Does it look chunky to you guys? If those are 19" they look kind of small. . .

I wouldn't go that far, after 20k I'd go with the v6 accord coupe or rsxS. Pics give it a larger than life appearance, does look like an econobx on the streets which is fine for its starting price/equipment.

Accord V6 start at $24k for the base LX model.
and
RSX-S is $24k also.
and
Scion starts at $16,500

Well lets be realistic, the accord lx can be had for 20.5k and the rsxs for 22k, neither of which have options for their model, so yea after 20k I would go with them instead of a supercharged version of the scion. Scion uses a pricing system like saturn, what you see on the sticker is the lowest price, except in the case of their options which is where Toyota rakes in the money.

I like the equipment and features of the interior, but something just doesn't look right about the exterior on the Tc.

If you go the options list, not the "build it" it has teh body kit and the suspension listed.

trd s/c is most likely only offered at dealers and not listed online.

the ONLY thing this car needs but doesnt have is a LSD. also, slightly bett weight distro. read a review saying it was like 64/36 or something.

I like the RSX but would have to go with the new kid on the block. The ACcord coupe is too big and quite ungainly to look at. The Tc and RSX are way more fun.

I didn't really like the Scion site when I went to build em.

The Tc does not look like an econobox at all. A Echo looks like an econobox, or the Xa. The RSX doesn't look like an econobox either.

That site could be much better if they really want to emphasize the "personalize you car" theme.

Yeah I was pretty shocked at how basic it was. And not really too user friendly.\

I think it looks like a new Handui Tiburuin(cant spell at all) Looks really sweet with the 19's on there, the TC is a huge improvement from the XA and XB.
