Not bad at all, but not very sleek either.
Id take this car as a very serious contender though. Especially if that rumor i read about an optional factory supercharger is true.

Fairly nice interior, but judging from the thiness if the console, you get two people with broad shoulders in the front seats and it will feel a little cramped.

I agree I like the Scion xB and tC, but for some reason this tC screams BMW. The headlights look like Z4 style and the side kinda resembles the new 6 series.

There probably isn't enough sales volume in Canada to justify a separate set of Scion dealerships.

I think that looks great. I mis-judged SCION, they seem to really hit well with consumers in the 10-20k market. I love em hooked up.
I saw/sat in a Xa for the first time, this thing is well built.

Scion Tc Pricing
Scion, a new line of vehicles from Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today announced the pricing of its newest addition, the tC sport coupe.
The tC adds a new level of excitement to Scion. The two-door coupe will feature a 160-horsepower engine, four-wheel disc brakes, and standard 17-inch alloy wheels with Z-rated tires. Though the tC has the look of a coupe, it features the versatility of a hatchback. Its extensive standard equipment list includes the first standard all-glass panorama moonroof in the segment.
The tC will offer buyers the chance to personalize their vehicle with a choice of nearly 40 accessories for dealer installation. A rear spoiler, 18-inch wheels and tires, and various interior trim components may be added to suit personal taste. For drivers who want even more sport in their tC, accessories from Toyota Racing Development (TRD) will include a 19-inch wheel and tire package, suspension components, and a supercharger that will boost horsepower to approximately 200.
The 2005 Scion tC will go on sale nationally in late June 2004 with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $15,950. Delivery, processing, and handling fees of $515 result in a base price of $16,465 for the five-speed manual transmission model. An available four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission is available for $800.
The Scion xA sedan and xB urban utility vehicle were launched last year in California and currently are sold in 24 states. The entire Scion vehicle line-up will go on sale nationally in June at nearly 800 select Toyota dealerships across the country.

I think that car is great for the price. I am shocked at how at first I though Scion was stupid, but now looks like a brilliant idea. The Tc is hot to me for an under 20k car.
