they aren't "useless" if you consider image appeal to be of importance. people tend to buy things if they look good/better.

Okay, how 'bout if they made a tach and crusie available as well as the "S" package?

Thirty-Nine · 07-28-2007, 08:02 PM

Well, there's no info yet on the Web site about whether it'll have a tach or not (or did I miss it?). I am literally on my way do the dealer to talk to them about a possible trade in on my xB for a 2007 Yaris, but I figured I'd look here first. If I could get an '08 liftback with a tach, I'd wait. Otherwise, I'd shoot for an '07.

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-29-2007, 04:11 AM

heh, more practical i would say. shoot, i would be annoyed if i didn't have a tach too.

for me, cruise control is okay. i guess i don't drive far enough to make that useful.

Highly doubt it since Scion has our lovely Yaris TS 1.8 in disguise as the xD.

Sorry, not to be an A-hole but are you serious? This is an ENTRY level car, leather seats aren't going to be on here unless its fake leather...pleather anyone

But still its not suppose to be a premium sub-compact like the MINI although it would be cool!

You're absolutely right, but as I said just as an option. I've seen pictures around with people having custom leathers, so it's obviously something people are willing to pay for. I'm all for a very broad array of customization, but that takes away from the whole entry level thing, meh.

eijikikimaru · 07-30-2007, 03:21 PM

Guess we'll be getting at DIY tach swap soon =)

sherryberry · 07-30-2007, 04:45 PM

sherryberry · 07-30-2007, 04:45 PM

BlazingBlue08HatchBack · 07-30-2007, 05:25 PM
