Right, it has come to this... one of these cars will succeed the prelude...

They both can be bought for 5-6k and they both weigh in about 650 fully comp insured...

What one would you pick?

The galant, 1480kg, 280bhp, awd, triptronic, more creature comforts, usable back seats, more anonymous

The celica, 1350kg, 250bhp, awd, manual, the more "economical" and a hatchback with pretty good rear sears considering.

I must admit i'm swaying toward the galant, but my "sensible" side notes that a single turbo 2l will be more economical than an auto twin turbo v6 :)

Most of my driving is motorway and the drive through the town to work, but the odd trackday wouldn't go amiss.

yeah, its also parkable anywhere - it doesn't look like a scoob or evo, and the tiptronic automatic is actually appealing to me. my only worry is the handling coming from the prelude
 
a BMW 328 coupe has slipped into the shortlist again seeing the drop in budget.

grrrrr, i may as well buy all 3 !
 
the GT4 has wider arches, a bonnet vent and a front bumper vent, some have extender blocks on the spoilers
