wait until the supercharger comes out and make your decision then... at 160hp, i bet the scion tC is definitely quick "enough" in stock form, but the SC brings 200hp with solid dyno curves to the table, and that can make a big difference... it will make the difference to someone who wants coupe hatchback styling with lots of space but lots of power... it won't make the difference to someone who wants smaller, lighter and yet still powerful...
i wish i could be completely sold on the tC in its current form, but i think the rear wheels are pushed back too far (which i guess is to accomodate all that space back there)... i'd be more willing to consider purchasing after the SC comes out and more body styling options...
i agree, however, that the backroom seating is kinda funky... its just a 2+2 that reclines, so its really just meant for *quick* transports of more than 2 adults
