why is scionlife selling it's adspace to the likes of ford . yuck

George

Ford was mentioned in the thread so the ad parser called up a Ford ad. Nothing to do with ScionLife.

If you used Firefox with Adblock and you wouldn't have noticed it at all!

hotbox05

i use firefox just don't use any ad blocking apps . odd .

George

Take 10 minutes, add the Adblock plugin and subscribe to EzElement+EzList, and ads are history! I hate it when I have to use a browser that doesn't have these.

Looks like the Soul is doing OK:

Ya know i wasnt really liking these but then i saw 2 in downtown San Diego and they arent to bad up close. Now would i buy one "No" but for what they are not bad. They are very quirky like the first gen xb and will prolly reach to the simliar crowd that enjoyed the first gen so much.

Drove the Soul and it it nice...a bit slower but handled and drove well closest thing to my xb1 so far...I am prolly getting this next

I've only seen the Soul once and it was the exact red that they show in the commercials. Hamsters FTW!!!! ahahahaha. i want to see how they drive haha

George

Slower than an xB1?! Which model did you drive, the 1.6 or the 2.0?

I dislike the way the models run on the Soul. To get the 2.0 you also have to buy the alloys and the larger tires. I'd like the power without the thumpin' ride of the rubber-band tires, thanks.

Ah, well, someone will probably make a swap plus a few bucks for their steelies.

I don't trust a car maker that lets Hamsters drive their cars!
Would you buy a car from a Hamster? I hope not. Haha

hotbox05

saw one in person the other day and man such bad design cues and oddly placed lines . looks way too heavy . bad choices . and the ugly rear raked beltline yuck

Sciond

Drove the sport(2,0) in auto...and compared to my manual xb1 i was slower off the line... it may be better in a manual but my wife will not let me get manual again since she can't drive it

Sciond

all I heard when I got my XB was man that thing is ugly.....PERFECT!

George

Umm, she could learn. Tell her she can have the $1000 that you would have spent for the automatic to blow on hats or something.

My wife didn't even consider the auto! I checked the specifications _before_ I signed the paperwork!

Sciond

she was supposed to learn on the XB I am working on the cost angle.LOL Especially since I do 25,000 mile per year

The 2.0 gas mileage isn't as great as I'd hope it to be. However, it's got quite a bit more horsepower than an xB1.

George

According to the EPA the 1.6 gets 26/31 while the 2.0 gets 24/30. While the EPA numbers don't reflect reality they are good for comparisons. It doesn't seem that the 2.0 kills mileage all that badly.

The xB1 gets 26/31 (new style test), the same as the 1.6 Soul, which is surprising considering the extra 100cc and more weight.

I think that most folks will opt for the 2.0, particularly since you have to get it to get a lot of the other desirable features.

Now if Kia would get off the stick and market the Soul Hybrid they could leapfrog both Toyota and Nissan!

ii like the commercial.. maybe kinda better if the soul was blue or white and it had penguins haha. but i dont think it will keep up with the xb. the cube has a chance though lol

Metro273

I finally saw a Soul the other day! It was a cool-looking green color but the car itself is still ugly! I hate the roof slant to the rear of the car.

I'll settle for a Cube with the Ginormous Package on it!...

xD_kidd91

i happen to see the cube in black in person today from enterprise and all I can say is that im impressed! cube>soul
