I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Anyone interested in a Scion?

Just letting you guys know, in case you don't already, i sell Scions ( Toyota's as well). So if you have any questions about the cars, hit me up. Hint ,hint- If your looking to purchase one, give me a chance. Help a fellow care enthusiast out, ok?

Give me a decent trade in on Sophia and I'll buy a Scion.

Sophia for Scion. Sounds good, eh.

I would need to get rid of some of my fleet to get a new car.

I like the xB a lot, but I could never own something with a center-mounted instrument cluster, I don't know why Toyota continues to think that putting the guages there is a good idea.

I totally agree, that would stop me from buying an xB also.

Well, guys it's not like there's a lot of gauges. All of them are located in one single pod a little bigger then a monster tach. The xA and xb are related closely to the Echo which also has a center instrument cluster.

Understood. The only way I'd get it is if I was prepared to build a custom fiberglass dash to put the guages back where they belong.

I must say, you did put a good spin on the situation, like any good salesman. You probably sell a bunch of Scions. :)

I have actually seen an xB with the gauge pod replaced with a monster tach, the information center covered over, and then over towards the driver individual gauges installed in the dashboard and placed into individiual pods. Looked real nice. The actual reason the gauges are mounted "centraly" is to have the driver pay more atention to the road and less on the gauges, which is a safety concern. So guys keep your eyes off the high revving 1NZ-FE.
