I don't know what name they will call it, although I think that xC is out (Volvo has the trademark I think).

I have to agree, the post is a bit short on info. You didn't link to the specific thread on Toyota Nation.

Anyways, if its 2.4L I'm wondering if its the same engine found in the current Camry?

isn't their car called the xc70 or something?
there's a bunch of cars out there with similar names like
acura cl
benz cl
lincoln ls
lexus ls430

are they not trademarked or what?

Yeah that makes sense. When it comes to alpha-numeric designations, there's a lot of overlap out there already. I doubt Volvo can trademark "XC" and prevent other manufacturers from using it.

On a side note I tracked down the post on ToyotaNation. As Dorikin said, it really doesn't have that much info, and I'd be prone to say alot of it is just conjecture. But basically it is said to use a revised 2.4L engine thats found in the Camry tuned to around 185hp. They said xenon, sunroof, and 17" wheels will be standard on the new "Tc", which will be a sporty 2-door coupe. Pricing is said to be "well under 20k".

Sounds like it's gonna be a 7/8-scale Solara.
