And as I've said before, the xD looks like a mutant toaster oven. The interior is nice, but the exterior induces a gag reflex. The tC is simply getting long in the tooth, and desperately needs a touch up, or better yet, a full redesign. When you only offer 3 models, you'd better make sure they're hits. Looks like Scions 0 for 3 this time around.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18322890749179448412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-40803934499608010862008-04-01T17:12:00.000-07:002008-04-01T17:12:00.000-07:00I have to agree.

Never liked the TC, the only one that has stayed the same.BSP_yarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704529647702810135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-48114049287871367952008-03-04T07:26:00.000-08:002008-03-04T07:26:00.000-08:00The Ist in Japan comes with either a 1.5-liter (1N...The Ist in Japan comes with either a 1.5-liter (1NZ-FE?) or a 1.8 liter, which I assume is the same engine that's in the Scion xD.Andy Lilienthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962844660116593646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-65457713674307210792008-03-04T06:35:00.000-08:002008-03-04T06:35:00.000-08:00I was surprised to see that the new ist in Japan i...I was surprised to see that the new ist in Japan is actually the same design as the xD! I'm not quite sure what engine they have in it, though.eTiMaGohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842748846319040246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-48972077101276557172008-03-04T06:27:00.000-08:002008-03-04T06:27:00.000-08:00WORD. nice write up.WORD. nice write up.xBeerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13287449278032462701noreply@blogger.com
