The EP3 was British designed. The first non Japanese designed Honda I believe. So it didn't really come out of Japan. And if you look at the Golf V concept... its pretty similar. Bubble and box cars seem to be the trend.

A thing about Scions that i like is that you can get it modded from the dealership. They offer lowering springs, wheels, aem cold air intakes, and such.

I kind of like them too. Too bad they only come with a 105hp engine. But they can be made into really nice show cars with lots of audio!!

After seeing Motegi's xB this weekend at HIN in Dallas, I would love to have one. But like robbclark1 said, they seem to be nothing but great show cars, but that's ok.

I kind of like the Xb. Looks awesome to me. And it is affordable. The Xa would have to grow on me. Still, I wouldn't mind having one. Even though they have less hp than our cars.

They weight a bit less or equal to our cars and they already have tubo kits available for them.

GReddy has one for like $2,600 with a 30% increase.
Garret has one for about the same as the GReddy and has a 40% increase.

The reason that have turbo kits, the engine is used in other toyota cars, so they probably already have been working on the parts for those engines.

I'd rather have a hummer with a civic engine than an xA or xB with a Viper V10 in there :

There's no way that a Scion can have 20" rims, if that what you meant. Probably like 16 or 17 would be the max.

The scion xA looks okay, I hate the xB. It's not going to grow on me, cus' I've seen it on the road for quite awhile.
