Oooh... my bad. It was on at 8:00 PM CST tonight. I typed that message when it was on.

They didn't show too much of the xA anyways.

I saw it, not too much footage of the xA was shown, but I liked what little I did see.

Man i saw that xA in person at H.I.N in charlotte, NC and well......... It wasn't impressive at all. The graphics the put on it, weren't on it and the inside was all stock. It was lowered with rims. I've seen hotter daily drivers on here. The only thing i thought was hott were the tires cause they had a custom tread pattern cut into em. I'll post pics of it later when i get home.

You would have to see the finished product to judge. Look in the latest Scion brochure.

I don't get it. What's the point of spending so much to 'modify' this car? Why not just by a car that cost twice as much to begin with? Cheers.

The point is this- If you buy a car that cost twice as much, you still have the same car that anyone else can buy.

Modification has nothing to do with the cost of the car.

It has to do with personalizing the car, and using your skills to make the car look and perform better.

Get it, now?

Not really. Given the choice of, for example, a 525i with 40K of mods or an OEM M5, I'd take the M5 everytime. But that's me. Cheers.

the 525i with the 40k worth of mods would most likely look better and faster than the m5 if money's spent wisely, so u would have made the wrong pick everytime . put 40k on a civic and see if that m5 would'nt lose. that's modin' for ya...

Define 'lose'. You would seriously take a modded civic over an M5? An F1-derived V10 M5? Are you serious? Good luck with that.

seems as though the idea of modding is lost on you, well to each their own.
