jmactenn Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 There's a med tech in League City that has a white Celica GT-4. He called it a modified Supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4WStarion Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 An Eclipse a Japanese car? The rest are Japanese and still quite common here, Starion being the rarest. You could buy them all in good condition for about $10-15 US thousand. (not each, all) The Nissan Pulsar GTiR is a total crapheap, Prelude Type s has the same power as a Silvia Turbo (Sr20det) the Subaru pictured ain't turbo and the twin turbo VR-4 is over rated.

Fuze Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 A lot of these were never sold in the US, like that version Celica GT-4, that model Galant VR4, Accord Type-R... I think it's funny that they would include a pic of the last Eclipse as if it was a car people want to bring back. Are hairdressers demanding it's return? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malykaii Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Why does almost everyone think the gt3000/stealth is not the next generation starion/conquest? If the starion name was more successful in marketing, I don't see why the wouldn't have named it that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuze Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Why does almost everyone think the gt3000/stealth is not the next generation starion/conquest? If the starion name was more successful in marketing, I don't see why the wouldn't have named it that. The 3000 definitely took the Starion's place in the lineup. I wonder if it would have sold better here if they kept it's Japanese name, the GTO. Interesting read here on the history...
