What happens when you click on 'save this vehicle?' - does it turn it back into a Celica?

But the fact that they actually classified it as a C4! Also, why would you paint it gold?

The fact that the modified Celica can almost pass as a 911 says something about Porsche's current styling.

Why bother? REAL 996's will be $18K soon.

Of all the cars that get bashed here though, I have to admit that one looks *really* good. Some serious work had to be done and it looks nicely finished.

Still makes no sense though.
