Any car can be made ricey... Even the SHO... Just matters whats popular
Well granted scion had the XB which IMHO was pretty sad but good on gas and VERY roomy inside, it happened to be a car that people liked. The scion TC i do like its almost the opposite of the XB and seeing one with 1400 HP doing 7.8 seconds on the quarter IS impressive. Dont forget it is a FF drivetrain but that one that chris rado modified he did customize the transaxle so it wouldnt snap shows that with the work and enginuity a 10 second SHO is possible
