Have some Kleenex ready...
Not sure if this is old news, but after hearing about a possibly new upcoming Celica, I came across it.
This is definitely worth holding out for if it gets the green light...

yeah this concept has been around for a while
as for it coming here, i have no idea, but given the number of awesome cars overseas that we will never see here, this will probably be one of them
Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
Apparently, a fully-optioned version will go for about $30K... somehow doesn't sound right.
EDIT: OK, it was too good to be true. According to an Oz sight, it may sell for $50-70K if it hits our shores.

nah, the nurb wasnt even that much afaik
Glider aka Toby, 94 Calibra Turbo
VXR's when 1st released sold for circa $46,800 drive away - here in Melb. not sure about other states...
Later on with the slowing down of initial interest/sales, the 2nd batch were going for anywhere around 42-44k drive away...
Then in the end with the occurance of the GFC the last ones left over including the Nurbs could be had for under 40k drive away...I saw many of the last ones going for 37-39k drive away !!!
The above prices were for outright purchases, those who bought with loans etc. especially the 1st batch could've or will have indeed paid well over 50k for their VXR...OUCH !!!
My rides: 2004 Opel/Bertone TS Astra turbo convertible - 2012 Mercedes Benz C204 C Class coupe
Others: 2009 Honda City VTiL sedan - 2015 Fiat 500
Can't really compare it to the vxr's though. This thing is a sports car, not a hot hatch. Also with atleast an $8k price difference going on BEK's revised pricing. Even with 10hp less than the VXR, it will probably be 150KG's lighter so no difference really in that respect. Bloody thing does look really nice though, except for those seats!
Track Times: Phillip Island - 1:59.4027, Calder Park - 1:08.8142, Winton 3km - 1:40.7810, Sandown - 1:29.6000, Haunted Hills - 62.55, 1/4 Mile - 13.736
