First Scion iM on my lot. Looks a lot better in person than I thought it would. Spring Green Metallic.

After seeing these pics yesterday, I swung by the toyota dealership in the late evening to see if they had one to check out in person. They left the keys in the one they just received so I was able to play around with the electronic bits, impressive interior :-o

The color is a bit much. The Barcelona Red and Electric Storm Blue look really good though.

I got to see most of the colors at the event in Texas a few weeks back. I actually like the green a lot, ofc red and blue look great.
Our first two just hit last night, and I need some lowering springs!

We got our first 2 last night as well. This one and a blue one.
Yes definitely need some lowering springs.
We're pretty excited about it here, they should sell pretty good for Scions. I think the price will sell the iA too. Both models are going to lease really good.

I received white and blue. Manual green with quickshifter, etc on the way :)
I got to autocross both, so fun!

They'll pry my dead fingers from my xB2.

I test drove a manual the other day. Not too shabby as far as handling goes but barely able to get up and go. Even down shifting does little to improve it.
I did forget it was a 6 speed though. Never got past 5th. Even then it was smooth at highway speeds. The salesman could not even drive a stick BTW. That was weird.

We have a salesman that can't drive a manual, it can be funny at times.
Except once he had someone buy a Miata, they requested a few things we had done at an outside vendor. It was a manual, so he asked me to help him bring it back.
I drove a bright purple miata all the way across town, and I had to put the top down because my head wouldn't fit well any other way. Other than the car getting beamed for being a "gay" car they are actually quite fun to drive.

I think I scared him too. It was like downshifting was a revelation to him. He honestly said "I didn't know you could even do that". I told him it is why it is so much fun, controlling the RPM and keeping the engine in the peak power band. Amazing that folks don't teach their kids anymore. Come the Zombie apocalypse and all you can find is an old manual truck you are gonna get eaten trying to figure out a clutch. That line always worked for my kids- :)

How would you say the rear cargo space (especially with the seats folded down) compares to the first-generation tC?

Don't really know about the 1st Gen tC, but the iM has plenty of room with the seats folded down.

I saw one of these in person at Formula Drift Seattle. They're odd, but I kind of like them. Just hate the color.

Nice looking Focus.

I wish they'd introduce a worthy successor to the original xB.
