nifty and can easily be modernized with just a few headlight changes. My dad's friend owned one back in 1998 and I thought it was a sexy car. The $13,918 in 1992 money is $24K in today's money. This is a few thousand dollars more then a 2015 V6 mustang. It's amazing what was considered a fast car back then is slow by today's standards also a V6 mustang blows away that celica. I do wish toyota still made the celica. No I don't think the scion TC is the successor to it
