So it's the best 6th Gen Celica you could buy here but in terms of the 6th gen as a whole they're about middle of the range. I think the equivalent for a 3rd gen Integra would be if the best one they sold here was the SE and the GSR and Type R were only sold overseas.

These days imported GT-Fours are now going north of $20k thanks to the Americans. This is a bit cheaper but I think it would take a very particular person to drop that kind of money on one. If they're banking on how clean it is they'd be better off getting rid of the subs and that wonky intake and putting as close to stock as possible.
Any idea why the 6th gen Celica offerings in NA were so lackluster? Emissions??
