Toyota Celica and MR2's Return Would Restore Iconic '90s Nameplates

Toyota could bring back some hits from the 1990s based on reports of a new Celica and MR2.

Both cars would likely be powered by the organization's new G20E turbocharged [website] four-cylinder.

The Celica has reportedly been confirmed, and Toyota's mid-engined GR Yaris M concept sure looks like an MR2 development mule.

Toyota's debut of a brand-new four-cylinder turbocharged engine at this year's Tokyo Auto Salon raised more than a few eyebrows. In an era where electrification grabs the headlines and crossovers rule the sales charts, stuffing a turbo four with as much as 400 hp in a subcompact Yaris seems suspiciously too much like enthusiasm for a organization as serious as Toyota. And they stuck it in the middle? What are those 'Yota engineers up to exactly?

Seems like someone has built a time machine at Toyota HQ because the corporation is set to turn the clock back to the 1990s and release two of its greatest hits. The return of the Celica and MR2 nameplates was hinted at in the first episode of a Toyota-produced anime series called Grip last November. A few weeks after that debut, Toyota's executive vice president Yuki Nakajima confirmed that the Celica was in Toyota's plans, as . The mid-engined GR Yaris M concept (pictured below) points to that a reborn MR2 could be heading our way too.

With the Supra on its way out the door, and a new one not slated until later in the decade, the return of a high-performance two-seater could slot right into Toyota's lineup as a halo car. Powertrain details are still murky as the car is not officially confirmed to be joining the Celica, but comments to AutoExpress by Naohiko Saito, Gazoo Racing's lead engineer, seem to indicate that all-wheel drive was going to be part of the setup. Considering how much fun the GR Corolla is, a cut-down, mid-engined two-seater version would be aces. And there's every chance it would look great too. Toyota's FT-Se concept debuted at the 2023 Tokyo auto show as a potential EV platform, but its packaging would be ideal for a midship layout.

As for the Celica, that could very well end up as a reborn version of the 1990s All-Trac, with turbocharged power and all-wheel-drive grip. If the Sega Rally theme tune just started playing in your head, then yes, it's possible Toyota could enter a motorsport version of this car in rallying, as new WRC rules have loosened up a little.

Even though Toyota is far more dependent on moving RAV4s and Camrys out the door in their masses, it's nice to see that there's still time to work on the fun stuff. Right now, a little mid-engined Yaris is zooming around a test track in Aichi prefecture, working on its Pokemon evolution to level up into a new MR2.

GM’s EV Surge Is Set To Face Its Biggest Challenge This Year

General Motors is no stranger to navigating storms. It survived the 1970s oil crisis, managed to stay relevant after the onslaught of Japanese automakers in the 1980s, got a colossal bailout from the [website] government after the 2008-2009 financial crisis, survived the pandemic and now offers the most diverse electric lineup of any legacy automaker in the [website] But 2025 could be a different beast altogether for America’s largest automaker and arguably one of its toughest tests yet.

Welcome to the Friday edition of Critical Materials, your daily dose of news and events shaping up the world of electric cars, software-defined vehicles and autonomous tech. Also on our radar today: Tesla has applied for a robotaxi permit in California, setting the stage for a rivalry with Waymo and Uber. Plus, we explain why some EV buyers may not be able to redeem their federal clean vehicle tax credits this year. Let’s begin.

30%: GM's Tough Road Ahead Amid Trump's Tariffs.

GM CEO Mary Barra with the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV.

Not to sound alarmist, but 2025 is shaping up to be a high-stakes year for GM. The automaker spent billions on scaling up its EV programs and now it offers the most variety of any automaker in the [website] GM has 10 EVs riding on its Ultium battery and propulsion system, ranging from the $35,000 Chevy Equinox EV all the way to the $100,000 GMC Hummer EV.

It’s also selling Chevy, Cadillac and GMC EVs at a record pace. After a rocky start plagued with software and production troubles, the automaker staged a remarkable comeback in 2024, selling 114,432 EVs and eating into Tesla’s declining market share. That made it the second-best-selling EV maker in the final quarter of 2024, trailing only Tesla.

Variety has certainly played a role, but policy has been the real tailwind. Like much of the industry, GM has benefited from the $7,500 federal clean vehicle credit—now redeemable at the point of sale—which has helped make its EVs more accessible.

