Default Back of TC = blah

This is my second "I don't like the way the TC looks from the back" thread.
..and I still don't.

let me know what you think...

Should've been made this way! Right?:


Original (SuperWhiteTC450's car):


Scion, are you listening?!

Sorry, I'm a big design geek. don't mind me.

why? the car is round, not sharp. the sharp back end you chopped looks out of place.

it looks a little to short for a car as long as the tc....

it could use another 6-8"s if it were up to me...

but hey, it looks nice, leave it round

it doesn't look out of place. look at the original's rear bumper... do you see that sharp point as it goes up and takes a left?.. then it gets all round on you with the blaahh lights.

eh i like the original way the tC looks, only complaint is the back should have been extended longer so it'd have some some real fine curves like the g35.

come on guys, u can't be serious . look at how agressive this looks compared to the orig. ...



haha neo. im not going crazy (ok maybe just a little, lol). sorry if it came out that way. anyway, the original one looks out of place to me... the rear light's top line is coming from absolutely nowhere - and is going nowhere. it has no relation to any other line. i guess i have a thing for sharp, confident lines.

i need some sleep. see ya'll later..

nothing wrong with it looking like a civic. honda just beat toyota to it, lol. they (honda) did a great job with the back of that car (only reason I didn't get it was because the interior looked like crap). but don't get me wrong, i think the overall look of the tc is great, it's just not as nice as it could have been. ok, im really going to bed this time..

You can see a Honda a mile away and the back is very similar to that of an Accord. There is not a week that does not go by that someone asks me what kind of car I drive. But no one is going to ask what you are driving if you drive a Civic.

Don't spoil a good thing.
