Oh, and I don't know about the single center exhaust either. It's always bugged me on the Porche Boxter, and I dont' think I really like it here either.

As for the interior... see it in person and you may appreciate it more. At the Toyota dealer show people couldn't keep their hands off the Alcantara.... kinda like petting a soft kitty. MEEEEEOOOOOW
We are adding a few minor details today. We just aren't from the school of 50 monitors, body color accents, fur, gold, or overplayed carbon.... Clean and sporty

While props are due for having one of the first semi-built showcar tC's...execution turned out to be somewhat dissapointing. Your designers made a very good looking tC on paper but the final product is lacking in originality which is what your xB brought to the table.
The main problem is the rear "widebody" section. THe fender flare looks great which is where you should have left it but having the widebody from the door on looks like it was placed there without much thought put into it. How bout widebodying the entire side of the car excluding the door. Have it flare out from the bottom of the window and top of trunk and extending it out the the real bodyline of the car. Where your current widebody begins, it looks as if there are 2 bodylines...yours being very out of place. then have the widebody follow your plan flowing into the flares.
You're doing a lot more interior right? The dash is so plain and needs more color or atleast a nice wrap. The stereo looks decent...the speakers on top of the lid were great...but having an oversized tv (which is pointless in my ming even for CES, and it looks like some of those POS cars you see at shows who got sponsored and just put whatever free ____ into their car whithout thinking of the final product) flow into some dinky looking basic box is kind of sorry compared to the final product of the xB.
The rims and bodykit are kinda nice but the polished lip doesn't look like it belongs with the lime green. The bodykit looks like you jacked a Tiburon front but I did end up liking it because I have always been a fan of "drift style" bodykits and yours has that feeling to it. The diffuser in the rear looks like you wanted to copy the front of your xB which doesn't flow with the rest of the car.
Well...that's my feeling on this. All you people love this car yet you make fun of those who use the word rice, put mad gauges in their cars, or who have oversized spoilers. This car is ending up to be the ultimate poster boy for rice (even though I never use that word to describe any POS car...which this is not)...and EVERYONE sees this and is greatly in love with it.
STOP KIDDING YOURSELVES!!!

whos kidding who?? its a matter of Opinion and taste
its like you liking your own music and telling somebody that they have a bad taste in music... no one can tell anyone else that their taste in music is bad, people's tastes are just that, their taste. its subjective.
it all comes back to respecting peoples choice and opinion.

Well, I can see where he's coming from. Honestly I thought the same thing (ie I thought it fit alot of users' seeming definition of "rice"). I just didn't mention it, because there's no need in offending people. It does seem hypocritical of some though. I firmly believe that if someone else had done some of these things to their car (like a "normal" user), there would have been many "RICE!!!" posts. *shrug*
Personally I think the concept of rice.... or rather making fun of people for it, is elitist and brings to mind "Snobbish _______." I don't run around pointing at people's clothes and yelling "Tacky!!!" even if they were to post a pic of themselves on the net. Assuming they're not full of themselves. It's one thing to tactfully give your opinion on something if it's requested of you, but to landblast someone with negativity is petty imo.
