That's it there next to my lude
Not biased but Prelude definitely wins the beauty contest there with its lip kit and lowered broken suspension look. :)

I agree the prelude is better looking but iv wanted that car since my first drive in it is a weapon and I know the money he has sent on it and the parts he has fitted and work done are all the best of the best I really like the lude it's amazing this just happens to be the only car I like more I was planning on having the lude for years to come but then he offered me the Celica and iv not taken it yet won't till mid January but I dont think I can say no

Cant get him to swap cars for a weekend first can you? You might find that once you've 'scratched the itch' as it were, that you may not want to live with it.
Of course, if you do, then crack on 8-)

i must admit to being one of the few who like the GT4 :)
they remind me of when i was young and GT4's ruled the rally world 8-)
bennyboys suggestion is a good one tho - try before you buy ;)

I do like the gt4 and awd does sound cool. Have you had a bit of a race with him to see what's quicker off the lights or anything? That would be a decider for me, wouldn't want to go slower in a new car

GT4 is a nice car - although i would rpefer the lude's fuel consumption over the celica's.

I would imagine celica parts, maintainance and repair costs will be alot higher than the ludes.

Ive always wanted a evo 4 but could never live with the costs of runing it

Good luck though - the celica will be alot of fun - especially it being turbo

Mind you - everyone i know who has owned a honda always goes back to one in the end :)
