...and it would still be just as wheezy as the Celica and Matrix. Keep the compression low (as it is, relatively, at 130HP) and put a good turbo kit on it. Torque is your friend, too.

I don't know if Toyota is gambeling anything, but they sure would have my sale if i had the money!(and a license)

I havn't seen the xA model. Does anyone have a pic of it?

The top one looks like an obese Matrix, and the bottom one looks like a French policeman's hat. I wouldn't be interested in owning either of them.

The only thing I support about this whole deal is the return of 5-door hatches to America, and these things barely qualify.

Hey guys, I really hate to tell you this, but tuned it really look pretty darn good. The wheel look good as 18s because of the fact the the wheel wells are so big, the bach of it with the seats still has enough room for a good sound system, and it looks like that greddy has a turbo or something developed for it. so stop making of such a good tuner car.

It's ok. I like it better than the Element.

No, those wheels look like the 14's they are, because the wheel wells are so big. Sure, you can stuff 19's in there, but you wouldn't be able to turn well. And it's not a tuner car, it's a poser's car. You'd have to replace the engine, transmission, and driveline to get any faster than 0-60 in 8.
