No car has gotten this much attention and acclaim for a very long time. First saw one several months ago. A firearms instructor bought one where I work. First impressions of the styling was that it was above average, especially for a Scion. That was before I knew it had a boxer engine, it's weight distribution and handling characteristics. Jeremy Clarkson has even said that there's "no reason to drive anything else." Keep in mind he is saying that about a car with a mere 200 HP and goes from 0-60 in 7.2 seconds.
There are lots of good youtube reviews...
