I think that car looks great. Scion may be moving in the right direction now. No more 100hp boxes with stereos. This TC seems to have the best of all worlds. I'm 17 and if I'm not mistaken they are marketing to my age and older. This is something I would actually buy if I had that kind of money. It looks like a winner to me, hopefully its tunable. Toyotas vvti engines are hard to turbo. But a supercharger may work if its the right price. If only they could offer that package for 13 grand.

Nice little coupe. I had a 1995 Celica.....the last-generation model with the four big round headlights. I wish Toyota had replaced it with THIS car in 2000 instead of the present Celica they're selling.
This car is MUCH better looking than the present Celica...and with turbo power as a dealer-installed option.
This Scion tC's platform, by the way, is based on a Toyota sedan sold overseas...not here in the U.S.

Looks good... I'd still get the 100hp box though. I'm saving for one. :)

uh oh watch your back Civc...

ooooooooohhhhhhh it's sooooooooo cute!!!!! i want one!!!:D

G35 junior :D

Come on, Amy.....maybe as a second car? You wouldn't trade your IS for one, would you?
To quote Flip, that would be like being on Mars.

Well it is kinda cuuttee. I'm now curious to know what the tail looks like.

this is a MUCH needed improvement to the scion line. the tC still doesn't make me want to run out and buy a scion though.

anyone have numbers for this car yet?

If this was out oh, 8 years ago, I would be so there. I think the car is great inside and out , some next gen GS styling in front and some G35c styling on the sides, so a great mix. I cannot believe Honda is just watching this happen with their Civic. This car also demolishes the Saturn Ion coupe.

Another winner for Toyota.:thumbup:

I agree, Amy...I would maybe have exchanged my old Celica for one, but not my IS.
I was afraid you were going to tell me that the supercharged tC is a better power-to-weight ratio than an IS300 (which is true).

i think toyota will hit another home run with this one again!:thumbup:
very nice inside out and the best value. a lot of car for little money!

Agreed it blows the Ion away, but that doesn't take much...in spite of the advantages of the plastic panels, the Ion is one of the poorest fit-and-finish cars on the market...with an interior that would make a Yugo look plush. Saturn's only claim to fame now is the quality of the dealership service....and the Honda 3.5L V6 in the VUE.

Also, speaking of the Ion, notice that this is the first Scion without the Ion's center-mounted-type gauge pod. I've never been a fan of that design. Unfortunately, we're starting to see that design even in more expensive vehicles...witness the Nissan Quest and the Panoz roadster.

Toyotas vvti engines are hard to turbo. But a supercharger may work if its the right price. If only they could offer that package for 13 grand.

Turbo Magazine got one of the pre production tC's and have 3 weeks to mod it. TRD is producing a supercharger already but they took it to Turbonetics and are getting a custom turbo added. Should be pretty interesting.

Thanks Amy your a sweetheart.

That is a cute car I like it, will be I think a big hit. Need bigger wheels though.

I'm looking to buy one (Xb) as we speak, for my wife of course. I'm not getting rid of my GS 430. It's a sweet car.
