is it a tC or BMW????
I just wanted to post a quick story about what happened to me the other day. I was strolling the streets with my co-worker in the tC and decided to hit up a few dealerships along the way. You know to show off the tC off course. Well on the way we were about to pass a BMW dealer and decided what the heck, lets pay-em a visit. We start driving through the lot and notice the never-ending eyes following our every move. Sales people and customers alike. Of course I had to stop and park right in the front. So I parked and got out to go in to "get a brochure" like that's what I really was there for. And on the way I had this lady stop and ask me if that was the new BMW 1 series. I cracked a smile and confidently told her "No maam this is the new toyota scion tC. You could see it in her face that she was blown away by how much it looked so luxurious. So I continued my mission for the brochure and was asked by a few sales reps about the vehicle, which they told me they had heard and seen pics of , so I let them look in it and mess with it for a bit then I headed back. To make a long story short, you really can't judge a book by it's cover. Be it a 50,000 car or a 15,000 car. Also if anyone gets a chance to, drive them into dealers and watch with amazement what happens. The tC is like eye candy for people who have never seen one. ---- Well I think my next visit will be to sit side by side to the infamous Infinity G35. Till then tC-ya later

toyota engineers did a great job on tC. they make it not only look like, but also feel like a car that is twice or three times of its price. i mean, when i saw the pic, it wasn't impressive. but once i saw it in person, it just blow me away.

whats funny is that when i was test driving the 5spd after i test drove the auto the next day, i sait that to the scion guy that was riding with me. that i felt as if the car was way more luxurious than what it was stickered at. on the inside it feels like it should be a 40k car, but it only 16k!! hahahah!!!
toyota f*cking rules!!!
I have got to get one of these cars before they jack up the price!
