The selfie cam pops up when in use - and if you drop the phone, a sensor makes it turtleneck back in!

Scary stuff though, I wouldn't want to test it and break the thing!

Thankfully the selfie cameras under the screen is becoming a thing so won't have to deal with notches or any other pop-up nonsense soon.

Nikon Aculon binoculars. Zoomable 10-22mm, which I find very handy for my usage. Having nothing to compare them to I can't really critique them, but for ~£120 I'm really impressed with the quality of the image.

Also picked up a 'Katsu' dual-action polisher from Amazon for ~£50, along with some 'Tack Life' 180mm polishing pads.

I've just had a go on my car's bonnet with some Autoglym Super Resin Polish and I'm really impressed with both the DAP and the pads, especially for the money when the Maguire's equivalent is ~£200.

I've never owned nor seen a selfie camera on a phone pop up? Or have I miss read

Upgraded from my 2002 Polo earlier in the week, been grinning like a Cheshire cat since.

Very nice car congratulations.

Some new bits for some DIY.

Nice kit @Clov!s, but I have to say brick bond tiling in that intricate area with a sticky-out bit was a bad idea

That's a lovely view from your kitchen window

That's only 1 view of 3

It is quite deceiving actually, probably not far off 12ft away from my window, that's the entry way where the bins are kept etc and access to the back garden.

What does a Celica have to do with this car?

I'd say that the gt86 is a pretty natural evolution of the Celica in terms of aesthetic design.

Well it isn’t. They’ve not called it a Celica for a reason.

Toyota did stop the Corolla and made the Auris, now the Auris has stopped and Corolla is back.

Is the Auris the natural evolution of the Corolla?

The auris is toyotas version of the ct200h from lexus's range

the exact same car apart from better bodykit on the lexus and better mod cons.

i think you will now find in future the same car from them again apart from the lexus has all the extras and more as standard. which is why i chose lexus. it comes with a ridiculous amount of spec as standard. if you want to save money then buy a toyota you get the same reliability just without all the luxury.

And yet the Ford focus replaced the escort, the Mondeo the Sierra. Evolutions.

The Celica, a 2 door sports coupe ended and the gt86, a 2 door sports coupe came back. Could you explain how that's not a natural evolution? They both fill the exact same market segment from the exact same manufacturer. They also certainly share similarities in looks.

It's also worth noting Toyota mulled over calling the gt86 the Celica but didn't as it already had a different name under scion in the US. So...I guess it is.

wether you are correct or not, I've never heard anyone call a fous and escort or mondeo a sierra, likewise the first person to call a GT86 a Celica, its not what the car is called, which essentially means you are wrong. stop arguing a completely pointless argument, the only person you are trying to convince at this point is yourself

I’ll explain when they release the next gen of Celica which they are fully expected to do.

The GT86 is a completely separate car from the Celica and her lengthy heritage.

To call a rebadged Subaru a Celica is just silly.
