GR Celica

There have been some recent videos of a car presumed to be the new GR Celica. These pictures and videos were taken during an event in Portugal.

The car's proportions look oddly stubby, I hope it's just the outcome of trying to graft a coupe body onto a spaceframe chassis that was designed to match the proportions of small hatchbacks, rather than how the production Celica would look like.

Proportions remind me of the Autozam. Almost looks like a Kei car.

Just another thing Toyota/GR gets while Lexus gets nothing.
Crazy too that if it's a Toyota GR Celica, then why does GR need to be its own brand? Like...is it a Toyota or just a GR? Ridiculous.

It is just a GR Celica. GR is it's own brand. Honestly I don't even mind that. Lexus needs a combustion variant of the LFA and an LC successor though.

From what I understand, Celica and MR2 WILL Be 2 different vehicles. Celica will produce around 300-350bhp and be front-engined, MR2 will be around 500bhp and be midengined.

I mind it because why does GR have its own models while Toyota also has a Toyota GR Corolla, Toyota GR Supra, Toyota GR Yaris, etc? Yet Lexus gets nothing as always? Like Lexus lost all its performance models while Toyota/GR get the MR2, Celica, and Supra? Makes 0 sense.
