Motortrend must've made typo or mistaken for another car.
0-60 MPH 6.5 sec
QUARTER MILE 15.1 sec @ 92.4 mph

possibly:

2.4L/180-hp/173-lb-ft DOHC 16-valve I-4
(2.5 guys, 2.5)

Stated in a paragraph of the text: ven better, the now 180-horse, 2.5-liter inline-four has this budget-priced coupe nipping at the heels of serious sport compacts.

So might very well be a typo, but I'll take those numbers ;)

I'd take those numbers too, but they seem a bit generous. All the other auto reviews put the 0-60 time in the low to mid 7 secs.

"WE LIKE: Macho styling, Cement paint, budget-conscious pricing."

I hope they realize, the scion tc does come in other colors. seems like such a throw away answer and not applicable to all 2Gtcs. then again, you dont see cement as a color option on too many if not any other cars. meh.
