They got some things right. Projectors, interior, better engine...

The styling sucks, but who knows, with a bodykit, it may be alright.

Yeah, if you want a automatic you can probably still buy one here. See, maybe in texas where everyone's driving their trucks to go vote for another Bush in office, there are some available. But here in the educated states, they're simply not available(minus a 2+ month wait, that's over now anyway).

WOW...thanks for the Blow against Texas....you talk about living in a Educated State and yet you make an ignorant remark like that.

from Arlington, Texas myself, lived there 16 years. went to Mansfield High, if you know where that is. Believe me, I know plenty about texas.

Seattledave, I lived in Austin, TX, but I've been Washington State for over 44 years. Now I live a stones throw from Puget Sound, and there are far more idots here than in Austin, TX. So why do I still live in Western Washington? My wife and I have a grand daughter here. Nuff said.

For what it's worth, there are some people that like the updates. Honestly, it's probably the same as before. Scions are love it or hate it cars. Specifically xB's and xA's (and xD's)

You are exactly right. Scion as a brand is polarizing.

Austin is an educated, and would be a cool place to live for people. Probably the only city in the entire state of texas that votes democrat and isn't filled to the brim with super-walmart size churches.

Washington State is considered the smartest state in the nation (% of those who hold a B.A. or better, and usually % of high school grads).

Texas half the time ties alabama/oklahoma/lousiana for last in the nation on both.

Look at the states that always vote republican in the big elections...
southern, lowest educated(at least in schools), evangelical

Look at the states that always vote democrat...
northern, highest educated(at least in schools), high % of agnostic/atheist

bad coincidence, but true.

This becoming political and WAY OFF TOPIC..

seattledave I am in the same boat as you were current texas resident trying desperately to get to the seattle area.

But there are idiots in both places and statistics are just that they can be influence to any bias you wish.

If you want to do something instead of getting on your soapbox here about red states/blue states go into bellevue and mercer island and convince them to vote democrat.

bellevue you could, mercer island no. IMO, the only non-religious based/biased reason to vote republican is cuz you make 6+ figures a year. there's barely any sub-million dollar homes in mercer island.

And I live in California where we usually vote blue, yet have some of the worse public schools in the nation!
