ALL NEW 2011 Scion tC coming Sept. 2010
I've seen enough copy cat designs with the Hyundai brand (Genesis looks like a BMW from the back and a cheap Benz from the front, the Elantra is a dead-ringer for a passat or jetta)
I dont want a car that looks like some other brand. And whats with Scion making all the lower grills so f-ing huge on all their cars? (xB2 refresh, xD, now this) Or making their grills look so godawful to start with (Camry anyone?)?
I also really dislike the idea of protruding headlights or tails. When they switched the tC in 08 to the projector headlights, they have that 'bump' on them. Now this has a tail light 'bump' on it. Leave those bumps to the bulky looking FJ Cruiser, not your youth oriented sport coupe.

One thing people haven't mentioned yet is the fact its harder to debadge the front Scion emblem now. The bumper surrounds the emblem and I think won't look the best w/o the badge there.
"UPDATE: Our man with the spy cam has offered up the following details about the 2011 tC:
- 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (2010 model has a 2.4-liter)
- Six-speed manual or automatic gearbox with sequential shifter
- 18-inch wheels standard (with wider tires)
- Traction and stability control (defeatable)
- Wider track for improved stance
- Flat-bottom steering wheel "one of the best feeling out there (comparable to the one used in the GTI), very thick"
- Improved seats with "good bolsters and shoulder height bolsters, too"
- Improved rear headroom (but panoramic moonroof stays)
- Overall, a "very nice feeling interior (for the price point and even above)"
- Eight-speaker stereo standard
- Single outlet exhaust ("would like nice with a dual back there") "

From the spy photo it still resembles a lot like the current tC to me, with similar body shape and lines. I was expecting a completely new redesign.
