Well, at least we are paying $18,995/$19,995 and they are paying $24,500/$25,500 for virtually the same car. I wouldn't pay $5,000 more for the Toyota badges.

 

Ah good call! So after all this the tC is still not JDM...sigh...lol I'd like to see it in Japan then the Middle East. I'd would think there would be more killer parts made if it were to be sold in Japan anyways.

 

Technically it was the other way though. The xA and xB were just rebadged Toyota models brought to the us as Scion. The tC was the first one that was purely a scion design. But same concept.. the fact that the tC was the one scion that was not a "Toyota" elsewhere has changed.

And they still have the old xb looking hvac controls on this Zelas... That is probably the part of the interior that bothers me most I think on the new ones.

 

Looks okay... The front reminds me of the ISF... But I like out spoiler better.

 

i know, i was just joking since the OP says he felt rooked that toyota is going to sell the tC in other markets under a different brand and model name when nearly the entire line-up of cars are platforms that are rebadged versions of cars sold in other markets.

 

why the heck do they always mess up the rear...

 

The first gen wasnt sold elsewhere, yea it shared the platform, but the avensis has a different body...

Now, this double layer wing is fugly, but I wouldn't mind getting the other one.

 

I am positive he knows this! You also missed the key word of "nearly" all toyotas!

 

true dat, i know this pretty well. but yeah, just joking about it. i hear the ft-86 will share a platform with a subaru, and even have a lexus counterpart.

 

LOL, I was just stating the obvious

 

The first picture reminds me of an lexus is-f. The front body kit looks nice, but to aggressive for my taste.

 

now comes the angst....

 

Wow... nothing to say but wow. That is all.

 

The seats look More Supportive & better looking..Doesnt have the lame Graphics on them!...

 

This.

 

Wow.....looks a little better than the one we have in the US. Still not quite to my liking

 

I heard the FT86 is on the IS platform

 

Our tC have better wheels....
