Has anyone else seen the new Pontiac G5 commercial, saw it the other day and stood up cheering

. They actually mention the tC in it, stating that the G5 gets better mileage and more Hp than the tC. IMO, this is a huge step for Scion, because something that was made to go after civics and such, is taking on V6 coupes.

tC's are all over the place in the Chicao Suburbs too... I wonder how old that data is they have, and what the source is. When I got my xB on Aug 11th, 2004, There were NO Scion's out here really.... not till late 2005, early 2006 did they start popping up all over, but that was 2 YEARS ago... I see dozens on my way to work fom the South suburbs to the North suburbs....

THE L4 Camrys couldn't beat stick IS300s could they???

Yes look at my profile camry, i did!