President Trump has threatened to repeal this credit and pledged to move forward with the 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico. That’s a direct hit to GM, as two of its best-selling EVs—the Chevy Equinox EV and Blazer EV—are made south of the border. With the repeal of the tax credit and the addition of the tariffs, prices of these EVs could spike, squeezing GM’s margins and scaring new buyers away.

Here’s more on that from Reuters this morning:

Losing the $7,500 incentive could tank EV sales unless automakers cut prices, expressed Ivan Drury, director of insights for automotive research firm Edmunds. "We know what happens if you don't provide it," he expressed of EV subsidies and discounts. "You don't sell." GM expressed it had not decided whether to lower prices if the subsidies end and that it would wait to assess consumer and competitor reactions. GM nonetheless takes a "very long-term view" of its EV commitment, expressed spokesman Jim Cain.

The news wire even termed GM’s EV commitment as “stubborn,” which is a rare description these days. If GM can weather this storm—and it has the tools to do so—I think it can emerge as a bigger player in the EV market, and who knows, maybe even take Tesla’s crown down the line.

There are several reasons why that can happen. GM is now “variable profit positive” on its EV business as CEO Mary Barra expressed during the enterprise’s Q4 2024 earnings call earlier this year. In simple terms, it’s making more money on EVs than the fixed costs involved, like labor and materials. That doesn’t account for other costs such as building new assembly lines, but it’s still a big step in the right direction.

Plus, lithium prices are falling. Ten new battery plants are coming online in 2025 in the [website], which could make batteries cheaper. That could soften the financial blow of tariffs and potentially lost incentives. And let’s not forget that the beloved Chevy Bolt EV will return this year in an all-new avatar, riding on the Ultium platform. It could be a volume seller, and GM has promised it will be its most affordable EV.

It still has a safety net because its highly profitable gas truck and SUV business isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, that’s only growing. Still, the uncertainty is like a wrecking ball. We’ll see whether GM’s EV ambitions keep growing or hit a wall.

60%: Tesla To Compete With Waymo, Uber In California.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated during the automaker’s Q4 2024 earnings call that the brand will finally launch its robotaxi ride-hailing service in Austin starting in June this year. Last year, he had also promised that it would begin operating robotaxis in California, too. And now the first signs of truly self-driving Teslas operating in the Golden State are finally emerging.

Bloomberg reported that Tesla has applied for a “transportation charter-party carrier” permit with the California Public Utilities Commission. That’s a step toward owning and operating its own robotaxis. This is part of Musk’s big gamble on robotaxis as its passenger vehicle sales continue to decline. Someday it could be worth trillions of dollars, the CEO has claimed.

For now, though, these robotaxis won’t be fully autonomous. Tesla will start with human drivers in the cars, at least initially. Waymo began testing with human drivers years ago before rolling out true driverless services in Phoenix and San Francisco. Waymo is now clocking 200,000 paid rides in the [website] every week, before Tesla has even entered the arena.

There are lots of ifs and buts attached to Tesla’s robotaxi approach. And don’t forget that Teslas using the Full-Self Driving (FSD) system—which will also underpin the robotaxis—are still crashing.

90%: Why EV Tax Credits May Be Denied For Some Buyers.

Last year, the [website] government made obtaining tax credits for EVs substantially easier. Instead of waiting until the tax season to file your returns and then redeeming the credit, the new system allows buyers to obtain the tax credits at the point of sale, reducing the upfront cost for qualifying EVs. To make that happen, the IRS set up a system.

It created an online portal where car dealers can enroll to get reimbursed by the IRS for offering rebates to clients and also to study sales. As NPR reports, some 14,000 dealers enrolled in the system and about 3,000 did not. And apparently, some dealers mistakenly believed that the old system was still in place where clients would get their tax credit later during the filing season.

It’s unclear how many buyers are affected by this. But it sounds like the new guidelines were not swiftly incorporated by some dealers. Now, several affected EV buyers are reportedly having to appeal the tax credit rejection and write letters of explanation to the IRS.

But the broader point-of-sale system seems to be a success, with more than 300,000 purchases properly reported to the IRS with billions in savings for EV buyers.

100%: Will Automakers Weather This Economic Storm?

My colleague Kevin Williams wrote in great detail yesterday about how the Trump administration’s tariffs, sweeping budget cuts, and widespread layoffs are taking a toll on everyone in America, including the auto industry.

The Silicon Valley mantra of “move fast and break things” seems to be doing more harm than good. Applying that philosophy, without any guardrails, to the largest economy in the world has already shaken consumer confidence and cast doubt on where things are headed.

Which automakers can withstand this stress test? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
