ANYTHING can be turned into a race car pending that you have LOTS of $$ to spend. But as of now, you can get a BLITZ supercharger and beat down Civics, Corollas, Proteges, etc........
i dont understand why the scion is becoming more popular in the modifying industry. its a freakin box...... looks like a Van/station wagon hybrid. i already saw like 3 of them with big rims around my area... they look rediculous

I know those three Scions are going to make a huge dent in the import industry. Esp. when the perfomance model comes out.
It's going to be the alternative to the Tiburon and more expensive RSX. While the other two cars are great first time cars....
The Tc will get my respect and it's got a great engine but other two are more show than go (especially the brick)

The Scions are making lotsa commotion because they're so different. This is the first van in a while that hasn't looked like a van. and it certainly looks better than the Honda Elements (even though those aren't vans)

I do believe some company is working on putting a celica gt-s engine into the xB. If they get it right they are gonna sell the mounts and everything required to do so.

the tC can most definitely become a race car. The xA and xB are pure show cars with a little extra umph with the supercharger.

xB is $3320 less than Civic...
xB has a 22.45 HP/W ratio, Civic has 20.56

I think the xB looks cool, I'll take the xB plus the extra $3320 to supercharge it and get some extra mods.....

Scion vehicles will be sold through select, existing Toyota stores, though the feeling will be more of a "dual dealer" situation, with clearly dedicated space and specially trained staff for Scion dealers. It is not our intention to create a completely stand alone operation like Lexus at launch.

The scion TC (which is out in july in cali) is perdicted to have 180 hp stock and all of the scion I have seen have superchargers out for them. With TRD and the aftermarket well in alliance with them there might be some impressive things to see in the future.

they are SLOW as ****, trust me; my mother has one.
However, they are definately cool, but the chassis they have, and the engines potential limit them from being a serious tuner car.

The tC looks like it might be a great car! Supercharge it and mmmmmmm it's gonna be nice. The interiors of these cars look really great too.

Rep Power: 318 jeez guys they are good cars. Anything can be made to look good and go fast for the right amount of cash. i would never trade my civic in for one. Heck I was debating a turbo or srt-4. I choose a turbo because my car is unique and fits my style plus it wount be much slower. Also mine will be a turbo auto srt-4 arent auto

The power to weight and torque to weight ratio is better than a Civic EX....
I think it's great because a kid who needs a reliable car can get one that doesn't look like a Hyundai accent for cheap....

Rep Power: 0 You know what's wierd is the xA and xB are rear steering and the tC is front and rear steering, or atleast that's what the brocure said.
I also don't like the bullshit marketting they keep throwing out there, everyone is an individual, bla bla bla. Shut up and just sell the car!

I would like to use you as an example....don't want me too?.....TOO BAD. Read posts before you make STUPID ONES, any one that can put two and two together could surmise the info I just gave you. They are SLOW AS ****, power to weight aside, its not as fast as mine, I know this because I DRIVE BOTH REGULARLY!
Please read people, weve all been through basic level education, I know we all can on here.
Also, Rear steering? youve done smoked yourself retarded dude, PUT THE PIPE DOWN!
