I was a huge Celica fan till the last generation.
Celica GT-Four is still on my bucket list and maybe a 72' to stuff a 1UZ in.

Cars you love that were ruined by its successor?
Integra (DA/DC) -> current garbage iteration. I get that the Integra was always an upbadged civic, but at least in the 90s the sheet metal was different. Its playing on nostalgia, and it is not an entry level car by any means, especially if you want a manual.
Supra (A80) -> Supra (A90/1) The JZA80 Supra is hands down my all time favorite car. I was sooooo happy to see Toyota make it, and I didn't even really mind that it was half BMW, but the fact that they've made all these "concept" parts like the targa, and the heritage taillights / headlights and won't officially launch them is annoying. It's also got a horrible interior and didn't originally have a manual. Toyota plays up the nostalgia (again like Acura / Honda), gets interest, and then sells a slightly watered down version of the car.
