Year to Year Changes
1995 Toyota Celica:
A convertible joined the lineup, as a '95 GT model. Convertibles had a standard power top with a glass rear window and electric defroster, as well as power rear-quarter windows. Coupes showed no significant change this season.
1996 Toyota Celica:
Coupes could now be ordered with more prominent "contoured rocker panels." These were add-on lower side skirts, aiming to provide a sportier look. Toyota installed extra sound insulation this year, in an effort to respond to complaints about excessive noise levels in Celicas.
1997 Toyota Celica:
No more GT notchback coupes were marketed, but that body style remained available for ST Celicas. The GT's engine gained five horsepower.
1998 Toyota Celica:
The ST model and its 1.8-liter engine are gone for '98.
1999 Toyota Celica:
Toyota dropped the notchback, leaving only the hatchback and convertible. A redesigned Celica appeared for 2000, with styling inspired by Indy race cars.
