Default Scion TC - it's a pretty nice car!! PICS!!!

We did a full X-pel kit (hood, fender, mirror and headlights) on this brand new Scion TC for a local Scion dealer here in SD. They're going to be using it as one of their demo cars to showcase the clear bra.

Here's a few pics

Oh and by the way, it' has some optional stuff from TRD, like the exhaust and springs which give the car a 1.25" drop. Oh and the wheels are 17" oem - don't know whether or not those are optional or standard. Ah and the color, it's like a dark-metallic grey...

If I were to get a Scion it would be that exact car, but with the supercharger (assuming it's stick). The color is Flint Mica, a color available for both the RX and LS. It's my favorite current Lexus color and suits this car as well as it does the two Lexus models. For the tC as well as any sort of clear bra material.

Is that Flint Mica? It looks hot. I was actually quite surprised to see a tC in my neck of the woods already. It's the dark cherry color and looks absolutely horrible.

But the tC is a great value and a nice car, as long as it's not in that blue or cherry color.

i got two free tickets to six flags jus for test driving the car, pretty cool. they didn't have the stick available so i test drove the auto. would absolutely love the supercharger w/ it.

"It's the dark cherry color and looks absolutely horrible. "


yeah, i own that color on my gs but have to agree it doesn't fit that car too well.

These are neat cars- I'm sure they're going to put a dent in Civic Coupe sales!

My parents were just here last week visiting. They've been living in Richmond, VA for the last 7 years.
They had never seen or heard of a Scion before! I think the East Coast is just starting to get them...

I am actually considering a tC to use as a daily driver. I would get blue.

I've seen 2 of these in the past two days. The first one I saw yesterday (first time seeing it), I thought to myself, "wow, that's a nice looking car!" and realized it was the TC. I really like it, personally, I think it looks better than the RSX and Civic.

I haven't seen the interior, but the exterior gets a

The Scion Tc comes with 17-inch wheels.

And the new 2004 GS300 comes with 16-inch wheels.

The new Scion tCs is the best looking car under $20,000 for me.

I totally agree, and this would be the appropriate emoticon:

Yeah, the Tc is a nice car
