    Once again, it's pandering to the American identity like that orange abortion of a car they've showed many moons ago. #scionxb

    Does it back up and turn 90 degrees when it hits a wall? My daughter has one just like this that does, she is 5. #scionxb

    I like everything about it except the nitrous. The interior needs to lose the painted dash. Raise it to a driveable height and I think that green color would get old after a while. #scionxb

    I really don't like anything about it. It reminds me of something Hot Wheels would come up with. #scionxb

    I think the best thing I can say about this it that it's a one-off.

    Not a huge fan of the color, although I would be if it were metallic. #scionxb

    I have never been able to understand the whole "dropped" thing. So it looks like your car has broken suspension components and your wheel arches are mismatched to the diameter of the wheels. It always falls somewhere between inelegant and hideous. So why do this... Better performance? No. More comfortable ride? Hardly. Irrational need to punish those naughty speedbumps? Oh yea, baby; beat me with your bumper. #scionxb

    It's a twee toy but if you want to be serious, get it up off the ground, off the pizza dish rims, and do something with the bland color patches--something less like an empty tv screen or a sign background. Also, maybe try black.
    Other than that, ok.
    Well, no. I'm lying. #scionxb

    I think it's freakin' awesome. Maybe it's not the kind of thing that typical truck or camino drivers would buy, but I think it's pretty original and looks sharp. The only thing it really needs is jump seats.

    I do hope that it's on airbags though. It rides a little too low. #scionxb

    Cool, an xBox with an xBed. Front drive is a little silly on a cargo machine (VW notwithstanding), but clearly this guy wasn't thinking cargo - seriously, nitrous? He's trying to delay the CG shift for better quarter-mile times.

    Wheelie bars, dude. Cheaper, faster, and effective on front-drive dragsters.

    But hey. A compact pickup, genuinely compact. I like that. Front drive is okay. I'd drive it. #scionxb
