Dont you guys hate how popular the tC is? I know it gets to me. I see lik 2 others every day.

now for the question....

how many tCs are being sold compared to say....the civic coupe and the mustang? I ask because i know i see way to many of these around. If anyone could find some numbers that would be great.

locally here, i see way more Tc's then civic coupes......but i do see alot of civic sedans.

as for the Tc, i think when people drive them vs. a LX or Ex civic coupe they tend to like the overall value the Tc has. I see a mix of alot of demographics driving the Tc, old, young women men etc.
For the price it appeals to alot of people........Tc's unfortunatly are becoming a dime a dozen, they are what the older civics were 2-3 years ago.....

get used to it. toyota isn't going to limit their production just so a much of people can feel special about their 18k car.

The Scion tC is a sucess. Im glad, because more companies will provide us with a varitey of aftermarket parts!! :D

i think you also just tend to notice more tC's when you're driving one yourself

true^^^

yea, ever since I started planning my tC purchase a few weeks ago I've noticed every single tC on the road... it gets ridiculous that I always spot them, whether I want to or not

When I was living in California I would see them all over the place. Luckily here in the Tennessee people are big on American cars so it's not so bad.

I continue to feel special.

^^ lucky, I live 10 minutes from a huge university (which I attend) and needless to say I see anywhere from 5-20 a day. More if fall and spring semester is going on...

Yeah, I didnt really notice them until I purchased mine, but then again what do you expect, a stylish car that you can mod out for cheep and it gets great gas milage? its gona be popular. And it got Consumer Reports top picks, 89 out of 100

That's what I love about the car. Here in Phoenix there are a bunch, but you need to make your's your own. Yeah, you are gonna see those peopel driving em because it is low priced and a great value, but at the Scionetics meets, not a single one looks like someone elses. We all put our own input into them and make it ours.

Just go to town and have a blast making your tC your own special edition.
:silly:

This is a great point Zero...i remember when i got my tC there were very few things available, but now...it's gettin much better!

The more that are bought and wrecked (which is a lot!!), means cheap motors for the boosted folk, if they ever blew their engine...

yea i think i deffinatly do notice it much more because i have one and i'm obsessed with it. im just complaining. i guess i cant have a lotus elise so il just keep saving up for my baby. the ever growing popularity does kindof make me want to go more for the exterior parts first rather than making it faster.

I'm not bashing on you JpJohn, but you brought up a good point. It's that state of mind that will turn the tC into a Civic status tuner over time. I'm sure that you won't buy a 4 foot tall wing with cardboard bodykit :). People get tired of seeing cars exactly like theirs on the road, so they go for exterior mods to stand out...which is completely logical. But when it gets to the point where owners "cut corners" with their exterior mods (bondo kits...), the tC will gain a Civic-like reputation. It's unfortunate, but it's the cycle that car models go through. Again, please don't take offense, I was only elaborating on the point that you brought up JpJohn.

i see too many of them on a daily basis but hopefully alot of good aftermarket things will come out soon

I've been researching cars for a while. Getting tired of paying $3.00 plus a gal for gas for a lift equiped van that only gets only 11MPG. I really didn't think the tC was gonna be big enough for Me, two teen age boys and My wheelchair. But I really liked the car, so thought what the hell. Went to the dealership and checked one out. Funny thing is, there was more room in this than any other smaller two door I tried, including an 05 mustang.

By now I was seeing more and more of the tCs on the road. For Me a good comprimise was getting the RS2. That way, no matter how many are out there, I know I am one of only 2600

yeah there are a lot of them out near Atlanta. Matter of fact my brother and I both own one...haha. It's funny when we come to my parents house and see two scions, an avalon, a tundra, and a 06 honda accord. We love foreign.

it's funny to see the accord...
i feel pretty content... seeing the stock ones.. and the lightly modded ones... then i just feel better than myself.. since noone is boosted around here... yet.. i just gotta beat everyone to that.. and i'll be fine.

Well the accord wasn't all by itself when I had my '02 civic. The scion was my replacement car when the civic was totaled (not my fault, damn elderly). But I love that accord: two door v-6 with Nav, it's great. I would get it in manual if I had the money.

ho hum... i bought the tc right when it first came out, and back then no one knew what it was.. so it was kinda special. Now theres so many of them.. and getting even more. I say we sneak into toyota factory and destroy them all!
hehe just kidding, ppl still think its a nice car.. so i gues its ok =P

Around here there are still very few... at best I might see 2 others in a week, and I drive about 80 miles every day.

Well I see a lot of tCs here but 9 times out of 10 I have more stuff done to it then them (mine is slightly modded vs everyone else stock). So that makes me feel better. I haven't seen too many modded tCs around here... Most kids around here blow their money modding Grandma's old Chrysler Sebring.

u see a lot cause u now own one so your eye spots them more so then other cars.

i see maybe 5 or so each day. a lot less then the dozens i see of new civics on the road on a daily basis.

i think we should all just advertise for the cobalt, civic and mustang....next time some askes im goin to say " aw man i should have gotten the cobalt its so much better" hehe

I will say that I see many, many, many Mazda 3's and 6's on the road... ugh (many times the number of tC's).

