for xA sales, and that was the year I considered buying one. I still like the styling of the "old-school" xA. The car says "let's play" to me.

But for me it was way better looking than the old xB. And everything is better looking than the new xB. well maybe not a Honda Element.

...the rumor about the RWD coup coming as the new tC seems to be...a bigger rumor now. new tC from Subaru Note also the reference to the iQ, which also has been rumored.

Replying to: boaz47 (Nov 11, 2008 4:38 pm) Would they wish for a powered-up version of Toyota's new Valvematic 2.0? Well, they can go on wishing, because the only reason Toyota even took this on was because it could be done cheaply. And given the really awful way sales and the economy have gone, we can be thankful to that fact as the only reason this project is still in the works.
