Default Scion Tc

Just woundering if anyone knows anything about it.

Good
Bad

With the price as low as it is I was thinking of geting the super charger along with it.

If you don't have anything productive to say keep your comments to your self.

Heard decent things about it, but of course most of it is speculation since I believe it isn't due to hit dealerships until November.

Speaking of speculation, is this going to replace the Celica as Toyota's new "sporty" 2-door?

i got a scion. and the tC comes out in june all over the USA. the tC will have the RZ engine in it. 160 HP.. i believe it FR, not sure tho.

from my experience with scion.. the tC will blow people away with its unique-ness as far as a nice mid-sized car with bawls, and many customization options. the tC will have a factory option of a turbo in the near future.

so to those that have a toyota RZ engine.. check out the tC turbo b/c it shoudl bolt right on.. or with few modifications. new rav4s, corollas and tacomas will be able to do this mod.

also the tC is extremely light. i have an xB and with only 108 hp 5 speed i can keep up with a modded integra pretty well until the high rpms in 3rd gear.. ha ha. so the weight to power ratio of the scion is amazing.

also the tC has 2 sun roofs on in teh front and one in the back, side markers on mirrors, the interior has neon options as all the scions do.

i cannot wait to see this car. i have na xB and i love it, i bet the tC will rock too but ill keep my xB and jsut drive around one of my club member's tCs. i hope they let me. ^___^

if ya got any other questions jsut check out scion life or ask me. im crazy for toyota/lexus/scion

Ummmm...think you may be exagerrating? Is this a manual transmission xB vs. a stock auto LS or something? My xB is anything but quick. I'd say this thing is slow...very slow.



As far as the tC replacing the Celica...I posted a question, not a fact. I was just curious if Toyota would keep two similar cars. I think the tC would draw away many prospective Celica buyers. Doesn't seem like a smart idea for Toyota to manufacture cars to compete with each other.

Actually, I was shotgun when she did it. The xB held its own against a pretty riced out Teg.
