This car has no voice features.

Did a walkaround of the car in an open field, but it needs some music or something to make it interesting. Don't have any editing software though.

rev it to 4500 with full throttle then you get some boost for the video

[ElroyJetsn]

Won't boost without load, this is an automatic. You can see the boost display in the incar driving video

Its like a Japanese version of K.I.T.T.

Awesome!!!

A guy in my HS (class of '91) worked like a dog to buy a car and he thought he got an exciting car with a XT. A month later *something* broke and the part, and just the part, was $1500... it had to be ordered from Japan... and took 6 weeks to get here. 6 weeks of walking to work. And the driver's window would stick and he had to get out of the car to pay the tollkeeper. Suddenly the dull old Buicks, Toyotas and Volvos we drove weren't so dull.

112 HP may not sound like much by today's standards, but with 134 lb/ft of torgue at only 2800 rpm it has a surprising amount of grunt and weighing only 2850lbs it's really fun to drive. With a drag coeficient of 1.29 there's enough power to give the car a top speed of 120mph.

The coolest thing ever. (No idea why YouTube decided to randomly post the first half of my comment before I was done writing it)

My aunt had this car back in the 80s, I thought it was
