Wow!! The bB has 91 hp and 90 ft*lb, out of a 1297cc (1.3 liter)!!!! That's terrible. . . .

On the other hand, the Blade looks to be a relatively fun car. . . . . 165hp (at 6000 rpm) and 165 ft*lb (at 4000 rpm, OUCH!!). That's out of a 2.4 liter. I'd like to see the peak torque a little lower, but I have no Idea what the area under the curve looks like, so not too bad. . . .

I'm loving the HI-ACE microbuses with the Diamond Racing wheels.

Toyota should of kept on selling the Hiaces here. The first toyota minivan was a Hiace in Japan.

Microbus.. minivan was a term that the American manufacturers, mainly Chrysler came up with. The japanese like to refer to them as microbuses since they're squared, bus looking.
