Default Is this my car?

Hello all.

I am hoping to downone of these in White with tax money. I have been so indecisive as to which cars I really want. I have had many decisions as to which car I really want and have settled down with the tc.

I am just curious as to what's the newest year I can get with making sure all the aftermarket parts available now fit? Would I be safe with 07? 6? or 5?
Also, If I remember correctly, the TC has a supercharger that can be fitted on right? Is there or what is the difference between that and a turbo? Just need a simple understandable answer.

05-06 has the most aftermarket support, but the 07 is catching on. IMO the S/C is if u want to maintain your warranty, nothing else. Turbo seems to be the way since tends to give less problems. IMO turbo in the tC> S/C in the tC

I say you wait for a bit.

The next-gen tC is going to be worth the wait.

Well, that's what the guy that's designing the next-gen tC
said... SCTCC knows what I'm talking about!

Are there any pictures or specs about it?
Also, I settled with the tc because it's what I can afford. My guess is the next gen wouldn't be in this price range?

Wait, it's not this one is it?

If so, it isn't setting well with me. It looks like a rounded dodge magnum to me..

No thats the fuse concept car. The 09 xR is going to based off it. I don't think the 08 tC is going to have many changes to it.

So.Cal tC Club and I had a meet last week or so.

Blagh blagh blagh, day went on and after the cruise there were about
7 or so of us left and we decided to drive up to a spot in Long Beach
which had a awesome view of the city (Signal Hill). After we parked and
chatted away, some random middle aged guy came up to us with two kids and
asked if we were a part of a tC club or something.

Phil, the President, gave him a card and gave him a little info about us.

The guy said...

"That's pretty cool. I'm working on the next tC and I'd like to know what you
guys would want on it."

Pretty cool eh?

All of us stated different things and the only thing that sounded like it was
actually going to be on the car was a 6-speed transmission. He was also inquiring
about putting an LSD on the tC too.

When he left, he handed us a card.

I don't remember what it exactly said, but it said something along these lines...

Sounds great!

Any thoughts or ideas or release? End of year?
Or is there a thread about this information already? If so point me the way.
