The tC doesn't even look remotely like a toyota avensis. Why is that badge on there?

Toyota Avensis platform

"Toyota established the "Scion" brand in USA as an attempt to lure young customers. Scion tC is the third model of the brand, after Scion xA (equivalent to the Japanese Toyota ist) and xB (Toyota bB). tC is a hatchback coupe derived from the Avensis platform to compete in the "soft coupe" market with Honda Integra (Acura RSX), Hyundai Tuscani, Saturn Ion Quad-Coupe and Chevrolet Cobalt Coupe.

It shares the 2700mm wheelbase with Avensis, ensuring a roomy cabin. Being a four-seater coupe, it provides plenty of legroom for the rear passengers, although headroom is compromised with the rear window. Panoramic glass roof allows a bright and airy ambience. By coupe standard the interior is unusually practical, not only because it is actually a hatchback, but the 60/40-split rear seats can fold down to leave a flat loading space. In case you need to take long items such as surf boards, the front passenger seat can fold down.

Suspensions are carried over from Avensis, with struts at the front and double-wishbones at the rear. This setup has been thoroughly tuned by Toyota Europe and Lotus in Avensis thus ride and handling are promising. In the tC, the suspension tuning is a little firmer, while wider and lower profile rubbers (215/45) and 17-inch wheels increase grip and sharpen handling further. However, compare with Honda Integra and many European hot hatches the tC still biases more towards comfort. Its suspensions soak up bumps effectively, delivering a supple ride unfound at this price. The downside is a little more body roll than desired. It would be better if Toyota can tune it to be sharper. "


Is it so wrong to be different?..... I thought that's what Scion is about.
kthx

A toyota avensis has four doors. A scion tC has two. The cars don't even look similar.

Do what you want, but there's no law saying I have to like it.

Default BMW emblem on XB iin Chino Hills!

BMW emblem on XB in Chino Hills! Yup, no lie. I was on my way home from work and a Polar White xB was rolling out of the Great Indoors parking lot off Peyton.

Right it's someone else's car but as a Scion owner.....i wasn't feelin' it. Hey i guess whatever floats his boat.

WOW! Some of you sure do take this stuff personal. But that's what Toyota wants you to do. I say rebadging is no different than any of the other 'personal' touches each of you do. If it ain't stock - it ain't stock
So...badge, or leather, or paint. or

Some prefer to think out of the box, while others think that The Fast and the Furious is the be all and end all of car modding
