QUOTE (Tropi @ 25 Apr 2004, 09:13)On a side-note - I am an admirer of sleek elegance in cars and for this reason have always liked Celicas. Such a shame to turn a very attractive car into what looks like the result of a Scrapyard Challenge to produce a military amphibian with a pretty paint job!
As ever on SF there is a difference of opinion. Tropi, sir, I believe you to be somewhat inaccurate in referring to the car as a military amphibian. Looking at the wedge shape of the vehicle, it would more than likely turn itself into a submersible as any forward motion would want to drive the vehicle under the water
Once the car was submerged there would be very little hope of it returning to dry land under its own power, unless adequate snorkelling gear was fitted, so the term amphibian is once more made redundant
Mark.
P.S. I love the wedge shape of that Toyota - very agressive and purposeful
