Have any of you guys been to Geico's website recently? I went there today to get a quote on a tC and when I got to the Vehicle Selection Form, it listed the 3 Scion vehicles as follows:

tC by Maserati, Hatchback 2 door
xA, Hatchback 4 door
xB, Utilty 4x2 4 door

What is the connection to Maserati here?

 

There is no connection. Mistake on their part. Someone should email them.

 

HAHAHA! You mean none of you guys KNEW?!

 

They must have JUST added it this weekend. I've been checking Geico's site consistently since I got my tC to get a quote and they just haven't had the car listed at all. They've had the xA and xB for a while though.

So while they may have f-d it up a little, it's about damn time they recognize it exists.

 

There used to be a Chrysler TC built by Maserati in the 80's
That's what they're calling out in their site.
It was a flop of a car that never sold well in it's model run.
I almost forgot about that car till this was posted. I think it was a guzzied up Dodge Shadow convertible, or something like that.

the tC is not listed on their website but I'm insured by geico and they found my car on their computers...they had some trouble at first. I think they have this car as make: Toyota, model: Scion.

 

"gussied up" Chrysler LeBaron coupe.

 

Yes, that's what it was, a LeBaron convertible, with at removable hard top and Tbird-like porthole "opera" windows. The shadow was the cheaper smaller car from Chrylser/Dodge, at that time.
Thanks for the correction.

Yeah, the shadow was what we used to call "kindling" ... they were the ones that spontaneously ignited into flames... I know three in particular that burned to the ground but, im straying from the topic

 

you know what's funny, i drove a suped-up chrysler lebaron convertible before my tC great until it hit 85,000 miles. tranny blew and my airbag ,yes airbag, doesn't work anymore.

 

np. i remember because i worked with someone who had one (always thought it was an odd choice of a purchase). coincedentally, i had a "shadow" in like 91/92. it was rebadged as a"plymouth duster" and was "early 90s green that everyone had", and had the mitsubishi 3.0 6 cyl in it. still a dog of a car.

 

yup, i still have my 93 lebaron with the 3.0l V6 from mitsubishi. it's the same color too, the light green color. except i renamed my badging to say "Rysler Baron" a little play on words there since i made it into a ricer, you know, "rice"ler. haha funny. i had 210hp after i was done with it.

 

4 months later GEICO is still listing the tC as made by Maserati.

 

lol...so how much is the insurance then since its by maserati like $800 a month?

 

^^HAHA, I was just about to make a similar post...but I wont rain on your parade. (you bastard)

 

Any insurance company that spends that much on advertising is not your friend in time of need;)

No, this isn't new. I saw this when I quoted my tC several months ago.

e:f, b

 

I saw a dodge shadow go up in flames too. And an old mitsu eclipse. Those cars are such pieces of crap they spontaneously combust.
