Scion tC Lamborghini ?
I just had the funniest reaction to my tC.
My wife and I were at the Red Rock conservation area doing some photo shoots so I had my tC parked off to the side where I could get some shots wiht the rocks as the background and a family passed by and one of their children who looked to be about 8 years old asked their dad "What kind of car is that?"
and the father, after a few seconds of scrutinizing the car... trying to see inside through my 5% tint declared.....
"A Lamborghini"
(Keep in mind that I have custom emblems)
I'm not laughing at the man or the fact the he doesn't recognize the car, but just the fact that a sub 20k car can get THAT kind of a reaction is just music to my ears.
You can get a car buff's opinion on how a car looks, but I truly believe that the most honest opinion you can get is from someone who doesn't know about cars.

You know, I totally agree with you SSM_tC. The people who don't know cars who check one out and say, "I think it looks great." are definately in the majority and it's nice to hear at least some love the car.

I don't even get comments 
But I did get a stare by another FM owner with tint and wheels... I didn't know what to do so I just finished parking. It would've been weird to wave when I was so close and in the morning.
But with my long list of modifications, he probably just dismissed me as "just another" tC owner

I was getting onto the freeway in clackamas the other day (oregon) and some guy motioned me to roll down the windows... He said"is that stock?" and I said "of course not" and he said "wow... it looks great!!!" made me smile! I love it!
