Lets just hope they dont put a glass roof on it again.

Having said that: if you people get a real-life RWD sports car for your "remake" after WE Gen 1 people got a baby Highlander with a gland problem, I am SERIOUSLY going to key some cars.

I'll believe it when I see it. Word is the next tC is based off the fuse (fwd), not the co-op with subaru. BUT if by some chance, some tiny little chance, it comes here...i'll get it in a heart beat!

Give me a lightweight, 2+2 (2 seater would be fine too), RWD that weights around 2700lbs and has 200hp. Oh, and a 6sp please. I'm sick of buzzing at 3500rpm on the highway....
Rumor has it that Nissan is also working on something similar, so if the Scion comes out bloated like the Genesis I know who I'll be cross-shopping.

Can withstand a lot of weight - sure.
Bad design - yes.

It probably won't be as safe as other Scion's, if you're just looking for a tC with 200lbs removed... and it probably won't be as cheap as other Scion's, if you're looking for a 6sp 200hp engine.
