    It didn't kill the celica....the 7th gen killed the celica :p

    jk...since I like the 7th..but yeah..it pretty much is the 8th gen celica...it has the same engine (I'm pretty sure)

    but there are NO scion dealers in Canada for some reason... you have to get one imported or find one that has been imported....I think the Toyo dealers should just carry them ....it's dumb.

    ehhhhhhhhh....it handle awesome, Quick = NO
    180 hp mid 3X00 lb car..not quick.
    I've never driven one, i saw one run 16.2 at the .25 mile track
    My echo runs upper 15's and 1st gear traction is non-exsistant

    yea there is a SC for tc But it has minmal gains and its hella costly.

    $2400-2800 USD

    I rather like the Peugeot 206 and the new Fiat Punto. Just 2 more cars I'll probably never drive.

    206 is worthless without a turbo.

    Mazdaspeed Protege Review from SCC.
    "Because of the Mazda's massive grip, mild manners and performance potential from its turbocharged engine, this car is our new benchmark for production car front-drive performance. Thats right, it has knocked the old integra type R off the mountain.
    Fact is, the MazdaSpeed Protege is probably faster up our favorite mountain road than a Type R, which is the ultimate litmus test for usable speed. We know it's faster through the slalom. At 72 mph, it's the fastest production car we've tested. What's more, it's easily controlled."

    is it really? i always thought they were FWD. unless the old models were, which of course would be what i'm talking about.

    exotic mid-engined, rear-wheel drive Clio V6 Renault Sport- They where FWD in the 90's Then they switched to RR Wheel Drive at the turn of the century.

    Yeah, I thought that sounded weird. It's MR, actually, if you want to be picky about things.

    either way its a fast little light car :p

    they look funny tho, like they have been cut off at the back, cause its a real massive vert angle.

    I love how the Clio V6 looks. Looks like it embraces the road in a bear hug.
