i love the way it looks, too, but i think a four door will help me carry around musical equipment in the future a little better. much easier sliding amp cabs into a rear door then into a hatch i also agree to the second part. i'm just waiting for the riced out ones to start showing up around here. nothing screams "i got a new car!" better than a 6 foot spoiler

that is a good point. kinda like Honda and the difference between the H22A4 and the D16. .6 liters makes the h22 twice as big as the 1.6 d16. regarding the weights of the two cars, it's only about 60 pounds, so that's not too bad. a nice set of lightweight racing rims and tires and some little things here and there will more then make up for it.

i would think it is the sunroof contraption too. that is a lot of glass. but who's to say for sure until someone buys one and starts stripping for drag.

if i didn't have my evo and i wanted a family oriented or non racey type of car, i'd definitely go for the tc...semi-luxirous, adequate hp (unless u street race or w/e), and pretty stylish..plus toyota's renowned durability and reliablity, its hard for me to not to think about that car

toyota only makes 500 on each scion? no freaking way. maybe the DEALER only makes 500 on each one, but i'd bet that toyo makes a fair deal more.
