I would cry as well only in my case, tears of joy. I could finally have the Toyota, with all the options and a bit extra from TRD, that I've wanted. To heck with the Scion strip down garbage.

See the link in my sig, the Toyota will have all those goodies that were taken out of the Scion.

I'm not asking for a turbocharger and 300hp or anything, just make it noticeably better than the stock model when you compare them.
You've never bought a TRD vehicle before, have you? My TRD Celica has a, supposedly, functional body kit and spoiler, same rims as the regular Celica GT-S (I switched to Volks on my own), interior colour inserts on the doors, seats, steering wheel, shift nob, and floor mats. Plus the TRD badge and TRD exhaust. Oh and a colour keyed manual wallet. That's it. That's how TRD does things. The Sports M Celica, I believe, was the only one to get the actual TRD performance parts, such as suspension, bars/braces, etc.
