Scion tC

The Scion tc is almost out, i think it'll own the civic SI in sales, i think its a amazing car, it weights around 2900 (which is pretty heavy) and it uses the 2.4 liter engine from the 4 banger Camry, it puts out 160hp with 163 torque.... i think the only competition it really has is the Mazda 3 and the Nissan SE-R, the Civic SI doesn't sell well (because at 2 honda dealers i went to, they dropped the sticker price down to $16,000/$17,000
the msrp will be
Manual $16,465
Automatic $17,265

im definitely looking into it....looks fucken awesome!!!!

I definitely like the looks. Kinda reminds be of an RSX with the Tires pushed towards the front and rear. Looks kinda long and wide. Its a big car. Might be better with a V6 but that wouldn't be Economic then would it?

Looks real bad. Im just waiting for the reviews on it..

The quality of these Scions are the real selling point. The level of quality on the new tC is equal to that of Honda. It will definalty smoke Civics, no doubt, but don't under estimate TRD's abiltity to deliver as advertized.

The TC is Friggin awesome...no question about it. With the optional TRD supercharger this car will own. Standard equip. is amazing, and have you seen the friggin moonroof. OMG!! It's really nice. If I didn't have a Wife who dislikes coupes I would have waited and bought one!!

Not a bad car at all to look into. Plus it comes with a Pioneer Stereo and two moonroofs. I may get one since my Subaru has so many problems. I may look at one when it comes out this June.

i want my Xb....but the tC looks promising...remings me of the RSX...i love all the optionss that are available...u can all a whole bunch of options and still come out to like $23k....

I checked out a Scion dealer yesterday and they said that The tc will a an option from TRD that it will come with 19 inch rims a better suspension package and a supercharger that will give a maximum of 200 hp. And they will also have 40 different accesories for this car.

Why cant TRD make a turbo kit instead of a supercharger??? Why?!??! The TC lookz bad ass!!

i think thats the #1 car on my list to buy right now, its one step up from my accord, it has the same engine as the camry, and of course toyotas proven resale value and reliability, also for such a low price (yes u can actually just add one option and buy the car) also with 2 sunroofs, and a hatch style (much like the rsx) its a great car for the price, just waiting to test drive it this month hopefully

I'm definitely getting one. It's still tough, but I get any car under 20 grand but it's leaning towards the tC but of course, I will get the supercharge on it. Why don't they have a turbo, freakin' sux! STill under 20 grand actually, talked to the Toyota guy all about it. Looks sweet and I get to test drive one soon with the supercharger, the manager said when the 1st one came in he'd get that done and only he would supervise test drives.

i think it'd be better to skimp out on the supercharger and go turbo....unless u want some "right now" power

i though about the tC...but changed my mind b/c i still want a xB :D

yeah i dont know if i should get a tc or xb....ill just wait and see what people say about the tc vs the xb when someone i know buys one

hey guys, my friend that works at wonderies toyota says the tC will be here in 2 weeks, thats friggin great, he'll give me a call when it arrives, i'll check it out.. hopefully pics.. n tell u guys in depth incase you have no time to go look at it

when's the exact release date?

when's the exact release date?]

its out already u gotta order them.. i mean dude its a scion.. they dont just sit at the dealers.. u order it and then u go pick it up

then how are you gonna test drive one if the dealers dont have em there?

then how are you gonna test drive one if the dealers dont have em there?

each dealer right now has 1 or 2 tC's sitting there for test driving and display.. i asked about the xa's/xb's sitting on the lot.. their waiting for their owners to pick them up.. and i already test drove one.. the one at wonderies toyota.. they added all these options just to show the car off.. stuff normal people wouldn't get.. ya know what i mean?

why can't they build a turbo?

most of the options are just there to get us to spend as much money as possible...when i order my tC (at the end of the summer), im just gonna stick to the basics: 18" rims, custom Bazooka sub enclosure, and TRD lowering springs

no TRD sturts or sports clutch, or CAI?

i havent seen the price on the struts, and would you pay $335 for a CAI, plus then dealer installation cost? i'd rather wait and get the AEM intake on my own and install it myself...$228 isnt bad at all for an 18" wheel upgrade, plus those Enkeis are sweet

just as a warning, if you are looking for a system, dont waste your money on the bass tube deebo...(but its up to you). I heard they were making a v-6 with turbo, anyone know if thats true??? (Maybe its just a 4 with turbo??).

well, a bass tube no way, i would just do my own system like i have on all my other cars...but with the custom enclosure that they have for the tC, i'd just as soon opt for that and be able to finance the cost and not have to worry about wiring

there's a lot of options that the tC isn't getting compared to the xA and xB

i work for a toyota dealer and the new tC is a pretty good car...from what Scion released so far (xA n' xB-box with wheels) i didn't really like them...i was surprised at the price tho, i thought it was gonna be lil bit more expensive like 20K. Anyway...you guys are gonna see LOTS of tC's on the street because they are Selling!....thought i share that!!!!!

