i dunno... i have mixed feelings about them. On one hand, they are ugly as sin. On the other hand, they are light, good mileage, toyota reliability, and cheap as hell.

I mean really, <$13k for the XA. better looking than the xB, 32/38 mileage (not bad at all), and just over 2300lbs (manual). Sound like a great car for a college kid. If they just did something about the looks... i cant wait for a couple years to go buy, and pick one of these up for cheap. Not gonna take too much to make 2300lbs move fast. Wouldn't take much work at all to strip it to less than 2000 lbs. Drop in a turbo MR2 engine or something smilar. i could probably deal with 5-10 lbs/hp.

Anyway, i think once they fix their look, they could hit a good market. Cheap, fuel efficient, reliable, light. Sounds like a Civic many years ago, and look where they ended up.
