Its cool seeing the tC on there, but honestly, I don't follow CR recommendations as they nit pick on things that are either not a problem or a cool feature that they don't fully understand.

They didn't see the point in the xA because it is just like the xB but with less room. I don't see what's wring with it, it's a reliable car.


CR does nitpick, they find things I've never even thought about.

Maybe because everyone was fully expecting the tC's 4 year cycle to end with the 2009 replacement being announced this year?

SO... I was reading this at work and
i'd like to point out the fact that the tC is under "Sporty Cars" yet under Cons of the tC... it says not sporty.





lmao.
okay? Then why is it listed under Sporty Cars at all.

Toyota was aiming for a sporty car, but it doesn't have the "flash" of other cars in its class. Its simple look is actually quite appealing but not exactly "sporty".

It's crazy there are at least a dozen tC's driving around campus, probably more.

i think the point of its nonsportiness is so you can customize it and make it sporty,
thats what scion is all about.

I think it's funny that the majority of the vehicles on the best list are imports and the worst list are domestic. I always find it funny when people only buy cars because they're made in the U.S. I'm not going to buy a turd just b/c it came outta u.s.a. That's why I have 2 xb's.

I think I like my 2008 better. The color is sweet. I like the extra power, and the moonroof lightens up the interior.
