I dealt with the same thing on the AE86 when I was talking to people about it. I prefer them over the tCs as well since it's built for more RPMs (thanks Yamaha). I know I hear the Celica's are "chick cars" from several people, but that's why I don't drive the auto I was deciding on either the older Celica or even an Integra (non-VTEC) but figured I'd go with a newer model and I couldn't find a good ST20x Celica or Integra that hasn't been modded and decided to go with the ZZT231 because I've always wanted a 6 speed and also I felt that the 2ZZ-GE was the successor to the 4A-GE and wanted to see what that's like. I personally like the look, but what's more important is that driving it is almost as much fun as my AE86.
If you like the look that's all that matters... as soon as one person states they don't like it on these boards the rest of the sheep follow.

I like it, nice car man.
