^^ U ok Scion_Jon...What da heck???

08 tC Still looks Ebay-ish!!!!...Blahhhhhh...lol

 

hahaha ebay crap made it mainstream now lol

 

I thought it was really a 2008 scion tC after reading the news from leftlanenews.com. Soon after I read that, I sent an email to Scion through the customer service email form available at scion.com and here is the reply that i received.

Thank you for contacting Scion.

We appreciate your interest in Scion. Unfortunately, there is no information on a 2008 tC. You may be referring to the 2007 tC 3.0 Release Series that will be in show rooms sometime next week. Or, you may be referring to our Next Generation models: the 2008 xB which will be available late Spring 2007, or the 2008 xD which will be available in the Summer. We have links to info on all of these models down below.

I read news about new 2008 scion cars from leftlanews.com and wondering when is the 2008 scion tC will be available at the local dealer ?
Thank you.

 

when i first saw the pics, first thoughts were that the pics were photo choped, and if so very weel at that

 

odd it doesn't say itll bring over the AVN headunit like it does for the xD and xB

 

I really dig the tail lights.

I don't like the head lights though. They are 'fake', if not in look then for reals. Fake stuff makes the car look cheaper then it is. I think bottom line, you combine the fake look of those head lights with the grill and you get a more econo looking car.

I will be ordering those tail lights though. Maybe that deck. =)

 

can someone post a pic of the deck pleaz

 

I actually like my 07 more then the new 08.

 

i like my 06 better that the 07's and the 08

 

The current grills are muchhhh nicer....the tails are ONLY okay...and the headlights/projector looks funky....I'd prefer it to be like the smooth rounded projectors....I'd take the o7 RS tho...the o5 FM of mines is getting old...Plus I still want them steering wheel controls.

 

would be nice if they offered paint matched interior pieces

 

I would have settled for a reliable engine and supercharger that would last more than 16,000 miles...

 

yeah the 06 tc is way better then the 07 fer sur

 

bah! stupid ebay people making scion think that crap actually looks good on the car!

pre-2008 tCs win all.

 

06 RULEZ!!!!.....hehe

 

I'll put hard cash down that its the same decks available to the 08' xB and xD. So head to scion.com/nextgen and take a gander at their deck options... oh, and aftermarket decks are always better than stock.. pioneer or not.

Headlamps are weak.. too bubbley.. makes me think Neon. And, No, those are NOT projectors (at least projectors like you'll see in the 08 xB, or the mazda 3, which is weak that the 3 has em, and the tC doesnt)

Tail lamps are nice. they look aftermarket as well, however im not sure they're for me.
Grill = Dumb
the hood against headlamps thing: my tC looks like that.. yeah its weak, but whaddaya gunna do?

Overall, im pretty sure this is just a very minor update to 1st gen tC's so it doesnt feel left out with the xA and xB make overs (tho im not sure why adding a different letter to the xA will make it sell any better, and dont get me wrong, i like the xA's just fine )

 

^^^

ya the grill is dumb, it looks liek they got a plastic sheet and just drilled holes in it, swiss cheese style

 

its the same grill they put in the other ones now.

 

Agreed, the `08 headlights are not projectors. The ebay ones even have projectors! It is merely a freshening of parts that appear to be compatible with MY `05-`07, and not worth a trade-up to a whole new tC.
