And rattling dash, like the foggy tail-lamps are being drilled for causes at production line and at the suppliers manufacturing tolerances and materials.

Torsen is as far as Toyota corporate wants to take, since any stiffer will make more noises and increased tire wear more than Toyota would like as a commonly available street car (so we can just resort to 4 pinion mechanical LSD if we want more from myriads of LSD makers).
Wow, thank you soooo much! That's good info. Are you able to disclose any more info on the limited run of Scions? Is it the Release Series you are referring to? I am holding out for a 2014 model for myself but I don't have high hopes for the Release Series satisfying me as I really want it in red and without any body kits or TRD parts... Hmm.
