Most of the folks writing now never knew how hot the X1/9 was when it came out or what a dud the original Celica was.

I used to literally LUST after the X1/9 back in the mid 70's.  I was stationed in Morocco and could have picked it up in Italy.  Another person got a '76 or '77 131 and that sort of gave me a reality check.  It backfired like a rifle or shotgun going off all the time.  He never got it to stop before I transfered out.

I STILL think the X1/9 is a really sharp car.  I saw a picture of what is called a 'Tribute X1/9' the other day and it captured the essence.
