I prefer the scion front bumper to the suby, but would get the suby over the scion because of the interior upgrades available.

Either way, they are just a little too whimpy for my tastes and I felt it would be a downgrade from my S2000 (god I wish Honda still made them, best car I've ever owned hands down!!!!)

how was the head room sitting in the driver seat? would you destroy C1 vertibrae if you ran over a twig or a pebble? because looking at that roof line next to the prius makes me think there is no way to vertically spread a spine in there unless your tailbone had ball bearings on it and there was a hole cut in the floor for your a$$ to drag the pavement!

Its a great looking car with awesome chassis and performance features but lacks about 75hp and 100lbs of torque for me to even consider it for any true sporting intentions. This car needs a turbo and a bbk. That being said. That would add about 220lbs to its 2800lbs.

If they found a way to keep it @ 2900lb max and have a turbo 275hp/280lbs tq? This car would be speaking volumes to the masses. Keep the price @ 33k max. And this car would rule

I would probably buy the Toyota over the Subaru, unless there were significant performance reasons.

I want to go check out the Scion one of these days. I'd also be fine with cheap cloth seats.
