I like it. But without concrete facts I won't get my hopes up.

Thats awesome but looks like a supercar. Not somethign they would sell around 20k. That looks more like it could be a Supra replacement. But of course thats 99.9% not gonna happen.

Now that I actually clicked on the article the second pic with the dimensions does look more feasable. The Blue car looks like super car material in my book.

The blue one looks like a Ferrari was crossed with a Lotus and TVR Sagaris.

The black/gray one in the article looks like an older Celica crossed with a BMW and Supra.

Scion sure likes BMW. First the headlights on the 05-09, now the tail-lights on this new coupe.

The 05-07 headlights aren't necessarily off the BMW's, they can just have the angel eyes

it's not going to be a high rpm motor wich really is much like what the tc is allready, until toyota comes out with better hp numbers i dont see myself buying anything else thru them.

With as much anticipation and secrecy surrounding the new tC (or it's replacement) I sure hope Toyota/Scion doesn't disappoint.

Beautiful car. I think it'll definitely be an option in the future. I can see the supercar-like features. Hopefully it'll perform well with a price tag under 40k.
