Thumbs up

Also, speaking of the Ion, notice that this is the first Scion without the Ion's center-mounted-type gauge pod. I've never been a fan of that design. Unfortunately, we're starting to see that design even in more expensive vehicles...witness the Nissan Quest and the Panoz roadster.

Toyotas vvti engines are hard to turbo. But a supercharger may work if its the right price. If only they could offer that package for 13 grand.
Turbo Magazine got one of the pre production tC's and have 3 weeks to mod it. TRD is producing a supercharger already but they took it to Turbonetics and are getting a custom turbo added. Should be pretty interesting.

Saturn's only claim to fame now is the quality of the dealership service....and the Honda 3.5L V6 in the VUE.
i think it blows all the car under 22k away including my RSX. now i want that scion

I'm looking to buy one (Xb) as we speak, for my wife of course. I'm not getting rid of my GS 430. It's a sweet car.
