stock at 160 HP with many options to get it to 200 no problem. i really like this car. it's got a panorama sunroof (like, the whole roof is a sunroof (or is it a moonroof? i dunno tongue.gif )).

i like Scion a lot. very different and trying lots of things. good job toyota 8)

I am digging it too. I picked up a pamphlet today. I may go test drive one on Thursday when it comes in.

Default Round 2 Scion Roadtrip!

the statement about hyundai being in trouble is partly true. think about it. Toyota is a name in the auto world known for probably the best engines out there. how many 84 Corollas do you still see on the road?? a hell of a lot more than Stellar's.

What hyundai should possibly do is do what Toyota is doing, and have options to "customize your ride to your style" like Scion is doing. This way, you can turbocharge your car, but not lose your warranty.

in all honesty, if the Scion was out this time last year (when i bought my RD2), i would have opted for the xB. I love the Tib, but there's somethin about Scion that just grabs you in.

I love those xB's.

If I didn't want to own my car I'd get one.
