I find them quite unattractive.

I like them both for different reasons. I have owned 2 HB and had one coupe. For some reason I prefer the coupe though. To me it just looks like a bully just waiting to pick a fight.

That is exactly how I feel.  I dont think I ever favored any car in a coupe if it had a hatch/fast back equivilent. <_<

When I had my 240sx, I could never figure how my peers liked the coupe more than the fastback(89-94).  Same with the Ae86, I think the coupes are (insert vomiting smiley)

I think I got screwed on my panda paint job...

I don't know about paining the inside. I am just going to take the time and the little bit of money and change out what I can in the interior from some other celi that I find with a decent interior (the junkyard near me sells most of the interior paneling for about 2.50 a foot or yard, dpending on who you are dealing with).
Did the celica ever come in a dark or light gray?  


I seriously want to paint my car, but I dont want to drive around a silver or gray car with a light blue interior  :unsure: that drives the chicks away  :lol:

My whole interior is blue!!! no other colors to break it up.   :(

Have any of you guys seen a terra cotta celica. It's probably the rarest color these cars came in. Not quite orange, not quite red, not quite brown. It's not flashy or anything but it sure does turn heads. :blink:
