Apparently its going to be 1.5 boxer powered, and based of the same chassis as the new legacy and wrx, but thats not all bad is it? the Scion TC is based of the Caldina and Avensis chassis yet still looks pretty good?

Anyway, shitty boxers aside, im sure there are more than a few people out there ...

Heard something from the guy who works next to us talking to my boss the other day, apparently there is a company around palmy that pays to take wate oil off of your hands, probably so no one disposes of it in an unsafe manner.

Id be pretty happy with a Toyota badged Scion tC, maybe 4WD turbo though as it uses same chassis as avensis and caldina.

Im F'n stoked about the new Toyota-Subaru Coupe though, and in a passing mention i think the new Hyundai Genesis Coupe looks great as well.

The last time i checked under my car it had a transmission tunnel, and like its already been said, the curren and celica, and most probably including the GT-4 variant, all share the same basic chassis and most parts, sure the Gt-4 would have some different bits to accomodate its running gear but its ...

Anyway,
