Scion tC *pics*

We finally got a couple Scion tC's last week...a total of 4, and all were sold before they even got off the delivery truck. We got about another 4 this past Tuesday...3 were sold and the last one sold yesterday. I was able to get pics of one that was pending sale..it was the only 5 speed tC we got so far...excluding 2 white ones we are getting today. These cars are NICE...the sunroof makes this car, its freaking huge and beautiful. The interior is well designed, the 2.4 2AzFE Camry motor pulls..over all, for a car that starts at 16,500 it comes well equipped. Here are some pics.


This tC came fully loaded even with the TRD stainless steel exhaust




Sport pedals, Chrome shift knob, nice quality interior, brushed aluminum accents..I like! 8)


At the dealership...we call tC's "Baby Skylines"


-G-rim back there envious :cry:


STANDARD alloy wheel on all tC's...the wheel is really nice!

Toyota did their research well with this car. I'm liking it a lot.

Can't say I disagree. Not a bad looking ride; especially for the money. Anyone have any good performance numbers on these (0-60, 1/4 mile, etc)?

Isn't the sunroof like one of Mercedes' sunroofs? The whole top is glass (basically), the front slides up on top of the car towards the back, and the sunshades roll up into the middle of the roof? The set-up on the Mercedes is pretty awesome.

I have to admit I really like this car.. I would seriously consider one as my daily driver to keep the Evo off the streets during the winters..

Yes...pretty much the same. Pretty much half the front roof is the whole sunroof....I love it. It has spunk...nothing in the Evo realm, but enough to hold your ground. TRD is releasing the supercharger this November...making power from 160 to a little over 200.

That's a lot of glass!

Toyota may actually have a winner here.

0-60 in 8 seconds! Nice, for an N.A. motor.

2.4L DOHC. 160HP, 163TQ.

Optional supercharger from TRD puts it over 200hp.

I think the rear looks kinda like a tiburon while the front kinda looks like a bmw.

All in all looks pretty good.

Im not sure about that glass. What would happen if that car were to roll over?

Edmunds comparison

That really doesn't look that favorable. Is it really rated 22/29 MPG?

Same as every other rollover - cross your fingers and hope to live.

Get the TRD package and have 200 h.p. for $20,000. Toyota is gonna kill sales of the Celica by bringing out the TC. I really like the car. Seems to be a outstanding value. The aftermarket parts manufacturers are going to welcome the car with open arms. I really want to see that new Nissan Cube van that is coming out.
