HEY,
i have been chatting with some Uk buddies who own GT4's and they all say it is a TURD..

do we really need ANOTHER FWD TOYOTA ..

i am a GEN X (30 ) and i can remember back 10 years ago when Toyota made sports cars... they have totally forgotten about GEN X...

200HP w/ TRD S/C what a joke !!!!!

I dont know about anyone else but I like all the scions, I think the xA would look good done up. They are different for sure and I thought they were ugly at first but they have character. >>

wow- i think it looks nice- some unique features too- panorama glass roof sounds cool to me. And where is the engine from (4 cylinder highlander mabey)? A 2.4 with 159 hp and 162 lb sounds quite respectable for stock. I will have to say though from the doors back it looks kinda like a squished tiburon...

I'm in love with the front headlights, they are VERY similar to the new BMW's. As for the back-end.. faijkdnfksjnfksjdf is about all I can say. The taillights are bleh, the bumper is bleh, but I'd be willing to bet that TRD will release the initial body kit for it, and it'll make this car look pretty badass, especially with some minute fender changes.. it wouldn't be too difficult to fix this thing up. And, if the engine bay has a 2.4L engine, doesn't that mean we can fit slightly bigger/smaller engines in there as well.. 3S-GTE all over again? lol..

I Dunno. I would have to see it and drive it in person. Again though, whats with the low HP. I do like that the torque is higher which is good. But Im not sold. If this is the Celica's replacement, I'm hurt. I mean really. Other companies are making cars that have 200HP for 20K. Why the hell can't toyota get off their lazy @$$es and step up to rule the market >> .
Damn. I just want toyota to make a new engine that is worthy to say I have this engine. What happened the the developers in the late 80's and early 90's??>>

Its not fair...I guess I'll just keep hoping for an awesome celica in the future >>

2925 lbs for a manual... that is not acceptable for a toyota. Is Scion turning into a traditional domestic???

2004 celica GTS Scion TC
curb weight 2500 lbs 2925
length 170.4" 173.2"
width 68.3" 69.1
height 51.4" 55.7
wheelbase 102.3" 106.3

this can not replace the celica.( >> ) They just may stop sending it to the states. Do like the styling, here's to hoping that weight is a typo...

Wow....

Im really liking that design alot...kinda reminds me of a Audi/RSX/Tiburon of sorts. Either way, its a really fresh and clean looking car that looks like it could be alot of fun with some serious tuning potential once the aftermarket companies respond to it. Ive really began to like the whole Scion concept and I really am impressed with the whole car, it just really calls out to me and seems like what i look for in cars in a material form. I cant wait to look into one in the future because its really got me going now....i just hope that a test drive will get me going even more though.

The potential of the vehicle is there.

Engine Double overhead cam (DOHC)16-valve VVT-i 4-cylinder
Displacement 2.4 Liters
Bore x stroke
Compression ratio
Valvetrain Double overhead cam (DOHC) 16-valve with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-I)
Induction system Multi-port EFI
Ignition system Electronic with Direct Ignition (TDI)
Horsepower 159
Torque 162
Transmission
5-speed manual overdrive Standard
4-speed electronically controlled transmission (ECT) Available
Brakes Power-assisted ventilated front/rear disc with Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

I think with the right tuning it could be a fun car. If the gearing is good the car should be able to move fairly well. Hell the new Accords with the 4 cylinder engine (160 hp, 161 tq, 2.4 liter) will keep up with alot of the 6 cylinder engines out there. My sales manager has a 2003 BMW 325 and he could barely pull away form the 4 cylinder Accord. It looks pretty good but I'll wait until I see one in person before I place final judgement on it.

yeah, F heads make for lower power and lower potential and mod response.

hence the 7aFe and 5sFe

hey,
maybe this is a distraction until 06' and Toyota will have a real sports car back on the lot .. i could only hope..

any car with a FE series motor will never be a true preformance sports car..
the heads are just not tuned to all out power .. these motors are for torque loving US market and are great for powering down on- ramps or passing ..

I would have been much happier with a corolla T sport as i want a hatch for daily beater ..

i sure hope a car guy at Mr T approves a car and stops letting bean counters run company like they do at GM...
