I like it. It's a huge improvement over the previous scions.

I think the car is ugly - it lacks something - not sure what it is but it doesn't really strike me as an attractive good looking car. The only thing appealing to me are the specs and price.

i like it, and i think it looks a lot like a mix between an rsx and a new accord coupe. ill look into it, and 160hp/163ft-lbs would beat an SI as long as both drivers are decent. plus its cheaper, by quite a bit, and a SC to get it up to 200 hp . damn looking good.

im getting a tC in november. the car looks nice. there is already a turbo kit out for it made by turbonetics. the tC resembles lots of cars. the headlights were inspired by bmw. the front grill was inspired by the skyline and the body kinda resembles the g35. the car's interior is more roomier than the civic. for 16,465, this car is the best for its price along with the mazda 3. everything powered and ac comes standard. cruise control is standard.

That car looks nice.. good looks, specs and price. I saw a picture of one in japan somewhere tho and it has crazy wheel gap, at least 6 inches. the pictures show it with bigger wheels and a sport suspension. Thats a shame.

its toyota's version of the Nissan G35. It looks a bit long to me, but it sbased on the camry chassis and the 2.4L motor. yay for torque! i have to admit that i like it alot better than the old box( Xb) and bubble ( Xa)

even if you don't like the looks you have to appreciate the recovery toyota is trying to make after releasing the Xb and Xa, i mean what the hell are you going to do with 108HP, nothing. Not to mention they charge $300 for an AEM CAI and that doesn't include the labor to put it in, lord. Xc shows there is still a chance for the Scion line.

If this thing is designed off of the camry chassis don't expect it to handle at all.

^^Huh? The engine is the Camry's 2.2 4-banger. They have a seperate blower for it from the Corolla/Matrix/Celica one... or so I'm lead to believe...

here is 2 pics of the tC with the turbonectic turbo.



the tC is built on the avensis chassis with the camery 2.4l engine. trd will start to offer the supercharger for the tC in november. the supercharger is like the vortech ones(i think it is a vortech).
