[JoeyW]

TORRANCE, Calif., March 22 — Scion, of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., announced today that the second limited-production Scion for 2006, the tC Release Series 2.0 (tC R.S. 2.0), hits dealer showrooms beginning in mid-April.

The 2006 tC Release Series 2.0 will come in a brilliant Blue Blitz Mica. This limited edition tC features a stainless steel mesh upper and lower front grille and 17-inch alloy wheels that come with a satin metallic finish. The tC's only factory option, front seat-mounted side airbags and front and rear side curtain airbags, is standard equipment on the R.S. 2.0.

Inside, the tC's front and rear seats are trimmed with black Alcantara(R), a suede-like material that provides passengers better friction grip and is more commonly found in luxury or performance vehicles and on aftermarket racing seats. The tC R.S. 2.0 comes standard with a Pioneer Premium AM/FM/CD audio system with iPod connectivity and color-changing LED display.

A Pioneer six-inch subwoofer with 35-watt maximum power complements the upgraded head unit and is tuned specifically for the tC. This compact subwoofer is mounted in the under-floor storage area, keeping it out of sight and leaving the cargo floor clear. This tC also is equipped with XM Satellite Radio and comes with a paid three-month subscription, wherever XM service is available. An individually numbered brushed stainless steel badge completes the uniqueness of this vehicle.

Only 2,600 units of the tC Release Series 2.0 will be built. The tC Release Series 2.0 model will carry a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $1,960 over the base price of the tC. The base MSRP for the tC starts at $16,300.

A 2006 tC Release Series 2.0 will be on display in the Scion booth at the New York International Auto Show

[Christian87N]

i like that car a lot , but why can't toyota give it a different look, using different front/rear bumpers and side skirts, to really make it stand out from the other tCs?

[1500wattCamry]

i personally think the special releases are not quite "special" other than the color and different interior options i would like to see more hp put into the special releases than just appearence, perhaps the next scion tc edition could come stock with the supercharger, now that would be sweet.

looks nice but a bodykit would be nice. They did change the side skirting unless it's already designed like that and I never noticed. Alcantara seats are cool.

35 watt sub?? thats kinda sad

They should of tacked on the TRD Supercharger, but if they did, the price would shoot above $20k.

So much for being a factory option. It's strictly aftermarket.
