On a truck as I type...
 

2016 Electric Blue Scion iM 6 speed on it's way.

This will be my second brand new Scion I have owned (previously drove a 1st gen XB from 2005-2009). I hope this car treats me as well as the first did.

Am I excited about the iM... YES. Do I expect it to be a racecar... NO. I expect 37 mpg out of a car that should be a little more fun and peppy to drive than the Civics and Integras of the late 90's, with all the amenities of a modern car, and stylish looks. It's a Corolla hatchback with a body kit, and I'm stoked about it.

On the mod list so far:
-Window tint (appointment will be scheduled same day as the car is picked up)
-Subwoofer and amp install (sitting on my living room floor - write up coming)
-HPS ram air intake (through pictures online I have determined the existing short ram for the 1.8L Valvematic Corollas will fit with minimal modifications, it's ordered and will be getting installed the day I get the car, write up to follow)
- Lowering springs (This is a bitter point for me... I want the TRD springs but also don't want to wait... they are not available yet (as of 31AUG 15 on the Scion web site, I am in talks with H&R, and Eibach to see if any of their existing springs for the Toyota Auris in the European market will be compatible).

I hope there are some other car guys out there like myself just as excited a I am to get their new iM. I look forward to getting a few modifications done and showing it off at some local car shows before the end of the season. Attachment 22754

You got the 6 speed manual, very impressed so far!

That's evil posting a picture of them on a truck... I am still waiting on delivery. I'm told I'll have it before the weekend. Two local dealers have theirs, but not the dealer I ordered mine from. I'm being told the truck broke down... whatever. I am anxious to say the least. None of the other local dealers have a blue one or I'd be knocking on their door.

Woo Hoo! picked it up this morning. Getting the windows tinted now and installing the lowering springs Friday after work... I'll take some before / after pics ...

Congrats on the iM! love the color!

Gulp....$20k for this? Far better options IMHO. For that money you could get a demo/12mo old GTI and have 4x the fun (and quality).
