Can have pics here tomorrow, or perhaps tonite. It is the sporty looking one. The XRS (with a Celica engine and 6 speed transmission) is no longer available. I got mine a year too late.

It drives like is on rails, very smooth transmission, and tons of potential.

Ah, yeah I was thinking about the XRS. I had a local dealer try to put me in one. I went there to buy an Eclipse, and he wanted to sell me a Corolla... hah(no offense to Corollas, just the one's I've owned were too slow for me).

Then he played around with all the numbers after making some promises, I told him I'd be keeping my Stealth and left.

The XRS was only out for a couple of years, and although they are faster I have been told they are not worth the money,plus they don't make it anymore so I didn't even have a choice!

I'm currently shopping ...so just on the verge of buying something. Having a hard time deciding because I like and use an SUV but am worried about gas prices for the long haul. Decisions!!!!
