Well, for those who wanted thier own style and a ton of value, there was the Scion xA and xB. Parents liked its affordability and it's low insurance premiums as well as the fact that it was a Toyota. Now for those with a little more chas to spare and want to take it to the next level, there's the Scion tC. This little two door compact sports more style than many cars in and above it's price range. You can see Skyling, BMW, Altezza, and other styling ques that all got wickedly placed into this car. It's a good deal under the $20k mark and comes with a zesty 2.4-liter I-4 doner from it's Big Uncle Camry. The name of the game is 160 hp @ a moderate 57000 rpm and 163 lb-ft of torque at a nice low 4k rpm. Later on in production, TRD will offer a supercharger that will kick it up 40 more ponies and really give it some bite. Those who scoffed at the avant garde looks of the previously revealed Scions might take a second look at this offering. It'd like the cool older brother two two much yuonger siblings. For under twenty thousand dollars, you can't beat it for looks for most and you definitly can't beat the value and quality. Score one sure fire hit for the new Scion branch of Toyota!

now, if only I could get my hands on 19,000 clams :lol:

Not bad, front looks good, the back to "fat".

i'll be very interested in seeing the interior... but from the outside...
i don't really like the look...

Not bad.

I voted Hot, cuz if it's as good as it sounds, then it'd be easy to modify... which means SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED :D

I like it. And given it's Toyota, it'll last a life. :wink:

I just realized how much it looks like a little baby IS300, which makes me like it even more. It's supposed to ahve alot of interior room, that's why the wheels are moved as far out and back as they are. So it retains good trunck/passanger room and better handling with a larger wheelbase while sacrificing contemporary 'good looks' so what? I think it looks like a grown up compact, it's filled out nicely :mrgreen:

has a lot of nice features that are standard, and because it's a scion, there are gonna be alot of nice aftermarket parts :)

and unlike it's 2 ugly brothers, this one is NICE :D

really good cargo room, passanger room, nice seats, one of those 2 panel sunroofs (for people in the back), really nice pirelli wheels, and reclining seats make this a GREAT car
