but all in all im glad because we dodged a BIG bullet in that they did not take away mechanical things like the standard LSD.

Dodged a bullet? They have been saying for the longest time that it would be standard with an LSD across ALL 3 models.

You people who think Scion only offers cosmetic enhancements and nothing in terms of performance for their vehicles, need to wake up.

Anyhow, I want the absolute bare minimum for this car cause I'm going to replace stuff with aftermarket that is the same cost or cheaper than factory and is 3-4x better than what factory can offer at that price.

Does anyone know why they took out that button from the Scion version? The JDM versions all had a button there (green arrow). Anyone know what that button did anyways? Is it to lower the little window that's towards the windshield ? (Not sure what it's called).

Direct Injection allows higher CR compared to MPFI, even the 2ZZ-GE with it's 11.5:1 CR was turbocharged and held up for hundreds of thousands of miles.

12.5 vs 11.5 is a huge difference man.

anyone notice if they put said anyhting about the scions weight? curious if it gained any weight coming to the states.

would you have been real surprised if they said due to increased cost, they had to leave out the LSD?

and why would you need to go aftermarket if "You people who think Scion only offers cosmetic enhancements and nothing in terms of performance for their vehicles, need to wake up."??? are you not implying that scion offers performance enhancements? and if so why are you not buying them and instead are buying aftermarket parts?

you havent driven many current cars have you?

its the side mirror adjustment control. by turning it left or right you can switch to left or right mirror. then use it as a joystick to adjust the mirror angle.

12.5 is high, but it's not impossible to use forced induction. For stock motor, it will have to be less than 8psi on a mid-sized turbo.

Looks like a "lock windows" kind of button thing.

What the heck is that? The only logical thing could be the left/right mirror selector for the mirror adjustments, but it doesn't even look like that
