I think the article was referring to stock tC's... Or the 99.9% out there with a fart can and a wing. Will this thread ever die?

 

The thread is like a cockroach. But if the article was referring to a stock car.....how is a stock car a "poser". A stock looking tC does not presume to "look" fast. It doesn't have styling cues to suggest it was fast. There is no definition on what the article determines to be a "poser". It just uses the word without describing in what context it's using the word. You can be a "poser" for many reasons. Instead of the author identifying what he/she thinks is a "poser", it leaves it up to the reader to come up with their own interpretation of what a "poser" is. Stock cars are not posers unless the styling of that vehicle suggest that it's fast/quick/agile more than what it really is. The tC does not have such stylistic cues. It's just a good looking car and does not try to imply that it's a race/sports car. It's a sporty car, not a sports car.

 

99% of the kids with swoopy hair, skinny jeans and a brand new skateboard are posers; kids wearing jewelry, listening to green day and saying they are punks are posers; cars...... Are inanimate objects, which as far as I know can't pose as anything ;)

 

95 percent of the tc owners on here are posers... jokes

 

Bingo! That's why I got mine

Yea I know this quote is really old but I'm new so the he'll with it

 

The tC is just plain beautiful. Just very easy on the eyes and drives incredible. Even to this day, after 4 years and 70,000 miles later, I get excited to drive it back and forth to work. It's a fun car and with the few mods towards my N/A build, that one hour trip makes it even better.

 

The tc is a nice car. Comparing the engine to say the new focus....its a much better engine. It is sporty and has useable room due the roof line. If it is not what you like you need to step it up to the next level of say european car. No "posers" there. They are real.

 

Not to be a dick, but how is it a better engine than the new focus in any fashion?

 

Wow...this thread is still going.

Well here is my latest contribution to have a "Poser" car.

The Blue car in the vid is a 2010-2011 BMW M3. The Yellow car is a Type R Integra. The red car behind me, is a Civic Hatch with a k20 swapped in it.

lol ^^^ well played sir, great way to back up the tC community

 

TC has more horsepower first of all; without looking at the actual specifications the TC has more feeling of torque. Additionally, not with the engine, but the TC has a six speed manual transmission while the new Focus is a five speed manual. Who builds five speed manuals anymore? Thanks for asking.

 

Plenty more where that came from to...

 

Toyota does. Along with a 4-speed auto in the "new" 2012 Yaris.

Sounds like a honda in it's days.

But I do agree with that article. Almost everytime I see a TC drive by the owner is always driving it haaaard

I swear they are becoming just as anoyying as the civic drivers

 

over here in so cal, every other person I see driving a Tc is a chick. Just a regular daily driver...

 

I think that the new TC is alot better. I think the old one was a little bit, poser-ish.

 

Adding one more gear and 19hp doesn't make it any less of a poser.

Back from the dead! Wooohooo!
