This is from clubsciontc-

"When the Toyota FT-86 concept was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, we were surprised and delighted at the prospect of an attractive, rear-wheel-drive 2+2 with a $20,000 price tag. Could we just as excited for a $25,000 RWD Scion? We may not have a choice.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Toyota management told dealers in Las Vegas there will be a production version of the FT-86 badged as a Scion model. The move would help bolster the struggling brand, which has been a bit product-starved of late. There are also rumors of a new price point – as high as $25,000 – and the possibility that the Subaru version will only be available in Europe.

While the report claims the FT-86 will be badged as a Scion, there is no definitive word there won't be a Toyota variant as well. We're sure to learn more this auto show season, as reports show that the production FT-86 could arrive at the New York Auto Show in 2011."

So far I am yet to see a bracket for hybrids that fall in, let's say, between civc si and wrx territory.....it's either $20-$30k and very boring and slow or it's the opposite end of the spectrum of cars that are not affordable for the average person but have high performance...

Hope that my ramble make sense lol

Come back when they're beating the R15 TDI in Le Mans. I won't wait for you, because you won't come back. They wouldn't even be able to complete 1 lap, the batteries will run out .
How is the 16 years relevant?
It's here now.
It took humans thousands of years to create the internal combustion engined car.
Also, why would having more than one guy running quarter 10s be relevant? His car is doing it. That's the point. They're already trying to beat it. http://www.nedra.com/
As far as the Le Mans, sure, I'll come back very soon and talk about the electrics that are running there and competing with diesels. Electrics are already running at Isle of Man. They're very close to the heels of the engine bikes.

Yea the jetta is! LOL
And classic looks of the ML? Really? Whats classic about it. Its not stylish at all IMO. The Kia Sorento is much better looking!
Enclave? Wow a rebadged Acadia! Defintely nothing impressive on looks there either! You should just buy all xb1's. Much better looking than any of these!

The Sorrento? oh now I know you have lost it....I would have been ok with your points until then...
The Enclave.....re-badged Acadia ummm because they share a platform? alrighty based on that logic your wife drives a re-badged Camry

How is the tC a rebadged Camry? They share an engine! What else very little if anything? Its a Avensis platform so your logic is faulty! And a truck isnt supposed to be a hottie. But it sure looks good. It looks like a truck and it is the best truck out there. And i havent lost it cause the ML looks so bland. yea i guess its a classic look. A classic bland 1980's look!

The F150 is the ugliest truck in production...I ran away screaming and bought a real truck the GMC based on your taste I get why you like it
Avensis , camry with the new toyota what does it matter.....
BTW down the road the Ml will always be desirable unlike the other vehicles you mentioned own and like....usually I hear this type of stuff from people who could afford a ford.......
