Whats your opinion on the scion tc?
I just wanted to get some feedback from people on this board about this car. Does anyone have experience with the xa and xb and is the tc going to be using the same engine? If so is that a decent powerplant? Im figuring that is will have aftermarket support comparable to that of the xa and xb but what about the possiblity of maybe running low 14s... possible or not? in the words of johnny 5 need input !

2.4 liter 4-cyl with VVT-i (2AZ-FE)
HP: 160@5700 rpm
Torque: 163@4000 rpm
17x7 alloy wheels standard with 215/45/17 hi performance tires
standard panorama glass top
keyless entry with a new key design
knee airbags (driver side)
rear seats recline and can be adjusted in 10 different positions
with the seat folded down there is space for an 8.5' cargo
cast aluminum knobs
the dash was inspired by a Japanese paper - really nice
Nice sporty seats
And for those who crave more HP..TRD will have a turn-key performance option of a supercharger..that will bring it up to 200HP!!!!
To quote Jim Farley " The TC was developed specifically for Scion and the US market with an aim to deliver a level of style, perfomance and value that will be flat-out impossible to beat."

It looks like a pussy in the front and back, completely unaggressive..
Isnt it going to be 20k? Competing with the SRt4 with a supercharger? Well.. at least its a 2.4.

Re: Whats your opinion on the scion tc?
me and my friend priced one on the website, and it came out to damn near the cost of an RSX, which looks better in my opinion. i'd rather get an RSX (actually, i'd probably get a TSX).
