What dealership was this at that you saw the tC?
Every time I go past the Gibbons Toyota up on 6 I never see any Scions there. :dunno:

I like the xB, the xA doesn't do much for me. But if I had enough money to buy a strictly gas-efficient cheaper auto, the xB would win by far.
I read that the tC is overweight and doesn't handle that well :dunno: I mean, on the same token the same editor stated that with some suspension tuning it would change that statement.
My only concern is that I feel it needs a nice clean lip kit to set the car off to the end. But with the factory lip kit, there is black rubber padding behind the lip and on anything other than a black car, doesn't look so clean. It needs a drop, (even left resting on the stock gunmetal 17's) and a clean lip kit and it would be one ballin' ride. What do you guys think?
