OK, I give up. I'm going to NY on Saturday to get a look at this thing. No matter how much I stare at it on the screen, I won't be able to decide if I like it.

 

guess this tC wasnt designed by italians

 

Fresh eyes, I have them.

It looks good but... I don't know, something seems off with the body styling. The huge C-pillar doesn't help with blind spots at all.

It's like the new xB, just blah but nice to have a refresh (finally).

 

I didnt say it looks like the Kia Forte Koup Concept





I dont know I guess it just looks similar to me.

 

I really hope Scion reps are reading this thread.

 

The extra 5th and 6th gears makes the difference.

 

You've giving it way too much credit, the first thing that popped into mind was Dodge Avenger from the looks of the rear end.

 

Anyone notice if its redline is lower?

 

watch!! 100 bucks says the front end is swappable like jdm ITR fronts lulz...


SCION IF YOUR READING THIS CALL ME... LETS DO LUNCH... WE NEED TO TALK!!!!

 

the curves from the roof to the rear end look similar to the Fuse... i suppose Scion did incorporate that concept car into this design afterall..

not very much... but.. ehh.. still meh.

 

Looks the same to me... 6350, right?

 

The more models Scion releases... the better my '06 xA looks. No manual transmission on the iQ? Looks like it will be Nissan Juke time for me. Now that is an original design!

 

certainly has some elements from the 2006 fuse concept... and I think it looks like the love child of the new corolla and the xD

 

Ya, that is about the only part I picked out. The roofline to the C Pillar. Very Fuse-like.

 

same lame low ___ redline guys.

 

not a fan..-__-

 

My 2 cents

I like how they incorporated what looks like the GFX front lip into the new bumper. I actually like the front end very much.
Engine and transmission specs seem to be up to par with the rest of the competition.

But that's pretty much where it ends... The speakers on the door look like an afterthought. I would also pity the person that would have to take the 5th seat because it really doesn't look comfortable at all. The gauge cluster and center console looks messy, the sunroofs air diffuser(?) is an embarrassment, and those tail lights are just awful. And what's up with the design on the seats?

It looks like they tried to accommodate more head space for the back seat riders by extending the roof line. But, it gives the car a less sportier look. The front of the car looks like it means business, but the back looks like a joke (mullet styling?). The interior looks modern, but cheap. Definitely looks like they just made the car to keep up with the competition.

Thanks Scion for a new look. But it seems like the car has no special appeal anymore.
FWIW, the only thing I requested for the new tC was that it looks uglier, with only a minimal upgrade in power. Looks like they listened.

 

FOR ME TO POOP ON!

No, seriously, wtf is with that thing? The headlights are on the hood! Who does that?!

 

atleast ppl can comfortably have sex in the back seat now

 

Total disappointment. The motor = fail. Would it have killed them to give the car at least 200hp? It will probably weigh over 3000lbs. And the design...this should have been the 2008 refresh not a second gen. Only thing that would save this is a factory TRD version with FI otherwise RIP tC.
