i drove up to canada yesterday.of course the tc was washed and waxed for the trip.little did i know that there were no tc's in canada,i parked her on the street.and i couldnt believe how many cars stopped to look and take pictures.i almost turned the alarm on a couple of kids in a honda civic because they were there droolin for a long time.it was then i realized exactly how proud i was to have her.i had to take a picture of her with the canadian flag blowing across the street to always remind me of that day.anyone else have an experience like this?

 

wow that must have been one hell of an experience man

props to the tC

 

thats what people have said in the past lol

 

Remember our glass roofs are not Canada's Highway Safety approved. That's why Scion isn't sold up there.

I'm huge VW Beetle fan and I have book with a new Beetle concept of the Bug having full glass roof. Book claimed the idea from VW got cut due to safety issues.

I'm thinking its caused by Canada.

 

really wow i didnt know that.kool to learn. how about in europe? i know toyota is telling us to be extremely hesitant to sell our scions to people going to shipp it over to europe

 

that is awesome!

 

wow. Kinda makes me want to drive up to canada in my tC.

 

Hahahha... thats fun. I might be one of the only tC's in Canada when I move back this year.

 

Well you would have company, I just got my 2007 tC a few weeks back and I live in Toronto. I have seen many xB's but not one tC yet.

 

i want to see that picture! bump for pics!

 

i dont think they had srt-4's or evo vii's due to the FMIC issue. Really strict emissions laws.

 

i drive up to canada every year.. havent made it up there with th tc this year since i just got it.. its about 8-9 hours from where i live

 

reminds me of when i first got the tC and everybody was like wth is that? it looks awesome.

 

According to the research I had done, the 05 and 06 tC's were not allowed due to the front bumper not passing crash testing and the 08's are not allowed because the tC's are not equipped with immobilizers. After a September 2007, all cars must have immobilizers. So currently, only the 2007s are admissable to be imported or sold in Canada.

 

wtf? the tC has a 4 out of 5 in every crash test catagory. and all tC's except for the tC spec have engine immobilizers. that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. unless that crash test dealie has to do with pedestrian safety like cars sold in europe do.

 

how are u going to get it registered?

me and a couple fellow team ascension members are going to be a part of driven to perform... oh man after hearing this, i feel pretty good about my car =D.. they have xB... and i think im the only tC thats going up there for the show

 

Not sure how I will get it registered. I am originally a Canadian citizen that move to the USA. Family moved and I was too young to stay behind. So I will cross that bridge when I get to it. Sorry for the late reply. I was out with friends relaxing. Trying to figure out how to pay my bills since no one wants to hire even though they say they are hiring. Hahahha... The economy is messed. Good ole Florida. Hahaha... Love the state hate some of the laws.

 

i've seen a couple tc's up here now the 2007 models onward made the list of allowable vehicles in canada. there's still quite a markup on the used car market, about $20k for an 07. us canadian xbs have our fair share of stares too

 

i just came back from Aruba...there were 2 white tc's there. one stock and lowered on s-techs...(i spoke with the guy) and another with the enkei upgrade rims...after taxes and import fees they paid almost 28 k for their cars!!

 

I live in detroit and drive over to Windsor from time to time and I get the same thing.

Funny how they can have Skylines but not tC's.
