So, the Blade has been on sale for some time now, being basically a 2AZ powered corolla 5 door hatch... Well, as of today, it just got much more raw with the introduction of the 2GR-FE powered model. true, it's only linked to a 6 speed auto, but it makes about 276 HP, and this same motor powers Lexus RX350's (its a corolla hatch, remember)! Talk about a sleeper
 PS- this car is rumored to be the Matrix replacement here in the US (without the 2GR i'm sure  ...)  -------------------- Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06
Car #2: 95 Celica GT- purchased 8/03, current daily driver Car #1: 01 Focus ZX3- purchased 5/01, sold 8/03 |

The tail lights look like they are from an RX350, the headlights look like they are from an Infinity M45, and the grill looks the same as an IS250/350 grill. But.....i like it
