yeah, I heard somewhere that the 1.8 was being looked at as a poss powerplant for the xA replacement.



Sick if that was the RS3 motor

 

Z, get to your wedding man, If I see you post anytime tonight, I'll have you dragged to the SL addict thread.

 

The dealers on this thread have already dropped hints twice that the xD will have the 2.4L in it. So its pretty much confirmed that the xD is coming with the camary/tC 2.4L. Its going to have to have some seriously tall gearing to keep the mileage up though. The 1.8L would have been a much better choice IMO.

 

*sigh*, but there was what quite possibly a better source that dropped a bunch of info and happened to let out that the 1.8L will be used.

 

the xD will have the 1.8?

 

Didn't we go over this last night?

 

i generally pay attention to the xA rumors, not the other stuff.

 

Even if all the new Scion models ( xD, xB, tC),for 08 use the 2.4L now in use in the current tC and Camry, the 1.5L will still live on in the Toyota Yaris.

 

hEY! aNOTHER mATRIX! :d

 

Who knows, maybe the 08 Yaris will also run on the 2.4L...only time will tell...

I'm about 95% sure that the xD will run on the 1.8L though from a reliable source.

 

I've seen maybe 10 xA's here in arkansas, they just don't sell here, theres one lady that shes on her 3rd xa, she can keep one about a month before she totals it, shes the main buyer of xA's around here

 

lol ^

 

I hope she invests in the side airbags!!

 

There is a thread on that Scion Party in Miami the night before HIN.

 

How old is she?

 

Kinda skews the 'Return Customer" survey, don't it?

 

Does this mean that the 13 weeks I've been waiting for my 06 BSP manual XA actually will be worth it? I only put around 3,000 miles on a year, so in 20 years when these are "collector's cars", I should only have about 60,000 miles on it. Glad I ordered the xA when I did because ultimately I want one of all of the Scion models. I'll just add the xD to the list now.

 

i just sold a 1998 civic hatch with 52k miles on it for $5500. my lease payoff (yeah, i know- never again!) on it in 2001 was $6000.

i expect to have even LESS miles on the scion in 8 years... probably 3 to 4k/yr. i should be able to get a lot of my money back if i ever decide i like the new xA/xD/ractis/whatever better. but itll have to be a LOT better.

 

her airbags never go off, and she kills these cars, not even a usable part on the entire car, the last time she crossed 4 lanes of oncoming traffic, bounced off the side of the bridge, side swiped a car, went under an 18 wheeler and wound up on the side on the other side and against the guard rail, and shes in her 30's early thirties

 

if i went on a losing streak like that, i would just give up on driving.
