Everyone just admit it. The inline 4 rwd scene is over, and it will more than likely never come back. Hold on to your S chassis, miatas and hachi's and just accept it.

The only RWD cars coming out from now on will probably be V6/V8. Nissans only producing V6's, the Supra is rumored to be a V8, blah blah blah.

Car companies piss me off.

I don't know why they would since the current gen. Celica's having been selling like crazy. I guess we won't know till late 04.


Thats the car, although it will go under changes, like 2 door coupe form me thinks (look at pic I posted). Its going to be renamed xC under the Scion range.

Scion, as in the offshoot division of Toyota that "markets towards teenagers" that created the masterful xA and xB?



I wouldnt buy anything off of them. I was at the Charlotte International Auto Show (it sucked) and Scion was there, with that car pictured above's rear hatch open blasting some very bad excuse for hip-hop and had a white guy coming up to me saying "Yo, have you peeped the new Scion yet?"

Yes, it's too bad that murder is illegal.

C'mon, you know better than that. The EVO's been around since the beginning of the 90's. The cheapest and lamest car just happened to come to the US before the awesome one. The craptacular Lancer of present didn't exist before the Evolution, though another version of it did. But that was much better than the crap on the American streets today.

yep, the older lancers were based on the mirage platform, which IMO is a WAY better looking car.
