Some interesting cars, I think if they made the ones that aren't in production already, they would sell. Includes the IMAS, and IMA Dualnote, others.

The new FCX concept is the coolest by far. How can you not love that body?

thanks Terry.

The GRX is nice, a bit too radical for even most Insight buyers I would think. Very close to the IMAS. I like the IMAS rear better. I still think either could sell as the Insight replacement.

The FCX looks like it would have one of the lowest drag coefficients out there.

If I was rich I would own one of each, I wouldn't be able to decide between them. FCX, Sports 4, V6 IMA Dualnote, IMAS ...

I do agree there are some 'DOGS' in there too. quite a selection of ugly vehicles. To my suprise, ugly vehicles sell. I never thought the xB would have such a following since it is a box on wheels. If I knew I could make money drawing quadrilaterals ...

You can check out other makes ... think I should post the cars by brand page on a different thread/forum?

The Scion xB is a really good car, actually, even though it looks ugly. It's not the ugliness that makes it popular.

I almost purchased one. Reason, you can add all kinds of really neat stuff to it.

But the HCH ll finally came out and well there went the idea on the Scion xB.

Terry

BTW; I like different.

I guess there is still a big part of me that chooses form over functionality. I didn't mean to imply I thought it was not a nice vehicle, the styling is just ... not inspiring to me. The same goes for the Honda suv's. I am curious to the coefficient of drag on these vehicles. I know someone who is in love with the xB and is saving to buy one. I kid her about it, all in good fun.

If you go on the link I posted when I started this thread, they have a xB concept on the Toyota page

Toyota's bB

Scion's page

http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame...hp&brand=Scion

Terry, I am glad the HCH-II came out in time, I am sure it is a bit more comfortable and luxurious than the xB by nature, with added FE. I considered the tC for something to drive until I could order and get a Hybrid when I visited the dealer with my friend. I just happened upon the 05 HCH and went for that instead. I also know I have a family member that would want it if I decide to get the HCH-II in the next year or two, it seems I might do this once I feel my technique has been mastered.

I also want this car if they will make it

Shaun;
Your coming over loud and clear. I'm also glad that I held out and waited to see what honda was going to do with the 06 HCH ll. It was the right move (IMO).
