I thought it was kinda funny actually. You need a sense of humor. Lighten up a lil. Besides, "he started it". (lol, hows that for second grade?)

 

It all depends on your point of veiw, I'm proud that its on the echo platform. At least it's not on a platform made for old peoples cars. (Camry) That means the tC is basically a Buick underneath JK

 

Well since the camry isn't based off of the avensis and the tc is.. Why do you people even post stuff like that? again: THE ONLY THING THE tC SHARES WITH THE CAMRY IS PROBABLY TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE.

 

my box handles great with and with out trac on....but i noticed that when it is on and i wanna take off like a hat outta hell at a red light it doesn't really peel out......now i my opinion that is a good thing TOO KEEP YOUR TRACTION>>> plus my box doesn't feel top heavy in hard corners..

 

people just dont get along on this forum.

 

Why all the confusion about "PLATFORM Sharing"??? Platform has almost nothing to do with sheetmetal. Most all FWD vehicles have had unibody construction since the 70's which is about the time that platform sharing got started.

 

"MOST" of us get along fine!!! The problems start when opinions are stated as facts and it just snowballs from there. Please, if you don't know something for sure, keep it to yourself or do the reasearch then post the results of the factual info.
This bickering about dumbsh!+ is getting very old

 

gotcha!

 

I feel like I'm still in high school listening to the kid's that were never payed attention to....

 

i could really go for some traction control in my tC in the rain. i can't go over 3,000rpms in first or 2nd gear. i can barely take off with the stock tires when it's really pouring.

 

Ok, so it's not exactly a Camry, but..... Sports car?
It's "sporty" at best!


Since when?

tc is a fun to drive lift back that looks better than most cars...nuf said

 

soooo keep me/us posted on this!!! PM me when you get the 411!!!

 

Among Scions, it surely is.

I think one big reason the TRAC was probably omitted is to keep the price below a certain point decided upon by the Toyota/Scion marketing gurus, but I would think you should be able to get an aftermarket LSD before too long. There is even an LSD for Echo/xA/xB's out already though its not on sale in the U.S. I beleive it's a TRD Japan part.

 

WHAT? I don't think so! If it weren't for the xB, there prolly wouldn't even be a SCION

 

he..he the xB is largely responsible for people knowing what scion is. But that is not necessarily a good thing because when I tell people i got a scion, their first reaction is "please tell me you didnt get the ugly box". So in a way you are right I guess.

 

yep, when people ask me what kind of car I drive, I say "Scion" and they think straight to the xB.

 

That's probably true, but the tC is probably what is getting people who like more normal cars into a Scion and it's the most expensive/fastest/nicest one so far, hence king of the pack.

Most xB owners I know, myself included, wouldn't want an tC and most tC owners wouldn't want an xB. It's all about diversity.

 

WOW We actually agree on something!
Eventually the tC may pass the xB in popularity. But that will be due to the xB going out of production after the 06' model year
Untill then the xB with it's elegance/value price/modability= "KING" of the pack. It's what people think of when they think of SCION
It's easy for the tC owners to think otherwise because that is what they own. IMO

OH, and the people that call it ugly are way outnumbered by the folks that absolutely love the looks like 10 to 1
