2011 tC First Drive!
I will be driving one for a day next week. I'm thinking the only thing I will be depressed about is I possibly will trade mine in which is paid off. Payments suck I just paid mine off not four months ago. Wish they offered a high performance model with factory boost for a Si price range.
With a little more R&D the Vortech/TRD supercharger could be a great option which would still be easily upgradle for more boost and better management. If only....

The interior is very similar to the 2010. Many people wonder why the interior is not "hooked-up". This brings to mind the slogan; "become one of us, by becoming none of us". Scion creates their vehicles designs specific to the idea that they are meant to be personalized. The cost is pure and lower than most vehicles because they do not include a bunch of extra features. The idea is that you choose from a somewhat a la carte menu so that your Scion is specific to you and to others. If you need ideas on how to improve the interior please let me know. I have many vendors and scion accessories available and I am happy to share any of that information with you.

^Yes, and it will fit very wide wheels for its class.
The car is pretty cool. Still waiting to see it in a different colour, but none the less VERY different from the old.

not even close!
pics dont do it justice, you really need to see it in person, get all different angles and actually sit in it and drive it!!! its amazing. scion did it right this time.
wait till all you DIYers see the suspension set up, if you think doin coils on a tC now is easy (after getting used to it) you're gonna die when you see the new stuff. how does only 2 bolts in the back sound!!!

Coilover companies state they will be at least 6-8 months after launch until we see decent product. I emailed KW this morning about it and that was the word I was given. Tein might be out faster because they did the FiveAxis car...too bad Tein is junk.
Looking forward to seeing what people do with them though. I can say the TRD 19's look awesome in person!
The rear end is almost identical to a Rav4. Its nothing exciting.

im in love with the rear suspension set up on this one, it looks much better then the last one, but then again i see this as it being able to go lower w/o sacrificing ride comfort as much.

Its a very simple design, that's all I see. But I want to start tuning it before I make full judgement.
I'm wondering that too. The only one I've seen is "purple" and its not attractive at all. I have white on order, but may change it to black when I see it in person.
I just wish they weren't pushing this "Cement" color so much. I mean hell why would anyone be excited about a color called Cement.
Is information available on the entire line up of colors? Anything exciting?

@ 745l I'm hoping the tC can be slammed cus that's what I plan on doin to it. As low as possible for me and stanced with the right sized wheels. And I found out stock wheels are 18x7.5 +39 tge wheels I have picked out should sit nicely and wfc on the car
