Gulp, , quite a step down in the looks department as compared to your great looking sedan Hyde.
I would imagine it would be a blast to drive though .

Also what 6mptnut said ^^^. When did Toyota start marketing the Vitz in Canada, and do you have link to it's specs?

no Scion here....
plus the TC attracts the ricer market.... just like the civic.....

they have been selling the Vitz here for 2 years. under the name echo hatchback. but the 04/05 model doesnt even have power windows!

the new one have quite an impressive standard features for such a cheap car. here are just something that pretty much sold me the car.
- power windows / power mirrors (finally)
- in dash 6CD with MP3 capability!!! (well, they have a stupid deck design like our G, luckly they have something good enough that i dont have to source out aftermarket)
- all the JDM RS goodies
- MAYBE getting the JDM RS bumper as shown on the pics above. cuz they said foglights is standard on the RS.

This little car makes 108HP, and it has been dynoed in stock from to give 98.5 FWHP. and with a sub 1000KG chassis. this car isnt bad. with a supercharger, should be able to kill WRX easily.... the light weight and short wheel base make this car corner like no tomorrow.

other then that... 6.4L/100 City and 5.5L/100 HWY is quite nice. thats like 45/55MPG i think.

btw, i'm not selling the G..... just gonna drive the Vitz as a beater pretty much.

Looks like a lot of fun to drive. I don't know how comfortable it would be for a big guy like me though.

10K more???!!!... As far as HP, I don't own one but have been told there are a lot of easy, cheap mods that add a great deal to performance. I drove a friends and it was a blast. Didn't think they were that expensive though...
