a lot of things may suck.....price obviously....rice obviously....the fact that everyone wants one.....so it might end up being common...but you have to remember scion is a company that makes its money off of after market parts. the prices are cheap because most customers spend at least 1100 on mods. instead on focusing on the things that might hinder its stance with people keep in mind the scion is exactly what a sleeper car is meant to be. the xa and xb have gotten so many options for mods i think the tc will fall into place. one bad thing is that scion reps have already stated that the tc is meant to reach a different demographic. which might affect the price...

Price isn't bad... Seriously we've gone thorugh this already :D It's 17K... Just about any other sporty Toyota is costing more than this... Don't respond to this though, we don't need to go through this topic again :D

As for a dissapointment, I just think that the car would be dissapointing if it gets less than 20 mpg with some mods... Especially a stock TRD S/C... Also thinking with a turbo this might drop some more too since it'll be geared a bit more aggressive than the TRD S/C...

yeah. that would be very dissapointing. it would suck to have a car run less than 20mpg if you turbo or sc it and you're a speed/power hungry

i highly doubt it will be available with the super charger for 17k...scion hasnt listed a price...so dont act like you know the price. one good bit of news is turbonetics has a turbo charger for it....and itll punp better than 20 mpg

one thing about the tC profile. from the picture it looks like the distance between the end of the door and the rear wheel are too far. so it makes tC look a bit top heavy. G35 coupe doesn't have this problem.

You can't build a G35C with another 15K added to the tC though :D G35C is probably one of the best looking coupes ever... (only after it's big brother the R34 :D :D: :D :D :D :D)
