Englewood Toyota Celica Enthusiasts Await Debut of 2012 Celica at Groove Toyota

The leading Englewood Toyota dealership, Groove Toyota, proudly announces the eagerly anticipated relaunch of the original affordable sports car, the Toyota Celica.

Celica, which has been absent from Toyota’s line-up since 2005, is expected to return as a four cylinder, rear wheel drive, economical and fuel efficient sports car sure to become a favorite of Englewood Toyota consumers.

The redesigned Toyota Celica is expected to be an aerodynamic hatchback capable of seating four adults. Celica’s linear, fluid design will certainly turn heads and get you noticed in Englewood, CO!

The Celica is a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru. Englewood Toyota consumers will appreciate Toyota’s reliability and fuel economy and Subaru’s sporty powertrain. The Toyota-Subaru alliance has engineered Celica to be a sports car with high-price looks but still a relatively low price tag.

Powering the coupe will be a Subaru 2.0 liter flat-4 engine with 200hp and 145 lb-ft. of torque. Road and Track is predicting that the car will weigh in at about 2700 lbs. That would make this a pretty quick car pushing 0-60mph around 6 seconds or better.The base engine will likely be coupled with a six-speed manual and an optional automatic transmission. Talk of a premium turbocharged engine in the plans that will deliver 300 horsepower.

The  Celica may have a bold powertrain and exciting RWD platform, but stays true to its roots as the iconic everyday affordable sports car with an anticipated price tag anticipated to be in the $17,000 to $25,ooo range.

The exhilarating new Celica is expected to premier at your Englewood Toyota dealership, Groove Toyota, later this year.
