Dandism floor mats are possibly the single greatest thing Toyota has ever done.

You are so right with this!
My old SW20 had them and I was so proud of them!

Well there's already 2 celicas in the list, 3 would be greedy!

I can see why the GT4 wouldnt make it.

Compared to the impact that the evo and WRX made, GT4 wasnt a spectacular car by comparison of that type/era.

When people think of 90s rally, nothings more iconic than WRX / EVO battles, from grass roots right to top level.

lold @ how they mention TA40 as being a touring car, then show a pic of one airborne on a rally stage :P

Pfffttt - unless you grew up with Sega Rally Championship! The Celica owned.

And the car had 4 drivers titles + 2 WRC titles under it's belt. 1 more title then the Evo and two more then the WRX.
