i heard this conversation in LA auto show
someone A :does the TC means TURBO charged?
the lady for Siron: No it does not mean turbo charged. it means Touring Coupe.
someone B: hahaha.

yea the motor is DOHC VVT-i 16 valve 2.4 engine... put out 159hp @ 5,700rpm and 163lb torque@4,000rpm. the car weight 2925lb.
the spec are pretty close.. now a 4 door vs a 2 door.. hmm.

gack!!!

what's with the round look of a 350z and the greenhouse looking close to a beetle?

Any more bubbly, it'll become a TT clone.

BTW: is this a celica GTS replacement?

enemy eh? read some of the article on the scionlife site. Looks like they really did mix different cues from different cars. At first glance the headlights reminded me of the ones on the newer BMW's, and the sideview does look RSXish/350z. Might make out to be an overall good car tho
