The tC is getting a 5 year run....so, if the xB gets another 3 years, then the tC will be next.... but I doubt it will go.

So what kind of time frame are we looking at to find out more? I'm on the fence right now about buying an XA. Need to know how much the xD is going to cost.
I really want an 05 xA, I don't like the exterior changes for 06 at all.

When did you start driving a Panda, I thought you had PGP.

Just as a side note, there is an "old" xA, the '04-'05 had different head/tail lights, front/rear bumpers and sideskirts, and the sideview mirrors are also diff. on the '04-'05 has folding mirrors, and the '06 has integrated turn signals.

Good job, Very well stated, I see a small amount of xA's but a huge # of Matrix's.

The xA is my first Toyota, so count me into that +80%.

Hmm...sounds interesting considering that the xA and xB were out in japan some time before us i think that they will just bring another one of there cars that they have like a euro car and call it the xA in the U.S. such as this...

when you check out this link read what the description is about the corolla where it says "kompressor ist" it might just be the new xA not really sure what language it is so it could mean something else

I'll confirm anything written when I can.

Free translation from German as it is a Swiss original (.ch)
"The Toyota Corolla TS compressor is available with 272 HP and 262 Nm vorgefürt and from immediately."

If honda puts out a civic 2door fastback hatchback, the tC is in serious trouble. The lack of hatch is one of the main reasons I chose the tC over the civic. Sometimes I need to move big stuff.

Even though the seats are a lot less comfortable in the civic (my other problem with the honda), I would have chose it over the tC if it had a hatch, because no matter what:

40mpg>30mpg


always.

Can't wait to see some pics and specs on the car.

Let's see which auto show it will be unveiled at. Hopefully, NYC! NYC, 3 for 3!