My wife saw the tc and absolutely loves it now. I was leaning towards the mazda 3 but its her choice I guess. I guess if she goes for it we will ask for the supercharger option, just how available are those options? can anyone get one or are they limited per dealer. also if you already own a tc w/o supercharger get off the high horse. 160 hp is pathetic for a 2.4 liter. I somked two tc punks on my way to work this morning! its a gorgeous car but its not a sports car!

Here's an option for Scion: Make the 2AZ-FE an option in the xA and the xB.

160hp isn't pathetic from a 2.4 liter its not made to be a race car.. its just another sporty coupe.. nothing special except the price.. everyone is humping this car left and right.. i think it gets more recognition then it deserves

I have a feeling that theyre the new civic/integra... basically wants to be upgraded...and the upgrades are going to start coming out of the wood work! 160hp isnt that bad, and youll be able to do alot to them, you can get alot of upgrade straight from the factory...intake, exhaust, suspension....well see i guess. what is your favorite color for the scion tc?

i don't thinkthe tC will be the next civic/integra....doesn't play the part...and IMO doesn't looks like something "they" would buy

yea i've been asking around.. like all my friends.. and their friends.. most of them wont even consider it being that its a scion and their first 2 econocars were very unappealing to most people.. the other people say its not fast enough.. like they want the supercharger in already and they said they might consider it.. and the looks? well it looks ok.. but between a civic coupe and the tc i would probably pick the civic for looks.. still i've been seeing them around lately.. seems like they're selling well.. now.. i gotta wait.. ONE YEAR to get mines hah

btw...the dealertoldme that if i were to order one it'd take 4 months to come

yea but dont u think its worth the wait? you get the car u want.. thats how scion works.. i mean for everyone else.. (for example) at a normal toyota dealer.. every month they have a meeting.. decide what the "people" or the "public" want.. then they get cars according to what went on in the meeting.. features are randomly thrown left and right with colors and options you dont need marking up a $16k car to about $18-19k... BUT for scion.. u "build a scion" u send it to the dealership.. with $ down.. then your scion gets delievered over there and u go grab it.. fun no? heh

All that i can say about the scion tc is that it is one of the best cars i have ever driven. I work at a toyota dealership as a lot attendant, and i have the option to drive the scion tc basically any time that i want to. I also have access to an 04 honda civic si and the tc is by far a better car, both in performance and maintenance. The 160 stock hp is amazing and the fact that i can cruise at 40 in second gear without even being close to redlining is amazing was well. Also, with the lowering kit and the body kit, spoiler, and the supercharger, the tc just becomes even better.

i went and checked out the tc again tonight and it was at the toyota dealership right next to a volvo dealership...and thought...doesnt the front of the tc look alot like a volvo???? weird. :)

The tc is more like the acura rsx than anything, but it doesl ook similair to other cars. Look at the RSX and then the Tc its very interesting.

aight, so i had to drive over an hour to test drive one of these things, but it was d@m worth it! the shift pattern is short and tight, not much wind noise, close controls, roomy interior, and good looks to boot.

but i keep reading about this supercharger above, and a body kit, and a suspension kit. the dealer i went to didn't have them as options. did i miss something? not that i can afford the sc anyway, that's why of course i'm buying a scion, but just curious where this info is coming from.

thanks

some areas don't have certain options...like here in NC u can't get the 19" rims or the TRD suspension for the xB...but in certain areas u can...but i think the tC should have all of the options available for it at the dealer b/c it doesn't have a lot of options...itz just the the dealer chooses to order...

i guess that's why itz better to order it instead of buying one from the lot so u can get what u want...

ah! okay...so all these options aren't for the tc? cause i've seen the website and everything and i've been to the dealership and all of the options are listed with no supercharger option or some other things. am i correct in concluding that the tc doesn't have as many options? nor as good as options? will be getting one by sept...just want to know all i can.

it doesn't have have the options the xA and xB have...but i have yet to see a full list of the options for the tC...all i see is the rims, exhaust, body kit and some other stuff...i'm going by what's on the net....and the dealer was limited on all the options available when i asked...so that means that their may be more options on the way...

10-4. i guess i shouldn't be stressing over these options...cause i really can't afford them anyway. i just hate getting something that then a year later, the bigger/better model comes out. think i'll just stick with stock and hound aem and eibach for some good stuff later.

yah it sucks how you cant get them all from all dealers but what you gonna do about it just order it online or form somewhere else

tell you right now, it's a pretty car... however not as fast as you all are boasting it to be... I beat it in my Infiniti J30t.... it was a standard , no supercharger or anything, just a stock one, but even then i expected a bit more out of it, it is a really nice looking car though, i'll give it that, much better than the celica.

Well I figure since you are all talking about this car. I should tell you that last saturday I bought one. I am the owner of a Scion Tc in a Black Cherry Pearl color and it is a 5-speed and I love it.

Just bought a black sand pearl 5 speed last thursday.. love it =) almsot got my 1000 miles on it then on my dyno it goes

^congrats on youre tC was the super charger opinion avaiable when you bought if it was did you get it???
