"Touring" is typically a balance between sport and luxury, not exactly top of the line in either, but elements of both. First I've ever heard of the tC standing for that though. I just assumed they were going to call it "xC", but that name was already taken by Volvo.

you guys are correct. for legal reasons they couldnt use xC because of volvo, so they went with tC because it is considered a "touring coupe". as you can see they are continuing the line using xD. its a shame we couldnt be xC.

Touring..... I always thought of it as what ZlineDavid said, between sports car and luxo car.... but then I think of Euro touring car championships, which included BMW 3 series, Audi A4/S4, Opel Astra, etc.
