they make a turbo celica, its clled an all-trac turbo i believe. faster than the n/a supra and better mpg.

... as I said I don't want a FWD. I also doubt the All-Trac would require less maintenance than the N/A Supra.

My mpg ranges from 16-22, making 19 the average. ill get 16 when having leadfoot and 22 (sometimes even 23 or 24) when driving at the speed limit on the highway (which is hardly ever

). I guess I could get a little better gas mileage after rebuilding my engine and upgrading my restricting air filter and stock exhaust, but the Supra is not known for good gas mileage. My mom's 3.8L Mercury Sable and 4.0L Jeep Cherokee actually get better gas mileage.

I believe the all-trac is AWD

Yeah I just looked it up, it is AWD, which I don't like as much as RWD. I guess efficient, low maintenance RWD non-two seater is what I'm looking for (a little too demanding, huh?). I was even looking at second generation Celicas (RWD), but I haven't found any in good condition. So it seems like its between the 240 and N/A Supra.
