ummm... that looks like the same car just with the AIT racing N-1 hood... and why in gods name would you wanna get rid of those little side vents on the bumper... those are great for CAI's... all you do is pop that little plastic insert out.

I think they're both fake.

WTF is the point of a hood scoop? I understand that the Celica used the scoop to cool the exhaust manifold, but the tC's exhaust manifold is closer to the radiator and not like in the Celica where it's nearly touching the firewall.

Someone posted this before but its nice to see it again. I think it'd be better w/o the scoop but that's just me. I don't know if any of you read the comments on it but "someone from Scion" posted that there's gonna be a refreshing and the tC is gonna have HIDs and LED tails.

i think the bottom picture is a fake it looks like they took a regular tc added on the new camry front end and just made it fit, also looks like and intercooler in the bottom grill maybe their thinking of added a turbo?

turbo is a no no unless you want the car to be jacked up in price over the 20k's

It was posted long time ago and came to the conclusion it was photoshoped!

Here is the proof:
As I said before this front end is very nice and I hope it gets done but I'm sorry to say it's a photochop and here is the evidence:





1. Same angle and background
2. Same wheels and I higly doubt those are stock wheels
3. No Stickers
4. Lexus Headlamps
5. "T" Badge
6. Caldina Hood Scoop


and here is the link to the other thread:

The way I understand it, as the various models process through thier respective shelf lives, they will be replaced with entirely new models, not restyled versions... I also understand the tC we currently see will continue to the 08 model year.. I have been wrong before though...

Yeah a thousand dollar headlight is what a "value" car needs unless Toyota can mass produce it by having a dozen 5 year olds in a sweat shop in China do that.
