What should the tC come with from the factory that's not already on it? If you pick other, state what it is.

i voted OTHER because the first 4 choices will probably top the car at over $20K which sorta defeats the purpose of having Scion around in the first place...I say do something small, just throw in the fog lights and spoiler since the 06 Civic Si will be having that stuff standard already. Toyota really needs to keep the tC competitive with that car.[/b]

LSD.

Would not increase the cost of the car much, could be std for all cars, hence keeping with the one model and trim level only theme.

As far as the fog lights (I hate where they are placed) and the spoiler... I like it without... so it would suck to "pay" for them when I don't want them. That's why I wouldn't pay for an automatic... didn't want it, so I waited for a manual.

I think many of us like it the way it is. I dont want someone at Toyota deciding that I want a spoiler (which i dont) or deciding what visual upgrades to make. Those are things that are better left to the person buying the car. Especially since this is supposed to be a "customizer" car. Most people interested in custom cars do not want to buy it already done for them.

As far as performance, I would say either an LSD, or at least going the way of cooper and redesigning for equi-length drive shafts (to reduce torque steer).

Why do you guys always want nav? You can have that installed at the dealer! I have about 20 to choose from.

I already got navigation, thieves aren't tempted by it, didn't require a credit check to get, and I can move it between vehicles easily.

^ an LSD wouldnt put the car at over 20k, it would prolly raise the price by 500 or so.

I voted for LSD, which wouldn't add too much to the final cost of the car. I would've voted RWD, since that would really add a lot to the potential of the car, but if it were RWD, I probably wouldn't have bought it as a daily driver; Michigan winters can be pretty nasty.

Another thing that the tC could've come with is either a taller 5th gear or a 6th gear for highway cruising. Although not a big deal, it is a bit odd to be spinning the motor at 4K rpm doing 85mph. It's a good thing the tC has a smooth and quiet motor.

i vote "other": is300 style foglights like some of you have done.. and in clear (rather than yellow) so it's uniform with the xb/xa models.

in my opinion, that's the cleanest it-came-from-another-car lighting modification/addition ive seen for ANY CAR, nevertheless for a tc. second [for a tc] would probably be the bmw projectors retro-ed into the stock tc headlight assmembly.

just my two cents.
