well if you read up on the spec of the engine. if toyota wanted they could of easly put the 1.8 GTS motor in the tC.but they didnt cuz they had bigger plans..there are cons and pro to both engines.. yeah you can rev higher but when you boost that engine the lag in the turbo is not that great. i would be ay full boost at about 2500rpm. all that im saying is that the scion brand will have a big part in the proformance world and will be a vary good competitor and will hold his own.
