~The website colors clash. I suggest going with a preset theme or simpling down on the colors. One or two will do you if you're not the best at matching.

~I'm not a fan of how your forum topics are listed. If I create a new topic, does it create a new little box? Then you have what? More forum topics or something to the right? What is that over there? Either lose it or describe it or something.

To put it in a nutshell... the very first things I would work on is getting a different layout/theme and losing all the distracting information on that first page. No shout out boxes, arcade mentions... it's all very confusing and hard to look at.

Take this page... http://www.toyotacrazy.com/scion_crazy-b7.0/

I see eight different colors on it. I know it's hard to pick colors for each tiny detail of a forum and have them match. And the more you tweek them, sometimes the more out of control they get.

Check out your forum's help files for a preset theme thing. You might have to read up on how to insert the code... but it's not too hard to learn.

Thanks Jenna, appreciate the deep look , yes the theme is changed. to red/wite but I still need some tweeking of css (cascading style sheet)

I do see your point of front page, reason I put that on front page for now is so Search Engines can pickup few keywords that will go away soon , and I admit it does hurt my site, especialy for somebody that is non english writer as I am

Again appreciate that! I will do my best in few days

^ A couple suggestions: That whole random capitalization of letters annoys the hell out of me.
Also, the dating on your posts is not right. According to your site, the 2008 xD was unveiled today... things like that make it seem like you get your news three months late and makes you less reliable.
Also, when you say things like "Video of the xD’s introduction and the car in the round can be found after the jump. There needs to be a jump. The post just ends.
Your first post reads like an ad for carsponsorships.com, not good. Unless they are paying you for advertising, I wouldn't do it.
Anyway, those are just my opinions.
