I am in the market for a new car. Is next year's TC going to be a new generation comparable to the XB-XB2?

 

So far, the info for the 2008 is barely out, I have not seen nor heard anything about the 2009 tC or even if there will be one or not.

 

when i bought my 07 tc my dealer told me that the fuse was gona come out in 09 or 10... so maybe the "new" tC will be the fuse and they will stop the tC... just a thought...

 

If that's the case, the current tC's would hold value very nicely...

 

there was an article somewhere that the next generation of tc's will be 2010 and they will be out for summer 09. they don't have complete design yet but they are trying to make look like the fuse.

 

i wouldn't mind that one bit, haha

 

Neither would I considering I just bought my car to last me the next 5 to 6 years.

 

Originally, Scions policy was to not make 2nd+ generations of a vehicle. We see that this year, they changed that with the xB. It seems that Scion is going to be unpredictable for a bit. If I had to guess, the restyle of the tC will last through 09 but, we'll find out when Scion either leaks or tells us. Till then, I wouldn't concern myself with it.

 

Well I don't think it was to "not make 2nd generations"... but more of to refresh them at short intervals (3-4 yrs) whether it be by a new model or a redesign - which we saw both of this year.

Following the same interval, the tC would be due to change in some way for the 2009 model... but it could be 2010. The xB had no 2007 model in preparation for the 2008... so there might not be a 2009 tC in preparation for whatever comes out in 2010. Who knows.

There are lots of ways this can go, but with the whole Miami thing for the xB and xD, you can bet the tC or whatever it'll be (xP?) will be a big deal.

 

Waiting more than a year is going to kill me

 

man if it is the fuse im so selloin my tC for one they are so freggin sick!

 

shouldnt it be coming out next year because the tC is only a year younger then the xA/xB so the next gen should come out the year after the next gen xA/xB.

I have heard that it'll come out in 09 which is really surprising for me.

 

what about the xP? that scion pick-up truck model? like like the subaru baja/brat?

then again...that doesn't fit the scion lineup which so far is all front wheel drive, 4 cyl hatchbacks with 4 spd autos or 5 spd manuals.

i'd like to see the tc replaces with a true sport coupe with rear or all wheel drive. but i know that won't happen. it will most likely be replaced by something like the fuse since the xb2 looks alot like the t2b concept. the tc's successor will probably look alot like the fuse, but called something like... the xF? or who knows because the FX35/45 is the name of the infiniti suv.

 

So what your saying is we should all by stock right now B/c I too only along with almost all the people on here see this company going up in value and credibility as Toyota continues to climb and dominate the markets. From what I've heard, Toyo's bugged up new Tundra is still competitivly out selling Domestics compared to sales last year. Not sure if that is 100% true but it is after all Toyo so anything is possible.

I, however, would like the Fuse to have a v6 option with an optional gearbox, rearwheel driven. Would kinda be like ok 16K gets you i-4 VVT-i with 4spd a/t // 5spd m/t and then 21k gets you v6 VVT-i with 5spd a/t // 6spd m/t I don't think its too much to ask for and it will kinda prevent what happend to the org. tC where it just came a cheap grad. car gift.

And to those of you that got your tC as a grad. gift and mod and participate in the forums then you are exempt from above comment

 

sorry but that would completely negate part of the scion structure in that all scions are monospec, as in they all come from the factory identically equiped with the only differences being transmission and color and previous models with and without side air bags.

if they offered a more expensive model with a bigger engine and tranny and such, that would completely obliterate another scion hallmark.

trust me, nobody wants a scion with a v6 and rear wheel drive more than i do, but even know that will never happen. sorry to smash your dream.

 

I can dream DA*N IT! You always crush them drax But seriously, Scion may be about affordable, but what about that small percentage that wants to make a true tuner. Do we get no love? W/E Toyo and Scion have me in their grips, I'll go with w/e they put out LOL although a xP would be cool, just saw a Mitsu Raider??? I think that was what it was called, but I picked it apart, needed to be just a little shorter maybe lowered a tad and "sported" out a little and that would be a nice model for the xP to mimick

 

barf! the mitsubishi raider? you mean the dodge dakota? it is just a rebadged pickup truck, not a sport truck like the xp concept. but yeah, i could totally dig a scion pickup like a japanese tuner version of the el camino, or ranchero.

 

Perhaps you just missed my " "sported" out " segment in the above post I've seen the concept that was floating on here, looks sick, however, if we were going for a usable pickup then what I was envisioning would be nice and usable and Scionish.

 

well, since toyota doesn't make the tacoma x-runner anymore, scion should grab it! wouldn't that make a killer scion? the scion TxR? lol, i would get that!

 

Hell yeah....wow talk about a threadjacking here...
