that would make the tC perfect for ya what would they be?

The glass roof and the memory seat for me.
It gets up to 100+ degrees in the summer where I live and not very peeps are gunna be drive'n my car. :D The tC prolly come in a couple 100 pounds lighter too.
The tC still seem like its gunna be a great car though.

Umm, leave the moonroofs but take away the "all glass roof" and make the side profile look les "hyundai". I still like it though.

Oh and about the names, what's wrong with it? That's the way Mercedez, Infinity, Lexus does it, whats wrong with it? I'd rather drive a "tC" then a "autostarus" or some stupid ____/

How about Avensis Coupe (base on the Avensis, it's a coupe). Majority have never heard of the award winning Avensis.

a real name. i've never seen anyone get excited about the alaphabet. im tired of car brands trying to all sound like BMW and merc by having all letter and number names. things like corvette and viper and hemi, those words stir up some emotion. the 8234mxwy doesnt really inspire me.

I'd give it AWD and the sequential gearbox from the MR-S... actually, a better sequential gearbox than that one.

Being realistic...

The only other thing I would ask for are factory HIDs. I would glady pay an extra $500 in addition to whatever price they announce.

They do make a car kinda like the tC in RWD...It's called the G35c.

Ugh, I hate HiD's. If they were standard that would just mean I'd have to pay even more money to get rid of them.
