The Scion tC is the first nice toyota i've seen since the supra and turbocharged MR2. I've hated toyota for the past 8 years or so because of the lack of efficiency, styling, and performance. The tC on the otherhand is beautiful, gets 160 naturaly aspurated HP out of a 2.4L I4 (sounds a bit like another jap company), and w/ and w/o the supercharger performs decently. I've been a Honda lover for years and have an '02 EX but the tC is truly enticing me to sell my civic, add on the 9K in the bank and get the supercharged tC... well... i'll think about it. Nevertheless, Scion is toyotas first marketing genious. They made the xA and xB as clearly horrible cars; slow, ugly, and unwanted. They sit in the lot and sell slower than any car i've seen in years... but how horrible they are sure did get alot of talking going on in magazines, on the streets, and in these forums.... which brought ALOT of attention to the company in perfect timing to release a car thats actually very nice, and very nicely priced. I commend toyota for the first time since the supra and to any of you out there w/ 20k and looking for a new car... get the tC, the non-S/C is nice too for 16k. The tC wont be 16 and 20K for long... trust me, the non-supercharged will be priced similar to the SI in a few years, and they should be, they're worth every penny. The tC... as of now is the corvette of imports... (performance for dollar)
