lol, it seems like everyone went to the chicago autoshow today I went and saw the RS 5.0 nothing special. However the BBKs do look nice, too bad they dont come with the car. Other than that, I saw Team Echos Wide body tC :D looked better in person. And I won free hats and other goodies the man introducing the RS 5.0 was asking simple questions like, "can anyone name the three current selection of scion cars?" One guy said xA, xB, tC...then the presenter said NO! you are wrong..so I laughed and said xD and he said YOUR correct! So I got a hat and then I flashed him my scion key and he responded with laughter and said "oh thats how he knew."

As much as I wanna hate this, the gloss black DOES look good on it ... I just wish it were more ... awesome? Haha.

All of this goes together with the normal outlay of the scionl limited edition models. I like it. If it wasnt for my limited slip in mine .... I would get a new tc

they're pushed out a bit more so the tc doesn't look as much like a hovercraft from the front or back. i mean they're not flush, but in the right direction..

Common sense kicking in.

Scion is targeted at the sub 20K price range, with a few exceptions, and NOTHING touches it for bang for the buck value.

Put tons of cash down on your Hunny so, when the whole Toyota/Subie thing begins to bear fruit, you'll be able to recover from your "excursion".

And drive safe!!

Typical ignorant guy who judges based on brand names. The new Genesis coupe has tons of potential. A 4 banger turbo or a V6? RWD? Nuff said.

Not to mention a 100k mile warranty. And don't forget the 2.0 powerplant is the 4B11T which is in the car that directly rivals the STI. So when, rather if, the Toyobaru is released, I'm sure it won't outperform the Genesis unless it's significantly lighter.

I wonder if the Genesis would have so much hype around it if it were say a Kia or Daewoo

i really want one, but it's also nice not having a car payment. i'll be sweating this one until they're all gone.

Right. I think it degrades if you trade or sell the car.

Hey.. not really meaning to bag on someone's choice of car. It's just not a Toyota-built product.

If has the looks and the fit and finish looks great too. Lot's of buzz around it, they're driving a Hynudai on 24 and Fringe...

I just havent seen too many Hyundai or Kia trade-ins with high miles on them that I thought I'd care to get in an drive.

and now.... back to our regularly scheduled program.

Well since this is supposed to be about the RS tC 5.0, I'd rather read about that instead of the
specs of the Genesis Coupe. (And the chubby you have for it.) Why don't you go to the "all other
vehicles" forum and start a thread on your (w*t) dream car and GTFO.
