Default 2012 Civic Si to 2013 tC2..

I just want to introduce myself since I might be spending a lot of time on this forum. I love cars lol. due to financial reasons I might be getting rid of my 2012 Si sedan and getting a 2013 Scion tC2. i hate to say bye to my Si but sometimes you need to let things go to make room for something else.
I've always owned Hondas/Si's. Toyota is something completely new to me. My Si has won ROTM on the 9th Civic forum and I'm hoping to mod my tC2 to that point. here are a few pictures of my 2012 Si sedan so you guys can get a feel of how I mod my cars.

That's a very nice looking Si Hao.
Before you get the tC, i hope you know the 2014 Model changed quite a bit from the 2011-2013 Model. You might want to take a look at both and see which look you prefer.

I came from a 2000 Impreza 2.5rs swapped, a 2008 STi, and a 350Z and I think the tC is a great car. you'll enjoy it if you mod it right.

financial reasons i really dont want to get rid of it, but sometimes you have to make hard decisions to better your life.

i saw the 2014, i personally think it looks hideous lol. yeah i plan to keep the tc looking clean and simple like my si. i can break necks with subtle mods.

Have you test drove the tC yet? What are your thoughts about it compared to the Si?

The tC is definitely a car that begs to be modded. How ever far you take it; I'm a huge fan of the subtle clean mod look. Good luck with the build!

I gotta ask - how does selling a 1 year old car and taking the depreciation hit, and buying another new car (with another fast depreciation hit if you sold it) work to your financial advantage?
