Toyota offered the Celica with a canvas-roof since the second generation and saw no reason not to cut the roof for its famous coupe’s fifth sequel.
By 1991, the Celica was already known for its performance, but the regular customers liked it for its on-road handling and as a great daily driver vehicle. Not all of them were the turbocharged versions with all-wheel-drive systems, and some customers enjoyed the car in the open-top version and front-wheel-drive.

The facelifted version featured a restyled bumper with a narrower grille at the bottom and exposed fog-lights. It sported the new elliptic Toyota logo on the hood and trunk, which replaced the former one with lettering. Its front fenders lost the turn-signals installed between the doors and wheel-arches area, and in the back, it showed smoked surroundings around the taillights. Like its predecessor, the car didn’t need any roll-bar above the B-pillars.

Inside, the Celica offered room for four adults with a pair of bucket-seats at the front and a bench profiled for two in the rear. But, since the legroom was minimal, those were used mostly as a storage area.

Under the hood, the carmaker installed only a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-pot engine that provided enough power to make the car moves decent. It wasn’t a car built for speed or going sideways around the corners.
