i used my miraculous powers of photoshop (gimp actually) to seamlessly bring everyone in perfectly for the group photo!

oh and if anyone was wondering why simon cowell is there it's because he decided to show up at the show and instantly fell in love with MF_DEUCE upon laying eyes on him. it was pretty awkward and he wouldn't stop winking at him. stalked us the rest of the show. (and yes he really is that short)

That sounds like the setup for an American made, anime based, live action movie. Musta been fun! Except for the part about Simon Cowell, gosh is he creepy looking. O.o

The car is not tall at all.

Height wise it might be 5'3-5'5.

I went and stood next to the spokeslady and she wasn't that much taller than I am. Still tall but not ginormous. lol

He's actually a nice person and a big car enthusiast. He might like luxory more than sport, but cars come in different shapes and forms, just like fans. lol

What happened to "under 50-in. in height"? Is that just the Scion version?

Giccin, are you talking about the height of the spokewomen (or yourself) or the height of the car? If 5'3 - 5'5 is the height of the car, that means the car is pretty much at the same height as you are...

If the car is five feet then the spokeswoman must be about seven feet.

And no one has the picture for the scion girl? For the poor souls who cannot be there in person?

Seriously the car should not be higher than 5 feet (60 inches or 150 cm). I thought it was determined to be at around 50 inches. For those who have seen it in person, did you discount the height of the platform when you said it is > 5 feet?

I didnt get a close up, but have some of the Scion area. So she may possibly be in there.

Honestly, thats the one thing i wanted to do but completely forgot. I may go again with my dad tomorrow so ill try to remember to measure it. lol
