None of them look bad IMO. I think there's one being done for the Acura TL too.

I think they look good I won't lie. One thing I really like about the tC is the black roof in contrast with the color of the car, SW being my favorite of course :-D.

That Glassback mustang or whatever it is it pretty cool, but I keep thinking it would be too hot or too bright in the car (unless it has a shade or some dark a$$ tint)

civic si owners often bash tcs in the forums

odd that the glass roof look is actually sought after by them now.

either way looks good. that pic of the silver civic looks similar to a tc now.

not sure if im feelin the look on the g35 however.

It's very ignorant of those who'd say others are copying the tC's style.

True, though, the tC seems to have brought the look back but remember the early 90's saw a CRX with an all glass roof. I'm sure there are other cars the precede the tC and have glass roofs too.

civics copying tc's is way worse than the TC copying a mercedes. they talk trash about us but deep down inside they want what we have.. haha. i heard the new ford edge lookalike..the lincoln mkx or whatver has a glass roof and it rattles really bad. it makes me feel better that tc's arent the only ones with that problem. and they paid like more than double what we did.

Pretty funny that people say others are copying the Scion tC, when there are cars before the tC with all glass roofs THAT OPEN.

Look at the Mercedes Benz C230 (and I think 330). They had a full glass roof in the 90s all the way til the mid 2000's.

So if anyone is copying, its Scion.

Oh and there was the 993 Porsche in the mid 90s that had a full glass roof that flowwed back to the wing. Had a pop up sunroof in it.