All Mazda's sedan/coupes look the same! lol, but I'm not kidding (especially the front, just drive by a mazda dealership and you will see what I mean!)

I just got my 07 and almost no one at work knew what it was. I was surprised.

...For Me a good comprimise was getting the RS2. That way, no matter how many are out there, I know I am one of only 2600

x2 :bow:

i liked it back in 04 when i really was the only one in my area and saw basically NONE

I am in san diego and it feels like every other car is a TC. Then again I am yet to see a well moded one. I should go to meets and see if there is something good there.

Hawaii is Civic nation so I don't feel bad rollin in a tC. I always see them around though becasue if you have the car, you will quickly notice people who have them too!

I've gotten a few smiles from female tC owners!

Same here!!!

between where i live and where i commute i see a fm tc all the time and i've seen a couple of other ones rolling around but i see a lot more mazda 3/6s and the like than i see my car. and mine is the only nbm i've seen

I live deeep in the middle of GM country and basically if you see another foreign car its a suprise. So every once in a while i see a scion tc besides mine and i flip cuz mostly the only thing i see are cobalts and big pick up trucks.

Haha nice! I live in a suburb of Buffalo, NY and on weekdays I see maybe 2 but on the weekends I see 2-5 per day.. I don't think that's too bad! I definitely see wayyyy too many civics (new and old) around here by comparison

i almost went with BCP or the NB but finally decided on the RS2. unfortunately in the month that i've had it i've seen one in the city i work in, and one passed me downtown where i live. i see a few when i'm driving home from work but its the same ones. i love seeing tCs around, i'd rather have a car that is popular than one that ends up being a dud. i haven't seen any modded in my area (new orleans) though i haven't gone to any meets either.

But then again, there is someone who owns another RS 2.0 in the same township I live in.... Grrrrr.

:love: This picture really shows off the RS2 nicely, I like it! :clap:

how long do the RS's stay in stock? are there still many rs2's available?

My honest guess is to say that each dealership can get a certain number of them, so it may very per area, but I could be completely wrong, just a guess :lalala:

Well.. at least.. your # out of 2600 is probably lower? Trying to see the light side of this! :relief:
I love seeing other tC's in the area, but just one or two :P

tcs all over boston...they're EVERYWHERE

Also I hate how people drive them like they're ferrari's or something. Hello? Economy car? Camry engine?

There's a difference between being a "spirited" driver and looking moronic.

I live near LSU... There are between 4-6 other tCs around here...

One with just the TRD axleback, I think a girl drives it...
Asian guy with just the factory lip kit.
Friend of mine with a lowered+modded automatic.

one random RS2 and another BCP... both stockish...


not too common for a university with 35k people

i'm just down the road form you in Hammond. haven't seen too many tCs around here. though i am not on campus and i don't work in town so i dont' do a whole lot of driving around here.

I live and work in the New Brunswick area and seriously I see 3 or 4 on my 7 mile commute every morning. They are everywhere in this area. The funny thing is taht I just got an 07 and before I bought it I never noticed any on the road. Now I see them everywhere!!!! I think its also that if you have on you will notice that car more...

Most people at my office had no clue about the car... so its still something "rare" even though I see so many on the road.

I fully agree with that.. it's funny half the people I tell I have a tC they have no idea what it is, or just know its a division of Toyota, or that it's "not the ugly box" (not my words!!) I think going back to school on campus I'll probably see many more (30,000 students)

Only one Scion dealer here in Grand Rapids, so I don't really see that many.

Hey dont worry buddy, your the only guy that drives a tC and is a tool!

Ohhhhh Dis dis DIS Zing ZIng Zing Burrrrnnnn


Just kidding.

Anyways...You bought a tC not a ferrari.

Around me they are definitely getting more popular. But in other areas I have seen very very few. When my brother and I went to Ohio to pick up his mini, we didn't see one tc the entire trip.

It's a mass produced car, it's to be expected. How the hell can people expect otherwise? :rolleyes:

stop worring about how many others you see on the road and start modifiying your own. if you dont want a car everyone else has, then make yours look different, or buy an RS

i like seeing more scions on the road. the more we see, the more mods that will be available. toyota gave us a car specifically to modify it how we want. that is why i can take my whole interior apart and back together again in 40 mins.

Well said.. I agree :eyebrow:

We could all buy $36,000 tCs and only see half as many on the road...:)

Or just buy an xA, I see like 1 on the road a week. Not many out there in Central PA.

Happy birthday brotha!

Yeah. I never see them either.

i see the same one that passes me on my way home from work about twice a week. it's an older woman and her's is plainly stock.

i've seen one here and there about every week. usually they don't look as good as mine and mine isn't that much modded.

they are slowly but surely turning up. Since I've bought my car (July 2006), I've seen six, yep.

well in the bronx i see dem once in a while but they are all pretty much stock.....ive only seen one or two that are highly modded.....back in 05 when i bought my BCP there was none and all my boys were like "you got wat???...a scion???"....now in almost 07 i bought my BSP and everyone is like ohh we luv this car.....i liked my previous TC but going from BCP to BSP feels soooo much betta....i love my TC i wish there was more people around my area that i can meet up wit though

im 1 of 3 people in my school that has a tC. They aren't that popular around where I live.
