Been raining here all through the night since yesterday morning. It looks like all the snow will be gone over the weekend. Now if we only have one or two good rain showers during the week, then I think the S2000 can make its appearance next weekend.

Honestly, I don't agree
The Scion is supposed to be a low end, low cost, efficient vehicle
The FT-86 should be a higher end, mid cost, performance/sporty vehicle
If done correctly, the cars should be in 2 very different segments
IMHO

I should have known that was coming

Just saw on AutoBlog that Toyota has plans of showing a Scion based version of that car at the NY Auto Show.

I'd rather wait to see the Subie version (if it ever comes) as Toyota just does not appeal to me.

Doug, I saw in another thread today that you said pm's don't work?
You need to try again as I've been using them for days now.
No problem...

Exactly!

And, well, that ain't no Scion tC type of powertrain

Not saying you are wrong, but the tC has grown long in the tooth and the current version looks hideous. See AutoBlog. Toyota has plans of displaying this at the NY Auto Show as a Scion.

What I think is he is using that as an excuse not to read his PMs

Jeff is right. PM's have been online for a few days now
