I do wish we got that.

the Acura TL Type S A-Spec,

What else does it have, a special transmission? We don't want it!

the Toyota echo hatch(yaris)

The reason the US doesn't get this is because Echo sales have been plunging - down 13 percent in '01 and 27 percent for '02. Toyota attempted to give the vehicle a vague re-design for '03 but it didn't work; sales are still slow and it will more than likely be pulling out of our market before long. Sending the hatch to Canada was because Canadians are the only North Americans who might actually buy it; they don't want to waste the money on America.

Honda CR-V With leather option and body matching side panels,

So?

Honda civic SiR, u only get the Si,

Whoa! You get an extra letter!

The Chevrolet Optra and Epica, need i say more so we are a bit more lucky then you guys [/B]

Google Images returns nothing for Chevrolet Optra, Chevy Optra, Chevrolet Epica, or Chevy Epica so I'd have to venture that they don't exist - if you're referring to the Chevrolet Aveo (below) we are lucky enough to get that.

For 2004 we will also be receiving several new Chevrolets in the form of the Equinox SUV, Colorado and SSR pickups, and a re-designed Malibu sedan.

Lucky? What is it, a re-badged Daewoo?

...and a re-designed Malibu sedan.

From what I've read, it's better than the current one, but still, it won't be good competition... not to mention the ugly eyes (and the incredibly boring butt of the Maxx).

In theory.

Totally out of competition - but it'll still sell because people don't mind settling for mediocrity. I wish I had a family, then I could buy a family sedan and show all Malibu owners what I think.

(PS - Malibus are wonderful secondhand buys because of fast depreciation, particularly off rental car companies because Chevrolet never printed the word 'Malibu' anywhere on rental car editions; in fact the trunk lid says 'Classic' and nothing else - that makes them cool)

just remember this when getting your first car: DON"T BE PICK-E!! remember its your first car not your only car. trust me the'll be many more after it. im almost 18 and have had 4 cars so far. just get a nice running car. like a kia there faster then your average civic, and are half to a 1/4 of the price as one. don't think there bad just cuz of the name. i love mine. its best and fastest car ive had so far.

So basically it doesn't even have a special transmission. They're charging $2400 for some body modifications. I like it! Seriously

 

[Thlam]

no no, i'm saying that if you got a base model TL and got the aero kit that would cost 2400, but the a spec is only an extra $2000

Problem with the Yaris (we only get the hatch, although there is a Yaris Verso, which is too laughable to describe) is that although it has almost all the small-hatch plus points - small, reliable, cheap to repair, easy to park, economical, warm version - they miss the mark in one vital area...

This type of car is usually a second car in the family - small hatches make great supermarket cars because they're astonishingly efficient at town speeds (and when you pay 80p a litre - $6 a gallon - you need it). But above all they have massive boot space (trunk? Danged colonials... ) - you can throw a month's shopping in the back of my Fiesta easily. The Yaris's boot is SO small, that my underpants look capacious by comparison. So what the hell is the point of the damn thing?

The Mazda 2 is bettah...

Ohh, and I don't think we care what size underware you have.

"Bigger-than-Yaris-boot-size"...

The Mk5 Fiesta was better. Shame they decided to kill the looks, handling and everything that was good about it for the new one... Gits.
