Toyota Celica GT-S (2003)


Call us a bunch of silly editors, but we've never been down with the Celica. It's kinda been a "your parents" sorta car. Not that there was necessarily anything wrong with the car, after all, it was and is a Toyota. But it didn't have the sex appeal of, say, the last gen Supra. However, in the name of automotive journalism, we gladly accepted an invitation to do a road test of a 2003 Toyota Celica GT-S with not just the Action Package, but a full TRD package. This we can do. The Toyota Action Package does a lot for the Celica's exterior and gives the hard-sculpted lines some additional eye-candy to catch everyone's attention. The option comes with different front and rear bumpers, Action Package-exclusive side rocker panels (side skirts) and a very large yet clean looking rear wing. Add black-out HID Xenon headlights, a beautiful looking and sounding TRD exhaust and some super-clean five-spoke 17-inch wheels shod in lo-pro Paradas and this is far from your momma's ride. Not shown is our test mule's color. Appropriately named Solar Yellow the Celica's skin lights up the sky no matter day or night. It also does a lot for the car's disposition giving it a "happy aura."
