Hi, I'm Yoshi, and just got a new '09 touring in CPR
I traided in a '06 xA to get it.
I chose the Touring over the Versa, Vibe and Matrix
(Yes I know the Vibe and Matrix are the same car)

My major reason for choosing the Touring?
Why should I pay $5,000 more for a car with 1/3 the features that I can't see out the back of!?

Toyota = Ford of 5 years ago.
Toyota, we make Ford look exciting.

Welcome Yoshi... Nice to have you "on board"

Excuse my ignorance but what is CPR (over here it is what you do to help someone who has almost drowned)

Is it a colour or a model...

I know the Versa is a Nissan (we call them Tiida over here)

Are Vibe and Matrix (Ford and Toyota models?)

My guess for CPR is one of two..


Continuous Plankton Recording (unlikely)

Cayenne Pepper Red (more likely)

Matrix - Toyota, originally a re-branded Corolla wagon
Vibe - Chevy, an ugly Matrix clone
Versa - Nissan, a small hatchback

Quick History Lesson:
The slogan of PA, before it became "The state of independence"
 Or visitpa.com (It's on the license plates)
The slogan was "The Keystone State"
Reasoning: Back in the civil war it was beveled that if PA fell, then the nation would fall.
That is why to this day when ever the state is represented as a symbol, it is always a keystone.

CPR - Chilly Pepper Red
(This is a hold over from the Scion forums I used to hang in.  
My xA was SRP - Salsa Red Pearl, as apposed to BCP - Black Cherry Pearl)
Not Mine, but close enough:

Thanks for the History Lesson Yoshi..

I have a 1.6 Diesel Version of the i30 With 255nm of Torque (very nice)

My Wife has A Nissan Tiida (which you Call a Versa over there) 1.8 ltr motor and 6 speed manual box .. nice car but I would have gone the Elantra Touring too  :D 

We didn't get that model of Toyota that you traded (The Corolla wagon we used to get wasn't bad looking but was dropped with the last model change)
