Default I was thinking about the tC engine...

ok i was thinkin...and could Scion really put a 2.4, realisticly, into a sport coupe the size of a civic...and still make it cost under 20k? realisticly, that doesnt make sense to me...i think we'd be lucky if we get a 2.0......but thats only me...what do you guys/gals...think...

Imho, I think the 2.4 is gonna be in the tC. The R&D cost is almost nonexistant because of it's widespread use in the Camry. I think thats also why the xA & xB are so inexpensive (echo parts)

I think the base tc will be well under 22. Im hoping it will be around 22 with the s/c. The last word I heard from my rep was "starting @ 17,999." :D

Any confirmation regarding the horsepower figures on the supercharged TC? I've heard estimates of around 200-210hp coupled to a 6-speed manual.
