The guy on the left should have done more research before having that segment. He seems to be misinformed on certain points, but its nice to hear a person from marketing talk about this issue.
Nice find.

Ihas been CLEARLY said that putting AWD on this car is IMPOSSIBLE. This engine is sitting too far back from the front axles. |

Wait for a few more months, you can pick up aftermarket bumpers for a few hundreds.

Don't often agree about Leo but he is spot on in this case. Regardless of what the tC'ers think, Scion's "Racing achievments" pale in comparison to what storied models such as the original AE86, 3 series, Celica, Quattro etc have achieved over the years. They are not looked at or taken seriously, and if they are going to push a sports car, IMO they need to be.
The guy on the left is definitely clueless though. |
