I guess that means I've left to cover...Kia and Hyundai? Quite possibly the only companies that have gone BACKWARD in the horsepower war...

I think an xA with a turbo kit would be a fun little commuter car with some cojones to surprise the hell out of people driving "performance" vehicles. If I had one I would rev at every single Honda with any sort of visible mods that I pulled up next to.

It would go something like this:

Fatbooty rolls down his window to talk to the Honda driver and says,

"Hey, whatcha got under the hood there?"

The Honda driver thinking his car to be far superior to the little Scion, boasts about the boltons he has on his little SOHC.

"I got me i/h/e, pullies, plug wires, a V-AFC, blah blah blah." :chuckles:

"No engine swap?" :dunno:

"I gots like 25 extra hp from my mods y0!"

"Let's run. I'll give you two cars." :naughty:

"You got a buncha nawzzzz in there or somethin?" :gives:

"Nah man, all throttle no bottle here dude."

"Come on man what you got in there?" :thinking:

"I'll let you know later, let's run." :grinpimp:

"Ok, I'm down." :squint:

At this point, Fatbooty smokes the hell out of the little SOHC. The ricer pulls a flyby and speeds off.

I agree, i think it is ugly, and very very boring. It is just a box, thats it, no styling cues at all, just a box......reminds me of a mini Chevy Astro! Blah.....

I like both XB and Element. And the Astro Van too. I guess you can put me on your ignore list.
