Are they supposed to come out in March in Australia? The date for the US is supposed to be in May I thought?

or b) looking at their phone to send texts, not watching the road, swerving into the other lane, not able to react

That's a pretty defeatist attitude. "They're gonna do it anyway so let's make it easier for them". Whether they're looking at their phone to do it, or fiddling with the nav system to do it doesn't really make a difference.

The last girl I dated posted everything we did and everywhere we went on Facebook. I could withstand the insanity of it for two weeks because she was hot.

mornin all....cant wait to see what Scion has to say today. Im pretty pumped! even though im in so much pain from snowboarding last night (i had a bad wipeout).

I see some people also think that the car under the tarp is the test car spied from Laguna. The thing that is driving me nuts is WHATS UNDER THE HOOD! We know its turbo, but i just want to see how they mounted, how they plumbed, how they fit FI components in a small bay. I hope we get a peek.

Do you think it will even use the same engine as the FR-S?

This. Just remember the population they are marketing to. Question answered.

They insist that they need to get their messages out prompto, no matter whatever you are doing at the moment.

And they also insist that they can do that safely.

How is the A4 convertible safer than other cars? what other cars?

Does anyone know where to watch the press conference live online?

honestly it could go either way, FA20 NA-T or EJ207. I just want to see their solution physically.

I really again fall on to the category of " Stuff I have to Pay for but never Use" doesn't bother me too much at least for now I wait for the revealing so that we know totally what to go on. Is there a price announchment too or is that something around April?

Yes, please. Push Start? Awww yeah! Navigation? I could use that. Nicer interior? Why not? Twitter and Facebook? Who the fuck cares.

Did you miss the Navi sys in the FR-S?

I'm thinking its the new factory sponsored drift car for the '12 season.

You're kidding right. It's a great looking, small car that gets terrific gas mileage. I expect tons of women (and a few not-so-straight men) to buy the Automatic version of this car. They love to text, tweet, and facebook: Anything that lets them spam their view of the universe to everyone in it!
