I used to like the boxy xB, but they fucked that up on the redesign...

I'd still buy a used xB as a beater...

 

so are acuras.

 

if toyota offered the tc under the toyota badge in canada, i think it'd sell very well.

where would it be placed within the product lineup?

(a) yaris -> corolla / matrix -> tc?
(b) yaris -> coralla, matrix and tc (i.e. corolla coupe)?
(c) ?

 

I like the TC, I wish it was more powerful, but I guess that's the point

 

...all I know is that many tC drivers seem to have a chip on their shoulder and want to race everone on the road....which does not bode well for the tC driver when a runoff does occur. Honestly, I would get an Si (or used RSX) over a tC and a Fit over the xD.

 

i've noticed that too. but i think demographics have a lot to do with it. most of the tC drivers i see are young males. high school/college-age.

if i was in college or in the market for a small car, the tC would only be behind the mazda3 (hatch and sedan).

 

i wonder when the tC will be redesigned

 

I drive a Scion Tc and I didn't get a chip on the shoulder. I purchased the car with my own money and paid it off myself. Don't get me wrong it was the only car I could afford at the time when my previous car got stolen and plus the insurance rate for a scion is amazing compared to an SI, RSX, or a Mazda.

 

it is a good car tho... bro has one

 

the tc has been around a while now too and they already redesigned the other two

 

I said 'many' but not all. For some reason, many of the owners around here seem to drive in a particularly racy manner.

 

I like the tC and the old xB but could never see me driving one, its one of those situations where its good enough for them but not good enough for me

 

My roommate has an 08 xB and the company truck is an older model xB. I spend quite a bit of time in both, and i'll tell you first hand that the quality of everything is so much better in the newer ones.

The old one, you drive it like you are on display where as the new model you sit down low in it. I personally like the newer one better...

sorry John

 

The tC is Scion's most popular car, they are trying hard to get the replacement right, because if they dont, Scion's sales may plummet.

I had a tC myself (before I got my TSX) and I think it is a great car for what it does. It is very roomy for backseat passengers and the fact that it is a hatchback and not a coupe (and yet looks like a coupe) allowed me to carry alot of stuff in the trunk area.

 

i hope if they redesign the tc they keep it a hatch. Seems like once the rsx went out, there weren't that many coupe styled hatches anymore.

I bought my xB when the new one was already out. I bought a new 06' halfway through 07' that was my choice, considering the old one 1. looks better (subjective), 2. get better gas milage, 3. is smaller

The new one I think got way too big, and is now into van/suv land rather than small hatchback. Which I guess might appeal to some people, but not to me. I'll admit I do like most of the new xB interior, at least the dash and stuff. But the seats look ridiculously flat and boring compared to the old one. For how much extra power and space you get, I suppose the increase in price could be considered a bargain, but it's still more money for features I really didn't want.

 

every kid in a tc around my area thinks they are fast. they are always trying to race and/or they fly by me. maybe its because im debadged and i had an intake? anyway, i swear they have become poser mobiles and the people behind the wheel always seems to a guido who walked through a wind tunnel.

 

Seriously...I have a video destroying one in my brothers stock 6MT Z. He pulls up next to us and starts blasting his reggaeton and reving his engine...once the light turns green....well, i'm sure you know the rest.

 

Personally I dont like Scion. But don't get me wrong, you get a lot of options for the money. I just dont understand why their commercials advertise them as tuner cars, when they are fairly underpowered. I also wonder if Scion will still be around in 10-15 years from now.

 

In NY all hot girls drive a TC. Don't see too many guys driving them, and when I do, they look a lil

 

isnt there an article saying how scions sales have been on a steady decrease as of late
