I'd stick with what'cha got. Next year the new redesigned tC will come out. Doesn't make sense to trade in only to be ____ed when the possibly better looking tC hits sales floors. Then you can decide whether to get an 'o9 tC or 'o9 Civic at that time.
But that's just me.

w/ those choices and no life style changes, stick with what you have. And definitely do not trade in for another tC.

all i have to say is that im not trading my tC or changing my headlights because i like the fact that my 07 (which is the same as your 05) was the ORIGINAL tC...i mean the 08 is cool but i like the classic tC dash light color and front headlights : )

Sweet thanks for the clarification.


As for sciontcnj, dude I agree with you about the headlights. I think the 08s are alright but as long as they are on other peoples cars.


Now the tail lights, sorry to say, but I think they are kninda fugly

Stick with your tc and save your money for a house. Your car well depreciate. But your house wont.

keep it a few more years... you might be surprised what else comes out.. ride your tc till the wheels fall off and save some money.. but if you must trade.. go with the VW GTI .

I thought Scion wanted to change body styles every 3 years? Being that the current tC body style started rolling out in the summer of 'o4, wouldn't the 'o9 be the new puppy? I'm corn-fused!! If you know something woman, TALK!!

if this were my decision, i would go ahead in and trade in my TC for the Si cause im a honda guy inside and wanted to get the Si over the TC. but even though i voted for the Si, i say that you should keep your TC and wait for something better that you'll probably like or just use the money for something better
