I have an article in a mag somewhere about that car. I'm going to check on the sales numbers tomorrow. You are on the right track though. They sold the most on there debut year but sales slipped quickly. Probably because of the 1st gen AWD DSM's :D

Hehe yeah, those Eclipse's and the Talon's were hot shit back then.
The hypothesis I've heard is that at that time Toyota was so encompassed by their image of being a family car, an A to B car, the "refrigerator" of the auto industry, it just worked, no frills. A "Toy-mota" and such. People just ignored their attempt of putting out a sports car, they weren't taken seriously at all. The image of the Toyota brand at the time did in the Celica All Trac.
I think the Supra took care of that problem. <---- CI's Understatement of the Year. :)

Very true. Even the idea of a Japanese sports car was quite different then. NSX, All Trac Turbo's, DSM's, and the Z32 were top notch Japanese then. Then came the 4th gen Supra's, RX'7's and the rest of the Japanese horsepower war. There image was alot different back then. The Supra definitely changed that for the better though. I still kinda like the 91 style Supra Turbo though. There is an clean ass, original looking one around here with around 500hp.

Ha! A TC? I got a video of me racing one in my GSR somewhere. I got to find it for you. I gave him like 3 lengths and the go and still blew by him at like 40mph
