Here are my thoughts copied from scikotics forum:

Overall I am satisfied with the xD maybe some slights changes. But my major request would be.

Engine with a little more power. Since a few cars in our price range come with around 150hp stock even the 2012 Civic LX comes in around 140 hp stock.

Maybe redesign the engine bay a little and have engine options. Like stock engine around 140hp or a turbo 4 cylinder putting out like 200hp. Most car manufacturers are start to give these types of options. a stock N/A engine and a boosted verions. Stock engine running around $17k and Boosted versions running around $24K. Maybe even a small 6 cylinder option. But I am sure the tC would get that option first.

The 6 speed tranny idea is cool. and Maybe a hybrid tranny (auto and manual).

and make it less detuned. Since the Corolla has the same engine but the tuning is different so it gets a few extra HP. I know it's not a lot but, people spend extra money for a few extra on exhaust and intakes why not get a few extra free from the factory.
