HEY,
i have been chatting with some Uk buddies who own GT4's and they all say it is a TURD.. do we really need ANOTHER FWD TOYOTA .. i am a GEN X (30 ) and i can remember back 10 years ago when Toyota made sports cars... they have totally forgotten about GEN X... 200HP w/ TRD S/C what a joke !!!!! |

I dont know about anyone else but I like all the scions, I think the xA would look good done up. They are different for sure and I thought they were ugly at first but they have character.

wow- i think it looks nice- some unique features too- panorama glass roof sounds cool to me. And where is the engine from (4 cylinder highlander mabey)? A 2.4 with 159 hp and 162 lb sounds quite respectable for stock. I will have to say though from the doors back it looks kinda like a squished tiburon...

ya i noticed that, especially the tail lights, but oh well, still looks better, but I just noticed vvti":/ still be nice with a turbo or that trd sc, but it probably runs the same price as the one for the celica/matrix. This post has been edited by Uppitycracker: Jan 5, 2004 - 2:40 PM |

I'm in love with the front headlights, they are VERY similar to the new BMW's. As for the back-end.. faijkdnfksjnfksjdf is about all I can say. The taillights are bleh, the bumper is bleh, but I'd be willing to bet that TRD will release the initial body kit for it, and it'll make this car look pretty badass, especially with some minute fender changes.. it wouldn't be too difficult to fix this thing up. And, if the engine bay has a 2.4L engine, doesn't that mean we can fit slightly bigger/smaller engines in there as well.. 3S-GTE all over again? lol..

I Dunno. I would have to see it and drive it in person. Again though, whats with the low HP. I do like that the torque is higher which is good. But Im not sold. If this is the Celica's replacement, I'm hurt. I mean really. Other companies are making cars that have 200HP for 20K. Why the hell can't toyota get off their lazy @$$es and step up to rule the market
 . Damn. I just want toyota to make a new engine that is worthy to say I have this engine. What happened the the developers in the late 80's and early 90's??  Its not fair...I guess I'll just keep hoping for an awesome celica in the future

2925 lbs for a manual... that is not acceptable for a toyota. Is Scion turning into a traditional domestic???
2004 celica GTS Scion TC curb weight 2500 lbs 2925 length 170.4" 173.2" width 68.3" 69.1 height 51.4" 55.7 wheelbase 102.3" 106.3 this can not replace the celica.(  ) They just may stop sending it to the states. Do like the styling, here's to hoping that weight is a typo...

Wow....
Im really liking that design alot...kinda reminds me of a Audi/RSX/Tiburon of sorts. Either way, its a really fresh and clean looking car that looks like it could be alot of fun with some serious tuning potential once the aftermarket companies respond to it. Ive really began to like the whole Scion concept and I really am impressed with the whole car, it just really calls out to me and seems like what i look for in cars in a material form. I cant wait to look into one in the future because its really got me going now....i just hope that a test drive will get me going even more though. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

I highly doubt it's the Celica replacement. It's not a sports car with that engine and weight. IMO... it's a sporty sedan... like the Civic coupes. Weight probably isn't a typo. That engine is pretty big... and with those torque figures, weight isn't an issue for the manufactures. Still, I hope Toyota does produce a Scion with a *real* performance oriented powerplant... and not those 'fe' chuggers. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
