So, why does the Toyota Fortuner get the image of a 'bad boy' on Indian roads?

This has become a self fulfilling prophecy. Aggressive drivers are attracted to the reputation, which reinforces the stereotype, and so on.

I think it's more that the vehicle has the capabilities. If you are normally a calm driver, it is easy to get tempted to use that much power and size.
Is the Toyota Fortuner's off road capability overrated for most Indian users?

Most users are definitely overrated. I have had my Fortuner for 3 years and never taken it off road. I like the peace of mind it provides but it’s overkill for city use.

Not overrated at all. While you might not go proper off roading, the Fortuner’s capability is pretty good for bad roads, waterlogged streets and the odd trip to a farmhouse or hill station.

It’s like buying a gaming laptop just for browsing and MS Office. It works, but you're not using all the features and paying more than you need to.

That's what makes it a Fortuner, its off road capability. If you want a soft roader, buy something else. Just because some owners don’t use it fully, don’t dilute the Fortuner’s DNA.

I think the possibility is more than the use. Even if you rarely do, knowing you can go anywhere is a big part of the appeal.

I've taken my Fortuner off road and it's not overrated. I agree with most owners that they don't need or use this capability.

It's not just about being able to go to extreme places off road. It’s about how to handle whatever Indian roads can throw at you, be it potholes, floods or even a farmer’s tractor in the middle of the road. In that sense, it's very relevant.
If Toyota decided to bring back the Celica today, what would it need to have to be a success?

It has to be a hybrid with an optional manual. The best of both worlds if you combine Toyotas hybrid tech with a sporty chassis.

All-Trac system, bring it back! Today's market would be amazing with an AWD Celica with a turbo engine. It’s essentially the Golf R alternative to a Toyota.

An all electric Celica would be awesome to see. Make an EV that’s actually fun to drive, not just practical, using the sporty heritage.

Keep it simple, and keep it affordable. A lightweight naturally aspirated sports coupe with great handling. It's basically a step up from the GR86 but below the Supra.

It should be a "mini Supra" with turbocharged four cylinder and rear wheel drive. It gives sharp handling and an optional manual for the enthusiasts.

I believe a new Celica should be all about technology. Make it the latest in driver assists, a high tech interior, but not lose the sporty driving dynamics.

A Celica "crossover coupe"? It’s sacrilegious, but it could be a sportier alternative to the C-HR that actually justifies the Celica name.
Was it a mistake for Toyota to discontinue the Celica?
30 December 2024 11:00
Absolutely. With such a strong following, Toyota lost a ton of enthusiast cred by just axing the Celica. Just look at how popular the GR86 is now, that could’ve been a modern Celica.

I don't believe it was a mistake when it happened. Toyota was selling fewer sports cars, and needed to focus on more profitable models. They probably should have brought it back by now, but.
Was it a mistake for Toyota to discontinue the Celica?
30 December 2024 11:00
The discontinuation wasn't a mistake but the timing of it was off. Had they just held out a little longer, they could have turned it into a fun, efficient car during the late 2000s recession.

It was fine to stop using it, but never replacing it with anything was the real mistake. Toyota had a big gap in its lineup for years between the Corolla and the Supra.
