In a nomination for cars you didn't know existed, I never knew there was a 3 box version.

Anyway, I'd say a low cool if left stock and in decent condition.
 
Not the best generation of Celica, fairly uninspiring on the looks front. Mind, it isn't offensively ugly, and it isn't particularly terrible generally, just sort of fades into nothingness. When it comes to the Celica, the 4th gen is probably the most forgotten of all iterations, or at least that's how it appears to me.

Meh.
 
Loses marks for being the first FWD based Celica, gains marks for bringing the rally heritage and AWD.

Idk low Cool?
 
Not a design that's aged at all well. GT-Four aside, which isn't part of the poll, it's a solid meh.

That's what I went for. They're rising back out of bangerdom at the moment and at least in the UK, the ones you tend to see now (once in a blue moon) are typically standard and in tidy condition. Good slice of nostalgia.

I'd disagree with that. The slightly tired-looking white one in the main image isn't all that special but in the metal these have good proportions, and in darker colours I'd say they're looking quite handsome now.
 
It Looks so dreary in Pictures but there is a red one for sale in my hometown at the Moment...when i buy groceries I have to drive past the dealership and I have to say, I developed a softspot for the design.
