its actually a Fiveaxxis designed kit, so it may be an option :P

The new TC...is to be dubbed the TD, which is supposed to be a RWD platform using a Suby engine, but this of course is all on a drawing board.

Its expected to be a 2.5L Boxter running 200-210bhp.

At this point, who knows whats going down at the Scion camp.

This wasn't one of the best I've ever been at, but it was ok. The highlights were Ford, Chrysler, Scion, VW, Nissan, and the Micro car club in the lobby.
Ford showed the new Mustang (Ad Nauseam), but the convertible in red was really sweet. Lincoln had the nicest concept vehicle, very un-Lincoln like, more Scionish. Mazdas M5 and the RX8 are always worth stopping by. Chryslers Challenger was probably the nicest car I wouldn't want to buy, I loved it but I could never get in and out of a Chrysler product without hitting my head. Scion IQ... nuff said.I pissed off the rep who was answering the "How much and when" question with "It's just a concept"- I answered 2010 and 16,000. Scion was definitely the most creative section.
VW had the '64 bug from the commercials, with a motion activated voice track. The new Golf GTI was nice- one of the best long time participants. Nissans' Cube and the Kia Soul were interesting, very interesting. The Cube will be released in May.

Electric Lotus? That could be interesting. I always love seeing a nice 427 as well...

Both the tCs were ugly. Garm's is nicer than both...

bobselectric · 04-13-2009, 07:02 PM

The losers of the show were GM, Toyota, Subaru, Mini, and the Germans with the exception of Audi.
GM rested its entire show on the new Camaro- nice, but ho hum. The interior was lackluster, nothing different than you would expect from a cobalt, G6, or any other of their cars. I saw two SS Camaros and I think the others were the Berlinetta and the HF, complete with 4 cylinder engine (jk). Buick looks like it's going into the SUV exclusive business, with the exception of the LaCrosse (actually very nice). Pontiac should just die already. The Vibe was like sitting in a car built by circus clowns, evil circus clowns. Saab, Caddy, Saturn were meh. I still can't understand the attraction of the Escalade with the pick up back.
Toyota was boring- I could have gotten the same feeling walking into a dealership. At least Honda had a Mugen Fit. Subaru went with an all white theme- no excitement.

I'll get to the Germans after dinner

The "Lotus" was actually a Dodge/Chrysler Circuit concept- much nicer than the one Volt, "the car that has been ready for market since Ben Franklin invented electricity".

The Fighter TC was cool
