Ahhh! im not sure what i want
I WAY rather have a 2.4 liter than a 1.4
and i WAY rather have 180 hp then 108 hp
So performance wise the tC is way better,
but the looks of the xB are way better than the tC
so i can't make a disission :?

Too bad the box wasn't on the TC platform than it would be the best of both worlds!

hey hey hey....what about the xA? everyones pro box (xB even has a nickname already) or pro tc. i have to throw a vote towards my xA....don't flame me, but imo i think that between the xA and xB (they are more comparable) that the xA has more potential to be fixed up. it's hard to touch the box and not change what it looks like.......


woohoo xA.

Don't get me wrong the xA is sweet also, its a personal thing. For instance if the Box didn't exist (god forbid) I would have gotten the xA over the echo any day, but the BOX will always look different no matter how many mods you do

I was also initially attracted to the coupe and got on the waiting list. I just happened to be by that Toyota dealer, test drove the Xb and 30 min later, owned my first new car. Its a feeling. If the coup gives you that feeling, go for it! For me, its all about the box. Just put my Konig heliums on this weekend and am loving the (11 lb.) lightness. And, btw, I credit getting my new girlfriend to the box. It really is a chick magnet.

Hey now! My xA is definitely a chick magnet! I have had no fewer than 15 women this week ask me about my car while drooling and absolutely wetting their pants over it! The only hitch was when the director of the Majestic Manor Retirement Home came out and told the ladies to get back inside the house...it was their med time.

Seriously, I have had more comments (positive) about this car then I ever did with my WRX. People (and young women) LOVE it..

I got stopped in the middle of a suburbia 4-way stop by a camry with four 20-something chicks in it asking about my box! Never happened with the Civic... Get the BOX! :twisted: J/K Hopefully you'll just know which to get. Good luck!

ya, aout the power wise, i heard that automatic and manual make the speed really different...like night and day... does the manual really seem much faster? , plus the xb, lowered, tints, and a nice set of 18 inch rims make it a really nice cruiser

I don't think the tC just looks like another coupe as everyone says. The reason why I got one was because it was a bang for your buck. Plus, it looks very sleek and classy for the price compared to those in the price range (ie civic, corolla, tiburon, mazda3). Someone mentioned it looks just like a civic. You guys are out of your mind! Don't insult my tC! :? I've always compared it to the BMW, Audi, Volvo, Tiburon, etc. but a civic??? Please! and what car doesn't like look like any other car out there now a days??? The only way you could ever get away from the pack is to buy a ferarri, nsx, or lambo. Otherwise your xB looks like an element, your mazda3 looks like an sI, yada yada yada.
