I like it and will consider one when they arrive. Just like the Element shocked people this will do the same.

>>I saw the Toyota MR2 up close-
>>Why isn't that closer to competing against the mini?

Have you ever seen an MR2 (especially a new one) at an autocross? I haven't. Read some reviews and you'll see why. That POS has one of the worst suspensions on the market for a "sporty" car. It handles poorly and eats tires for lunch. Plus it's ugly. Toyotas suck.

I like the look of the Xb.
It's really boxy but looks fun to mod...
DOESN'T TOUCH A MINI.
Glad to see small cars are in...
