'Steer clear of anyone driving a Scion tC'
http://editorial.autos.msn.com/artic...umentid=800518
'Here's some highway safety advice from the insurance industry: Steer clear of anyone driving a Scion tC. This sporty, 161-horsepower coupe from the Toyota-owned youth brand tops a list of vehicles with the highest frequency of collision claims — that is, it's the car on the road today most likely to be involved in a crash.
The list is based on data compiled by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HDLI), a non-profit organization supported by the insurance industry and located in Arlington, Va. It includes cars and light trucks that are one to three years old, and rates each model based on the number of examples of that model that are on the road. The HLDI says it receives a monthly flow of claims data from 30 insurance companies that represent about 80 percent of privately owned and insured vehicles. Each model is assigned a ranking that is relative to the average for all vehicles. With a ranking of 165, the 2005-2007 Scion tC has 65 percent more insurance claims than the average.'

Yes, relatively so.
The tC costs the same as a new 370Z would.
I only pay $200 a year for full coverage on my sportbike.
My tC costs $800 for full coverage, $500 deductible.
Other cars in this category would be about $600 a year.
