^^ lol.... that is certainly an interesting way to put a positive spin on it.
For me personally, I like the new slightly redesigned steering wheel. As for the rest of the car... Unless Toyota/Scion gave me one for free... they can keep the rest of the car... the 2011 just doesn't exactly blow sunshine up my skirt, I'm very glad I have my 1st gen 2008 tC. So far, there are only 2 things I like about the 2nd gen 2011 tC over mine...
1. The steering wheel redesign.
2. the 6 spd manual trans. I'd love to snag one of those and retro fit it into my 08 tC.
I'm not bashing the '11 tC... some may think the new design is great, I'm just not one of them.
....and remember to take everything in life with a grain of salt, because opinions are like butts.... everybody's got one.

THUMBS UP!! I'm diggin them, the car as a whole will have to grow on me, most which I like but there are some that I'm iffy on. I want to try to make it to one of the "unveiling" events at a local dealership to check it out, even though I saw the prototype at the LA Region a couple months ago but still wasn't completely finished.

Not to sound like a ****, but under that same line of thought, why not just bump it up to 200, or Mach 12? Being that the TC's top speed is low, a gauge where more than 80% of it is actually ever even used is more useful than something ridiculous and wishful.
Try driving a Porsche and you'll see what I mean. . . a GT3's gauge goes to 200MPH (and it can get somewhat close to that), but it's near impossible to use the speedo for anything at legal speeds. There is a small digital readout, which is equally annoying, being low-set in the dash. But yeah, it's a GT3, so it's excused. A tC. . . a coupe with sporting aspirations. . . but this is just my opinion.

not exactly sure where to put this but since we're on topic of the 2nd-Gen tC...even though the quality is lightyears above the tC, this sure does resemble the tC2 (which came out first). Just an Autoblog find: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/29/p...s-of-performa/
