So is there any other cars that debut in chicago or is scion the only one that had something new. My wife is going to be looking for a new car soon and we are definitely not getting the xd or xb2. We are leaning on getting a civic now but not sure if theres anything else out there thats new.

 

There is lots of coverage on the show. Some concepts and some new models shown.

what other companies are you looking into?

 

gti, R32(if you got the money), civic si, civic R

the new corolla should be out soon i think. maybe a saturn?

 

anything thats import. well, not just any import i guess. Toyota, nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi and maybe Mazda.

 

My father has a new Civic couple. I drove it for the last couple months and its a great car! I would have probably bought the civic also but decided I didn't want to spend 4-5K over the cost of a new XA when the XA does all I need it to do. The civic has a lot more power and gets a little better milage than the XA. I really like the two level instrument panel with the digital speedo in the new civics, but that said I also like the center cluster in the XA. Both setups are nice since I don't have to look through the wheel to see the speedo and I can hold my hand on top of the wheel without blocking the gauges.

I'm sure you would be happy with the civic if you want to spend the extra money. The 06 XA is a great car also!

New XD and XB2

The G8. Technically it's an import since it is actually a Holden from Australia.
