Depends on the car size and type. Most live in small areas so a manual doesn't seem to practical. A friend told me his parents have had a Toyota Camry for about 6 years and only put about 30,000 miles on it.

I think your friend read wrong, from what i remember there is a six speed manual transmition or a 7 speed sequential shift automatic super CVT-i in a 1.5 or 1.8 liter engine.

Did no one notice the paddle shifters? Wonder if that's a TRD only option.

Looks like they may have put a cover on the storage above the glovebox too.

I was just about to post asking about that.

They look awesome, and I like the concept.
since it's just a switch, and the shifter already has the switch, adding it on
shouldn't be a big deal...
I almost bought a Honda Fit but accidentally hit the paddle shifters
too many times while I was test driving for comfort!

I thought the Scion electronic shifting felt pretty awkward though,
do you guys like it?
Should I revisit it and take more time to get used to it?
What I didn't like was the lag between when I nudged it and when it kicked.
Maybe if I got used to it enough to anticipate it and tap it early I'd like
it more.

I just noticed the bluetooth control on the wheel too. and the fatter armrest... and the wider fog lights... I want to trade now... I'd even like to keep the right-hand drive...

You can get that as a dealership option overseas. I ordered one the other day. I know it won't fit but I am going to try and make a mold for one for our xBs.

taillights yes, headlights no. Or unless you want to do a lot of body work. I just got in all of my Rumion front end parts and took out one xB headlight and tried to put the rumion one in. It is different in size in almost all directions.
