[yrsdrgn]

[mutatio]

if the mileage is there, me and the wife will be looking hard at one of these. in the next couple years. :D

[501]

looks a lot like the nissan versa:iono:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

everything's cool except the taillights, which reminds me of a Lincoln for some reason. and it'll look a little weird without the ground effects.

[marcus]

well i think its alot better than matrix... hope this comes out soon..

[stuffy]

looks a lot like the nissan versa

agreed, the blade has nissan headlamps.

[Speedz]

Oh taillights are all leds...

[Razr]

The rear end looks a bit like a rappers GF though no? :wink:

[ECHOKnight2000]

I don't know if this is true but I read it will use the same name as the JDM version (Blade) and obviously be this car but a little different in looks for the USDM version. We'll see. Looking good, I like it!:thumbsup:

[Blenjar]

i like the tailights..

looks a lot like the nissan versa:iono:

Except 1,000,000 times better and, well, not at all like that nasty looking Nissan.

[static808]

this looks like the trd version, which means the base version will definitely look simpler/taller/less sporty. still an upgrade from the matrix! probably choose this over the scion xD...

Well I can soon see all the Auris drivers wanting JDM Blade bupers and lights :biggrin:

hey, since the matrix and corrola were the same car (matrix was the hatchback version), will the new corolla just be the sedan version of the blade?? i do believe the corrola is due for a makeover in the upcoming future...

VVTL-I engine 1.8L...........sweet yamaha engine made for matrix/blade...

[ChinoCharles]

are you sure matrix will be blade...? not auris...?
i just checked toyota.jp... blade is equiped with 2.4 L engine...
it's like a camry hatchback...

edit: ok... just read somewhere... no more matrix... the name blade will take over...
but we don't know what sheet metal or what engine will they use here yet...

they got to keep the 1.8 l vvtl-i engine theyre pretty quick and great on gas...but from what i found out 2.4l is the top model vtt-i engine instead.. i prefer the lift instead!!

[hhcchen]

i wish they come with this color...
so cool... haha...

Looks pretty much like a Yaris LB. I wonder how much it would cost to get your body panels chromed... would they need to dip the whole carriage? That would be super awesome if every metal part were chrome! Blinding drivers in sunny states I bet! hehe

[eTiMaGo]

brings new meaning to the world blingmobile....

[nsmitchell]

^^^ Yeah, but this thing looks like something from the future, like T2 - Jugement Day! Bad ASS!

[eTiMaGo]

yeah if only it could melt into a puddle then reshape as a lambo gallardo... :biggrin:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

the paint job reminds me of a classic American car, a Shelby?

[ChinoCharles]

I think we should get together as a community and make something happen... something that would make everything here better.

Lets all pitch in a few bucks... we'll centralize the money in the midwest to make it easy. Get a team in Chicago... bring a forklift (because that is all it would take) and swipe Nimble's car. We'll use the money to have a chrome shop on standby. We won't waste time stripping body panels... just dip the sucker.

Oh, the possibilities. :wub: And you know Nimble would just LOVE it!
