3 - 4pg Car and Driver Article..
Not too sure if this was posted already or not.. but in next month's issue of Car and Driver, they absolutely love the tC... In fact, a friend of mine who thought the car was "ugly" when I first got it completely changed his mind about it after he read the article. Granted it kind of shows he can't exactly think for himself but hey.. great car aye?
I don't think the article is up at caranddriver.com yet, but look for it on the newsstands/coming in your susbscriptions, it's a GREAT article. I even learned a bit from it :oops:

I assume the test car used for the IS300 comparison had the TRD supercharger installed....
Scion tC:
0-60: 7.4 sec
1/4 mi: 15.7 sec @ 88 mph
Lexus IS300:
0-60: 7.3 sec
1/4 mi: 15.5 sec @ 90 mph

see that can't be right... the IS300 manual has a 0 - 60 in 6.8 while someone said the tC manual is 7.4. were they comparing two autos?
