Personally, I still liked the old glass one they had before. They DID manage to fix the shattering problems of the 05 tc so why not stick with it?

This is a good change. Mine shattered twice, once from a falling tree branch, other time cause unknown. Over $400 to fix. Toyota covered 1/2 of cost second time. Both times after the "fix"

Possible tradeoff: Open sunroof may be noisier with the new one.

Anyone else think white is an absolutely awful color for this design?

Of all of the colors to show off...

More shots of the tC. Including Engine and Interior shots. These shots make the interior look even cheaper.

The Playstation generation hearts them some GT-R, but they don't have jobs so they can't afford one. Solution: The 2011 Scion tC apes some of the fast Nissan's styling cues, but the rest is crappy Toyota parts.

Oh wow, I just noticed. The A-Pillar is plastic or unpainted.

Those tail lights really are gross.

Has anyone else thought of this when they look at the door panel?

Do we know that yet? I mean, I know "cement" is the new color... but FM has always been a really dark gray and I haven't seen a color list for this yet.

I did find something I liked about the interior, but at the same time didn't like as well.

The air vents are two different shapes. No consistency with the interior at all. Some are horizontal slots another is a round vent. Looks tacky.

But I do like the round vent honestly, so much easier to use. But they should have gone with a horizontal slotted one for uniformity.

No BSP listed, probably just straight gloss black, and no FM. They do have some more interesting colors listed though.
Ack beat me to it.
