Never heard of such a thing.

The Supra is now "outdated." If Scion wants to be fresh for Generation Y, they need to be creative and new in design...

The dealer that thinks the new Tc looks like a Supra should be thrown in jail!!!

It's a crime to consider that either looks like the other!

It is the same exact tC, with new tailights, headlights, and and bumpers.

It was just a "refurbish", not a "redesign."

The redesigned tC should be a MY09, and most likely be revealed in '08.

Philip you nailed it right on the head.. There's no way it resembles a Supra..

I guess theres a Twin Turbo engine in there to.. LOL

I've said it before the tC looked better before the refresh, this looks like APC got a hold of it.

something interesting about the tC and the Supra, a lot of tC drivers think that they are driving Supras

You mentioned you were at a grad party. Perhaps the person who told you this was in a drunken stupor?

Please re read the original " He said, "HIS NEIGHBOR SAID" and " LOOK LIKE THE SUPRA A LITTLE BIT"

Some kid will buy the new tC because the salesman said "It's the next gen Supra and the tC stand from turbo coupe"....
