I have a feeling that the next Coupe scion comes out with will be rear wheel driver. Around 180 HP. or even if they have a 2nd coupe one being Front wheel driver basically the tc replacment and another one called the tD D for Drift ..

 

This pretty much rules out the Fuse.

 

most likely it will be a fuse look alike style...

 

Yeah, good to compare a Shelby King of the Road to a tC.
There's like only three of those left.

 

Qft.

 

As long as the tC replacement has more leg room and head room, I'll be excited about the release. The tC isn't overly comfortable for someone that's 6'5".

 

I heard from a reliable source that in the very near future Scion will be unveiling a truck/suv type concept to be the 4th car in the scion lineup

 

They've been saying from the beginning they're not going to expand past 3 vehicles, so maybe it's a pick-up model of the xB2?

 

I was told by scion Corporate they are plannig on expanding to 5 models by 2010 they are planning a new xA, xb, tc, xd and an all new model Probably a car based pickup.

 

Not a smart move, the cars are already crappy enough...adding more models means less care will go into each one...I'd say for 2010, go with a RWD 3.5L v6 tC (toned-down Fuse Concept) priced in the low 20's, xB2/xB2 mini-truck (since so many of you xB owners want one so badly) priced the same as it is now, and get the damn cheap model right. It's waaaay too soon to remodel the xD...but they've missed with the xA and now the xD.

 

1. xA series = eco car
2. xB series = big body car
3. tC series = sporty car
4. Truck? I bet it'll look like the subaru baja. hahahah
5. 2seater? Probably a FWD MR2. lol

that's the only thing i can see... unless they start making motorcycles... or $16,000 airplanes...

 

5. Sedan.

The motorcycle could happen, Toyota has done business with Yamaha in the past .

 

No

1. xA 1.5L 5dr. Wagon
2. xB 2.4L 5dr. Box
3. tC 2.4L 2dr Sports Coupe (Fuse is the Replacement)
4. xD 1.8L 5dr wagon
5. New Model-Pickup mabea based off the A-Bat?

 

The xA was a failure, no sense in bringing it back...

 

That is why they shelved it but im sure scion will do a good job the second time around and to be honest I love my xA RS 3.0

 

I honestly don't think they need the xA back, Scion will just end up being another SEAT. They've already offered 4 hatchback styled vehicles in 4 years. Yes, it's one of the most popular vehicle types, but if they just keep launching hatch after hatch, they will just end up being like SEAT. They need some sort of variety in the lineup.

2010 tC - Fuse (sports car)
2010 xB2 (wagon)
2010 xT (xB2 with the back cut off, mini-truck)
2010 xE (hot-hatch)

I'd love to see the Fuse get launched, I'd buy one if it was launched early enough. My inspection tags expire 02/09 and I don't plan on passing after I turbo and the car will be paid off by then. If the next tC is appealing enough, I'd possibly buy it (if it launched by latest July 09), if not then I guess I'm S.O.L. .

 

I was told the new tc was coming out in late 2009 as a 2010 model year

 

if the next car thats replacing the tC is gonna be called a tC

 

OK, my $0.02.....

fuse to me is already out there in the form of the new xB except it's the "sedan" version. If they turn the xB into a coupe (aka the "FUSE" imo) that would be nice, but not as a "next Gen/replacement tC". SERIOUSLY!

I recommend to Scion Corp building a $30K & under PWNER.
Designed with aerodynamics & style like a JET (which I've been saying for about 3+ years.. ) built with an AWD/RWD platform that corners like butter & a powerplant that is upgrade'/mod'ible.



Perhaps even with a "TRD" version as well.

 

hahaha i thought that was the TRD version of the replacement tC
