Pretty neat addition. It came out of nowhere, really.
BUT
The fact that there is no black paint job saddens and infuriates me. mad

I have to say, the marketing thing definitely occurred to me...still, a new feature is always good!

they totally whored it. They gave all of like 5 customs to put on the other cars, and a few dozen for the Scion, never mind that the Scion is faster, and there are no benefits to racing the other cars. WTF?

I hate to be the odd ball here, but personally I'm not too happy to see these things. Sure it seems great, but I'm overwhelmed with things to customize and all. It just seems like too much of a good thing to me. sweatdrop On the flip side of things it's cool in that now we can supposedly drive around towns and all, but I'm not really sure. xd I dunno overall, I'm not too pleased; I MAY get one but not sure yet what kind or when, etc.

I like the cars, and hopefully we'll be adding garages onto our houses. I think it'd be cool to be able to drive places someday from our houses.
My car's black, BTW... domokun However, I think the color choices are different for the various car models.

It's kinda cool, I've never had a car before, nor do I know how to dive. I guess that will probably be the same here for me, I don't think I'll us it much. Really I'd like more decals and other things so more could be done with them.

Bakura Amane I hate to be the odd ball here, but personally I'm not too happy to see these things. Sure it seems great, but I'm overwhelmed with things to customize and all. It just seems like too much of a good thing to me. sweatdrop On the flip side of things it's cool in that now we can supposedly drive around towns and all, but I'm not really sure. xd I dunno overall, I'm not too pleased; I MAY get one but not sure yet what kind or when, etc. Actually I have similar sentiments. I know it's a fictional world but the Scion plug is pretty shameless. I fail to understand how the bulkiest, least aerodynamic vehicle is the "fast" one. Maybe it theoretically has a better engine? I realize this is a highly silly complaint on my end. However, with issues of fossil fuel consumption, global warming, and responsible consumerism what we teach youth about vehicles matters. **Disclaimer** not saying SUVs and people who drive them are bad. Mostly due to the number of youth on the sight we have the power to promote vehicles designed intelligently. Now, my boyfriend did say something about his sister driving a Scion and it getting good gas mileage?? Is this true? He said it could have been cause it was a four cylinder, still it seems like such a boxy vehicle would expend a lot of extra energy reaching the same speeds as other cars because of the awkward design of the frame. Future consumers should be encouraged to not drive a car 5 times bigger than they will ever need. I'm also a big, big fan of Aerodynamics, probably because I like driving small, fast cars. Yeah I know, it's a fictional car system made for flat out fun. And I know Gaia's probably got a promo with Scion. But why must the smaller car be inferior in terms of speed? sad

Usually SUVs have better engines to compensate for the increased weight and bad aerodynamics. It's not unusual for SUVs to have top speeds exceeding 240 km/h. This does indeed mean they need more fuel than other cars.
But since we don't have to pay for our gas on Gaia...

Yeah, it's a shamless plug by Scion, but think of all the other shameless plugs that have happened this year: Mimzy, Tsubasa Chronicle, Suzuka, Nancy Drew, etc... Out of all the shameless plugs though, I find this one to be one of the better ones. We get a new product, something new to decorate, and a new game out of it. It doesn't make me want to buy a XB, let alone any Scion, but I'm happy that so many other coprorations are taking into account our community, the 21+ age crew that exists on sites like Gaia, and doing things to make it better for something as simple as a quick sale.
Plus, I've only lost one race, so winning is good too!

I guess it's ok, but couldn't they have given us more cars to choose from.

WTF? actually, the Scion isn't faster, just handles better on bumps and jumps, and as for the options, the server was paid for by Scion (whoever makes it. Toyota?) There will be more options for the other cars in the future
