Let's see, back in November when I was looking into buying a new car that's around $24k. There were serveral cars that I was looking at. And the Celica GTS was one of them. I liked the interior. I liked the fact that the console was cockpit like. My friend has an auto GT and she likes the car a lot and I drove a few times. I thought the car was quite responsive. Honestly, I would have bought the GTS if they dealership didn't quote me $10k for my 00Si. As for the Celica being a girls car. I think that I see more girls driving GT model and more males with the GTS. At the end, I chose the Prelude because I got more money for my 00Si at the Honda dealership. I liked the fact that the celica was smaller than the Prelude. I don't like big cars. I think power to weight ratio, the celica has an edge but not much. The sound of the motor when its "screaming"...that's really up to the driver. Then again if you were me and plan to boost the car...eheheh, the BOV will solve problem with the sound department. The interior for the prelude is indeed outdated but I kind of liked it. I'm also in the liking that not many people have Preludes. I like being rare. I got sick with the Si since everyone and their mother and their mother's mother has a civic and it would the same case with the RSX and WRX that I was looking at. Plus the fact that, the RSX and WRX were only in the first year of production and already so many on the street. And the fact that the possiblity of the type R and STi coming here...I'd feel like crap when the higher model makes it here. But most importantly...the EVO 7 was coming here...screw the STi. =P So at the end, I'm a Prelude owner.
