DAMN! Shiet....Toyota had' better figure out that Canadians are important too... I WANT ONE!

2900lbs? Dammit.

Looks sweet as hell, it comes stock with some big rubber too, 215/45R17. Nice interior and the roof is sick. No pricing though.

finally something worth looking at from scion

Yeah 2900lbs......IMO that's pretty heavy for a two door hatch...I think rsx has 2700lbs....so my question is, does the 200 lbs make a large difference??

200lbs is considerable. A very rough number would be 100lbs = 10HP.

i went to the auto show today, fucker WASNT There, but it's sillhouette was on the bags, how does that work out.!?:confused:


anyway, wow, looks NICE, i'd hit it...twice....:thumbup:

thats got the 4cyl from the gen 5 camry right?

Smells hot!

Pat

very hot indeed!:eek: :thumbup:

im liking it berry berry much :thumbup:

riv.ca doesn't say that Scions cannot be imported, they lump Lexus with Toyota meaning that they probably lump Scion with Toyota as well, the do say that all 1988-2004 vehicles are acceptable excluding a few odd cars.

I wonder how much a tC goes for.

yes im woundering that also. i wanna see it in a diff color tho. perhaps black

Nice nice nice....esp the seats...they look comfy...:D

HOT HOT!

I think the tach should be in the center pod though instead of the speedo.

From Toyota PR:
Scion, the new car marque from Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., unveiled the all-new tC sports coupe at a press conference today at the 2004 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.

"In June, the all-new 2005 tC will join the entry-level xA and the urban utility xB, coinciding with Scion's national rollout," said Jim Farley, Scion vice president. "The tC was developed specifically for Scion and the U.S. market with an aim to deliver a level of style, performance and value that will be flat-out impossible to beat."

The design target for the tC was to offer a sporty coupe with sophisticated styling and surprising versatility. The sleek tC sits low and wide. Configured as a three-door hatch with a panorama glass moonroof, the tC has the formal look of a coupe with a trunk. Body panel gaps have been narrowed, as have the pillars, for improved visibility. Further adding to the tC's sleek appearance, the windshield wipers are set low so the driver has an unobstructed view. Outside mirrors have built-in turn signal lights, and the hatch incorporates a power release. Standard keyless entry and remote hatch operation can all be managed from a newly designed gray and black key, unique to Scion.

The tC's sophisticated styling exudes a Scion family identity. Traces of Scion DNA can be found in the interior with use of amber illumination, metal-tone trim and innovative instrumentation panel grains. A material that was inspired by the texture of Japanese paper was developed for the tC dash. Exterior Scion cues include taut, clean lines from front to rear, accentuated rocker panels and wheel arches, and a sporty mesh grille.

Like its Scion siblings, the tC will be equipped with many subtle hints of refinement, such as the use of dampers on interior moving parts, normally found in more upscale vehicles. The temperature control dial is made of genuine cast aluminum. The front-passenger airbag is seamlessly integrated into the dash, and narrowed gaps on interior components measure near those of the all-new Camry Solara coupe.

The tC will offer incredible utility in a very spacious cabin. The driver's seat will have both a height and thigh adjustment, along with a walk-in function with memory. Rear 60/40-split seats will be equipped with three headrests and three-point seat belts in all seating positions. The rear seats will recline 45 degrees and can be adjusted into 10 different positions. Finally, when both the front passenger and rear seats are folded flat, tC will provide more than 8.5 feet of length for cargo.

Performance will match the tC's sleek styling. The tC will be a tenacious road handler as it will be equipped with a double-wishbone rear suspension, front MacPherson struts, 17-inch six-spoke alloy wheels, and four-wheel disc brakes with an Anti-lock Brakes system.

Power will be delivered through an all-aluminum 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) that will produce 160 horsepower. The engine will be mated with a choice of five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmissions. For added performance, a dealer-installed supercharger package developed by Toyota Racing Development will be offered later in the year. The turn-key performance option with an output of approximately 200 horsepower can be purchased with the vehicle, or added later. And like all things Scion, it will be surprisingly affordable.

Like the xA and xB, the Scion tC will be offered in mono-spec trim. Standard features will include the panorama moonroof, 17-inch alloy wheels with graphite appearance finish, air conditioning, cruise control, a high-output Pioneer sound system, power windows, door locks and mirrors, and a center console with armrest. Sound absorption materials help maintain low NVH levels that are more common in a class-above car.

"When Scion goes on sale nationally in late June, Scion showrooms are expected in approximately 60 percent of all Toyota dealers," said Farley. "The launch of the 2005 tC sport coupe will complete the third leg of Scion's original three-vehicle strategic launch plan. But, it will not be the last."

O just thinking could u use the dealer-added supercharger to the gen 5 i4 camry?

:eek:

i think i'm going to go change my pants now...:thumbup:

So is the xA the same as the Echo HB/Vitz??

