I cant get on the road without seeing at least 15 -20 Scion tC's damn it. What is so special about these cars??

eTiMaGo · 03-09-2007, 12:16 PM

relatively cheap, decent performance and tuning potential, pretty good looks, nothing actually bad about it as far as I know.

Like our car, but for a different crowd

tekmoe · 03-09-2007, 12:22 PM

yeah, they are all over the place. hope it doesn't happen with the yaris. that's why i am doing everything i can to distinguish mine from the rest.

my Vitz LED Tail lights should help........mwahahahaha

Gas mileage sucks though. If it got 40 MPG I'd be driving one right now!

*Chris07LB* · 03-09-2007, 01:59 PM

Because its a nice car, thats why.

St_G · 03-09-2007, 02:32 PM

I don't see all that many tCs. A few here and there, but not so many as to stand out. They're defintely the most traditional looking Scion and they're a bit more performance oriented than the Xa or xB, but I can't say that I'd choose to buy one. With a starting rice of $17K, there are too many more appealing options.

Black Yaris · 03-10-2007, 01:35 AM

not many scions here in Toledo here either.... we are a Jeep town... everyone here owns chryslers and has to repair them every 6 months

eTiMaGo · 03-10-2007, 01:43 AM

Funnily enough, I see some Toyota cars here with badges swapped for Scion badges

. And of course, that's on pick-up trucks, minivans, etc

Black Yaris · 03-10-2007, 01:49 AM

people here always ask me if I drive a scion because I have the netz badge on the front and rear.....

SAKU · 03-10-2007, 12:59 PM

why do we care if ppl like scions
forget that

forpinks · 03-10-2007, 02:08 PM

I think the tC are for old people.. it looks like a shrunk Camry Solara... plus that chunk of 2.4liter should at least make 190HPstock

with the vvt-i ... they should make a vvtl-i version of it with a bigger throttle body that makes 240-260HP

...
the current engine is tuned for old people...

I'll always take the old xA, and both the xBs... and the xD...
