Default The tC is designed by Maserati?

I was just on the Geico web page getting a quote and it says that the tC is by Maserati. Anyone have any info about this?

Different TC. That was a Chrysler LeBaron that they had Maserati dress up. Late 80s or early 90s.

TC stood for Turbo Coupe back then. (Wish it did today too!)

EDIT: I stand corrected. Good article in the first reply.

Oh, I remember the car they are referring to. What a piece. Well I am glad Geico could hook you guys up. My current insurance is $97 a month with State Farm. Geico quoted me $186 a month, I was shocked. I must have entered something incorrectly. Anyway, not going with them and they seem to be clueless as to what a Scion tC even is which; that worries me. At least they have it under Scion. I don't think I can top the rate I have but it was worth a shot. Btw, I have a perfect record, been driving since I was 17 and been with state farm for all those years so they keep lowering my rate. I also have family with them so get that discount as well. I was just insulted to see them offer to double my payment and then ask if I wanted to buy.

my family is with them so I thought it would be resonable to go with them on my own. they quoted me $300 a month.
Geico was WAY cheaper with the same coverage. then State farm called back and was wondering why I did not go with them...

and to get my truck insured to myself it would be half of what my parents were paying for it, it would be even cheaper now.

my dad still refuses to take the offer, though.

you guys do realize.. that all insurance companies get the same Auto Symbols for every car made right?
the overal premium price you pay mostly depends on - credit, driving record, years of driving experience in US, age, if u have had at least 6 months of continuous coverage, your zipcode/fire district code and what coverage limits/deductible limits you select
