Well I see from the bottom left that they haven't improved the paint!

Just got off the phone with Mr. Tada. He said the speculation makes him both laugh and feel sad at the same time. He is really starting to think Americans are too stupid to have this car in the US market.

No wonder! I tried calling Mr. Tada's office line today but his answering machine says he doesn't take calls from US lines..

It is going to weigh 2200lbs, be AWD, have hybrid 350hp engine, and they are borrowing the interior from Audi. It will also cost less money and insurance companies will pay you to drive one because it will have deflector shields and a cloaking device so cops can't see you.

All of this is for real because it came from an Australian source who has an "insider"...

Well yeah, I mean why would they expect me to pay $25k for that. It should come with carbon ceramic brakes for that kind of money.

"Audi interior?? Bah. I want the interior from my 1987 Yugo because I could hose it out to clean it"

"I hate the Scion badge!"

"My bicycle gets better gas mileage"
