There are a few things out there for the J30a and I suppose you could do what cocoa is doing and sport the 3.5L J35 out of an Odyssey

i think the corolla xrs is busting 180hp..same hp as the celica gts. pretty damn crazy...is that car lighter than celica?

dude, they should make the xrs a total sports car...make the corolla xrs 2 doors, and add a rear wheel drive to it with the celica engine mated with 6 spd stick..OMG that would be like crazy car and a DRIFTER. hahahaha

That's a winner for Toyota... They'll probably release something like that under Scion though..

BMW's do not get spectacular mileage. I can't think of any bmw 2.3L or larger that gets 24 mpg in town. I get that consistently, have seen 32 mpg at 80 mph trips before too.

Ok, I bought my 99 cl in sept. 04, and have had a broken exhaust pipe and the check engine light comes on and off for the last year. Other than that rides tight at 132k miles. Wouldn't buy one with out the 5 speed, this way I can use all 4 limbs at once
