Default 2010 Scion tC Press Release

SCION tC RETAINS EXCELLENT VALUE FOR 2010 WITH NO INCREASE IN PRICE

TORRANCE, Calif., April 29, 2009 - - The Scion tC sports coupe retains its value and carries into the 2010 model year unchanged and with no increase to its base price. The 2010 tC will arrive at dealerships in May.

The base manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for the tC is $17,000 when equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, and $17,800 for the four-speed automatic. The tC receives one new exterior color, Nautical Blue Metallic, which replaces Blue Ribbon Metallic.

The tC comes mono-spec with a generous list of standard features including 17-inch alloy wheels; panorama moonroof; reclining and 60/40-split rear seats; 160-watt maximum output Pioneer AM/FM/CD audio system with iPod connectivity; Pioneer subwoofer; side mirrors with turn indicators; engine immobilizer; driver’s seat with adjustable height and seat bottom angle; power steering, windows, door locks and mirrors; cruise control; remote keyless entry; air conditioning; four-wheel anti-lock brakes with electronic brake assist; dual front passenger airbags; front seat-mounted side airbags; front and rear side curtain airbags; driver’s knee airbag; and tilt steering wheel with audio controls.

Like all Scions, the tC can be personalized with an array of accessories including alloy wheels, spoilers, Pioneer Premium audio system, Scion navigation system, under dash and cupholder illumination, shift ****, sport pedals and TRD performance products.

The delivery, processing and handling (DPH) fee for all Scion models is $670 and is not included in the MSRP. DPH fees for vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota (SET) and Gulf States Toyota (GST) may vary.

GRRR! Five model years later, it's still the same car. So much for the 3-4 year timeline.

And switching back to NBM? WTH?

I couldn't be happier with this information because I know when a new model is released i'll want it so this just gives me another year in which to pay down my 07'.

As long as sales remain constant or even dip some on a current tried and true version is better than introducing a new model during bad economic times.

Actually in times like this, R&D is the best place to put your money. If you don't keep up with tech or have anything new or up to date or exciting to sell when things turn around, you might as well just flush yourself down the toilet.

agreed, but this new TC is starting to sound like the "new" supra. They tease and tease, but never come though. Wow I think that last part sounded a little off.

Not surprised. With the economy I can see why they are keeping a well selling vehicle in the line up and not introducing something new that could flop.

The problem here lies the fact that most of the OG Scioners here are 5 years into their cars, and will be looking for a replacement before 2011 hits the floors.

Kia is rolling out the Soul and the C competitor ( name slips my mind ).

Nissan will have the Cube out by then.

I voiced my opinion to those in charge, and they said not to worry, 2010 is going to be a great year full of surprises. SURPRISE! not only is the tC going to be made for another year, but the replacement wont be out for at least another year if not longer. fail.

The Kia one is the Koup (I think that's what they called it). It looks like a Civic though - the front at least.



And the Soul really isn't that bad. The Sport model isn't too bad and would have to be the one I got if I were to consider.
