SCION tC RECEIVES FRESHENED STYLING
AND STANDARD APPLE iPOD CONNECTIVITY FOR 2008
The Scion tC, the best-selling vehicle in the Scion lineup, raises the bar in the
sports coupe segment as it receives sharp styling revisions, new standard equipment
and safety features for 2008.
Freshened Exterior and Enhanced Interior
The 2008 tC is distinguished by the new Scion family front fascia, a menacing
horizontal combination of headlights and grille. For the tC this includes a new upper
mesh grille, lattice lower grille and projector-type low beam headlights with black trim.
The tC also receives eye-catching rear tail lights similar in style to the headlights with
round combination lamps.
Inside, the tC receives a deep orange combination meter on the instrument
panel, silver-colored accents on the door assist grips and center cluster, updated seat
fabric and Pioneer subwoofer.
Azure Pearl and Black Cherry Pearl exterior colors were replaced with Sizzling
Crimson Mica and Wave Line Pearl.
Standard iPod Connectivity
Apple iPod connectivity is standard across the Scion lineup for 2008. Scion’s
standard 160-watt maximum output Pioneer AM/FM/CD audio system features a head
unit with iPod control. This head unit integrates track, artist and album information from
the iPod into a one-line display on the head unit’s screen. Connectivity is achieved by
simply plugging the iPod into a port via a connector cable, providing outstanding sound
quality through the car’s stereo system and constant power to the iPod. Music is
controlled through the head unit and steering wheel audio controls. A standard mini-jack
port also allows users to listen to their portable music collection through the tC’s Pioneer
speakers.
Since many Scion customers add in-car entertainment systems to their vehicle,
the tC comes standard with rear head unit outputs allowing for the addition of external
amps to boost power to the front and rear speakers, and subwoofers.
The tC’s optional premium audio system adds one more feature to the
standard head unit, the ability to download “skins” to play on the LCD faceplate.
Customers can download images, four-second video clips and eight-second
movies from Pioneer’s website. In addition, Pioneer software allows customers to
burn their own images and movies onto a CD and upload them onto the available
head unit.
Both the standard and premium head units retain key Scion audio system
features such as Scion Sound Processing (SSP) where listeners can choose
from three pre-set equalizer settings, satellite radio compatibility, a usercustomizable
welcome screen, MP3 and WMA capability, Automatic Sound
Leveling (ASL) and Sound Retouch Technology (SRT), which provides clearer
CD sound quality. Both systems will also feature six speakers: two tweeters and
speakers in each door panel.
Advanced Safety
Like all 2008 Scions, the tC comes standard with front dual stage airbags,
front seat-mounted side airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, tire pressure
