The 2 most important Japanese car producers today are Toyota and Honda. Both cars are well made and have there own technological enhances. They also show the way the race for the most fuel well-organized cars. If you’re looking for the most fuel efficient car, the Toyota Prius has an edge over the Honda Civic. But if you’re looking for toughness, I would say that Honda cars are more durable. They will give you 5-10 trouble free years provided you obey with the manufacturers scheduled preservation checks. I’m not saying that Toyota cars are not durable, its just that Honda cars are made of sturdier stuff. On the down side, Honda’s design is redundant and parts are expensive. Toyota’s simpler figures make it easier and cheaper to maintain than Honda’s. This allows Toyota cars to be in top shape far longer than their competitors. Verdict: buy a Honda. If it reaches 10 years you actually have to get a new car anyhow.

The Toyota Celica’s name has been derived from the Latin word coelica (IPA[selika]) which means heavenly or celestial. (Wikipedia.org)

As of this time, the Toyota Celica has released seven generations of this sporty vehicle since 1970. This has continued to attract customers especially the young ones, including the young once. My dad used to own a first generation model of this, and until now he desires to have the latest model of this nasty sports car. The Celica has been called the Supra for some of its recent models. There has been rumors that Toyota will be releasing an 8th generation model of its kind.

When I was young we owned a Toyota Celica. It was my dad’s teenage car. In 1967, the Toyota Celica was planned and originally designed for young at heart motorists and for those who wanted more than a mode of transportation. In an official history of the Toyota Celica released by Toyota USA states that when planning for the Celica began in 1967, its styling was quite revolutionary and it influenced the establishment of the sporty subcompact market segment. The original Celica powered with a carbureted four-cylinder engine and was only available in ST form and as a two-door sports coupe making it an image car than a volume car.

Flash back: the Corolla E10 was launched in the 1960’s and sold until 1970, and is the first generation of Corollas sold by Toyota. The transmission was a 4-speed floor shift manual transmission, or 2-speed floor with rear wheel drive. During that time, only trucks were known to have 4-speed transmissions, and Toyota took the risk of trying out something new for its cars. It eventually became popular. Its closest competitor at that time was the Datsun 1000. It was sold in Japan, North America and Australia. The Australian market got right-hand drive versions of the same North American Corolla models.
