huh scion 2.4 na pala, all along i thought 2.0 lang.

between the 2 scion na based on the 2.4 engine. same hp pero the torque figures point toward the scion.

isn't the scion tC once was called the son of Supra? I read it somewhere, can't remember.

Kung sa akin lang sir, sa RSX na ako hands down. What I like most about it, is the way it looks over all, and all the curves are just right, it really looks so damn ***y to me. Ok rin sana yung scion but I find its rear fugly(pardon my french). Upgrading the RSX is also no problem at all whether its the interior, exterior or engine. If its horsepower or torque your worried about Im sure hindi mawawalan ng aftermarket goodies ang RSX, after all, its a Honda.....need I say more.

[chieffy]

honda! honda!...RSX ako...lamang sa fuel economy...

parang pinaghalong mazda 3 at volvo s40 yung external ng scion... mas bagay naman ito kapag dala ang pamilya...

rsx as well. not really sold on this whole scion thing

IMO, the silver on the Scion makes it look bland. Pag black or any darker color will bring out the details. Scion ako.

Rsx has better performance. Scion tc is not a performer. u can see a Rsx on the racetrack but not Scion tc.
