[QUOTE=Koma;4775556]Rumors were stating that the RWD coupe would be priced in the low to mid 20s.
Thats what I heard as well but I hope Toyota will be smart enough to price the tC and the rwd coupe far enough apart so the rwd coupe doesnt steal all the tC sales

Actually no. The tC will likely start in the 16-18K base price range. The Toyobaru is supposed to start at around 20K base price. The Toyobaru is supposed to be more performance-oriented than the tC and aimed at a slightly older buyer.

The tC (because of no price negotations) is already $20k with a few options.
A Toybaru RWD coupe is going to cost significantly more. Even Hyundai can't keep the FWD Tiburon near $20k. It's going to be similar to the Genesis coupe's $25-30k...

2.7L 200HP 4 cyl on the next-gen tC? Sounds very likely.
The 2010 Camry SE 2.5L already makes 179HP. With a bigger engine, I can easily see Toyota getting 200HP for the tC.
Hopefully they keep the tC light, improve it's handling, and make the styling more aggressive. Also more factory-supported performance mods would be nice.

I would rather see decent HP and torque figures rather than super-high HP and low torque. I hate that whole "motorcycle" philosophy of engine building, with peaky high HP engines and low torque. Sure there are high HP, high torque engines, but they tend to be very expensive and only found in exclusive models.
