I am thinking this is a BAD IDEA.. The tC does NOT need to be like the xB.. I mean WTF. How about making it Lighter and add some power via Turbo from the factory, an Extra gear alla 6 speed tranny, that sits on a rearwheel drive platform with a Limited Slip in the rear end, or even better yet make it All wheel drive and call it an All Trac like in the 90's. Please GOD let them bring back the GT4 Celica (All Trac Turbo in the USA)

AWD would be more practical but its a lot more expensive and if the car is in the low to mid 20's there a lot of WRX's and STI's going for that price.
I can see in a few years the AWD market being huge

wow
TC owners crack me up
i can tell you haven't really dealt with AWD
AWD does not put less power to the wheels
your thinking 4WD, there is a difference
from the crank, it diverts the power to all 4 wheels rather then just 2
4WD puts down less power to the wheels but increases torque
ive delt with all automotive platforms in the past,
MR2
Evo
Jeep
+ a long list of other FWD cars
but then again, i guess you've owned all those cars also
but back on topic,
the wife says she thinks it could be the back of the car
hmmmm interesting........
