from what I understand, the body kit may be available throught your dealership as soon as the cars show up. This option is thought the Optimize Site, that you may have already heard of.

I guess it is time to set up the waiting list at Maita.

With that said, look for it towards the end of august. That is what they were saying at the Chicago unveiling...

you people have to realize that this is about $4000 in mods... hardly cheap at all.

It does look better with mods but I think that the xD cuold have been really nice if it had a better design. I think the back should have dropped straight down in the back and the front is a little off still.

Oh well, what a waste of time waiting for these pics. Scion ruined the xB and the xD is a second gen xA. Boo...

OK when I saw the stock photos yesterday, I was like "ughhh." But now . . . HOLY CRAP!!! I think it looks better than the xB!! It reminds me of the Suzuki Swift Sport that we don't get in the states. Know what sucks - after seeing the pics yesterday I said to myself, "Well, I guess I'm keeping the tC for sure." Now I'm not so sure. Let's see what a test drive and trade-in value can do to change my mind.

Still too tall. . . look at how there's no wheel gap at all. . . the suspension travel has to be majorly cut down. . . and the lip kit helps to visually lower the car. But considering how much lower it is (than stock), it's hardly low if you take into consideration that it's modified. The height that it sits at with the mods is where it should be stock. Whereas the xA/xB with a modest drop will be LOW in comparison.

It looks terrible stock. Kind of like the xA.

Looks like the xA and the Matrix got drunk and made some bad mistakes. Terrible mistakes.

the back end looks retarded
it might be tolerable if it wasnt for that weird sharp edge where the roofline meets the rear hatch.
