The turbo would be very nice and that is what I had heard as well about it becoming standard. I went the economical route with my car though. After all, my other blog is all about <a href="http://www.mynewchoice.com" rel="nofollow">eliminating debt</a> so I kept things economical. With a 130 mile roundtrip every day to work, this car is just getting abused with miles so there wasn't much need to get all the extras.

I think they said they were going to make them standard in the next year or two. I'm sure that would help a lot. I tried to convince myself I cared about economics, but I decided I would rather drive a fun car then a economic car. I sacrifice a couple bucks for several hps ;) When I was in there they tried to push the turbo option. I think they said they were going to make them standard in the next year or two.

It shares the 4 cylinder from the Toyota Camry but is a much smaller car. Having the manual transmission helps plus I think it is much more fun to drive the stick. I've heard that the newer models are going to beef up the power and it is hard to complain with more power from the engine, although it makes it less economical.

I drove an xB a while back and thought it was roomy. There is no way I could deal with the lack of power in that car. Is the tC pretty zippy? My technorati rank took a ride too ;)

Looks like it is the evil one himself still giving a boost from his links. dang, I had checked earlier and I was still around 430,000 but just checked again and have jumped up to about 74k.

I was wondering if the ones with only one link were the last reviews from the original rules and you had to follow the new rules to get the two links. It will be interesting to see if I can rise through the ranks. Yeah I noticed that as well.
