Thank you Bob and Patrick, I am certain that as long as the Scion buyers realize the limitations of the car and get past the marketing they will find it a fine urban car. Ignore the rear seats. There is a Aston Martin version of this car with a properly fitted interior any gentleman would find proper. http://www.astonmartin.com/cars/cygnet

VERY well done review Miguel... I just wish they let the local scion enthusiast know about this event you were at to help point out some of the key features and benefits of Scion.

I am going to post your video up to my Facebook tonight with a response directly to scion, but please don't take any offense to the comments the folks will say... I don't see how they can have a new model release without inviting those who market the brand... A sales guy is book trained in the features, an enthusiast can point out the lesser obvious and explain more indepth. Very Disappointed in how Scion/Toyota handled this!

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster

The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models.

With its low windshield,…