I'd hit the tC!! :thumbup: :D

this thing is absolutely loaded.. and its only going to cost around 19,000. FF camry 2.4L engine, trd centrifugal supercharger has already been installed on the prototype...
http://www.scionlife.com/gallery/tc/tc11.jpg

that puts the engine at 200hp, with probably around 190ft-lbs and a 20hp advantage over the top trim model celica... kind of interesting...

the tc also has every option i would expect about a 40,000 dollar car would have. a/c, panoramic moonroof, everything from a full memory drivers seat to exterior temp gauges.

headlights look like bmw...

im psyched!!

jon

I like the interior thats for sure but the exterior is just a lil off. But love the car none the less!

Love the tC!!

If only I could bring one of these down here, and for the price!

kinda looks like the old civic si coupe no?

Forget 200 hp, add 30% more torque to the already healthy 163 lb.ft. and you're over 200 there as well. Talk about RSX slayer.

Come-on Toyota Canada, listen to the consumer, this is what we want.

Forget the supercharger, I'd take one with the normal Camry engine. That thing is sweet! Too bad I can't get one...:(

20ish eh, i could do that. ill have to talk to my toyota guy, see what he can do about bringing one up

i watched the detroit unveiling from the broadcast and they were talking about their full intent to increase production with toyotas "low consumer wait time"... so i bet it comes up to canada eventually, especially if it ends up sweeping the gen y market as they plan to.

jon

Hmm. I wonder if the engine mounts for the 2.4 are the same for the XB? If so that would be sweet:)

Sweet pics, I like the new tc :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

:D Hopefully in the near future Toyota will bring Scion to Canada.

Hey fresco bob,

are you serious about having a chat with your toyota guy, if so, can you please let us know what happens.:)

semi serious, if its 20 american, then itd be a lot more canadian, but hes a family friend, so next time i see him ill just mention it and see what he says, but ill definitly post up anything i find out

Older Integra GSR could eat that thing up, so could the RSX I bet. Struts up front isnt the best, what the weight distribution? 2.4 liter seems big for that car, and only 160 hp? Must have a low redline and compression, how are they making more power than the Camry? Why not a Celica motor, is it the same?

What I dont like these days is everything, even compacts, are getting so damn big, heavy. and overrefined. No one sells any thats hardcore anymore, can you even find a sport compact without power anything? I liked back when these were simple cars, bare bones cars, with small high revving engines, excellent handling, and amenties and comfort second to performance. I liked them simple, they are getting to soft and overlaiden with crap these days.

You want all that, go buy a lotus elise.

Too Pricey for you? Try the new mazdaspeed Miata.

There are still cars out there that come a lot closer to meeting your ideals.

or the echo hatch, pretty much everything is an option, and its pretty small and barebones, with available s/c i beleive

if i get mine, its gonna be white:cool:

I guess, it just seems that some of the new generations of cars that were awesome back in the day aren't cutting it. Skyline GTR, Integra, Civic, Corolla, RX-8 (argueable), Nissan stopped the S chassis cars and all the Z isn't a pure car. Also the death of the Supra.

There are still cars like you say, S2000 (even though it got toned down, arguable), Elise, Miata. A convertable is a compromise though. Even though some ingenious engineering still made then as good as anything back in the day. It just seems like you need to go out and buy an exotic to get a pure car nowadays. It's just disappointing that there are less of them these days and performance is being compromised in all these new generations to boost sales. I find it sad but at least there are still a few out there. It's almost like the focus on performance is moving away from the compacts an towards bigger coupes and sedan. All of the mainstream sedans have seen big increases in their performance through the generations. Accord, Camry, Maxima, 6. Its wasteful to put it into something not pure though IMO.

I agree..

is there a truck version one
like an SUV
cuz i swear i sat in something called a scion at the ny auto show:confused:

RedHawk: that's the xB.

Man, 2,900lbs. That's kinda alot. And on 160hp. I think they should of used at least the GT-S Celica engine. The back reminds kinda the new TL by Acura.

The front bumper looks kinda wierd alien looking. I say, add a kit, drop that shiz, and dual exhaust. Seriously all by TRD. That would look sweet. I still think the Mazda 6 looks better than the TS, tellin u man, kit, drop, dual exhaust, I would drool over this, then the 6.:p:

I say dual exhaust.
I4 + dual exhaust =:thumbdown

i agree if it's not dual exhaust to begin with...

The S2000 pulls them off pretty well for an I4

ya, i stand corrected

I4 + paying $$ to convert to dual exhaust = :thumbdown

The 2zz from the gts would be a bad idea. No torque.

The engine is a larger i4 being a 2.4 liter. So if done right, it'll workout just fine.

hp isnt shit if torque isnt there..

and it's 165lb ft...

very nice:D and yeah i see hints of BMW 7 headlamps and also see a hint of skyline in its front bumber

I really wonder how this thing runs.... :cool:

200hp with S/C ou la la...

Scion should make the eqiuvalent of a RWD CRX. That would be sweet, sub 2000 lbs, 50/50 F/R, high revving sub 2.0 engine with sqaure bore, and defiently pop-up headlights :D. What a kickass car that would be. Kind of like a new hachi-roku even.

you just contradicted yourself...

The look of it reminds me of the curves of a G35 coupe. As long as there's no blaring problems with this car, I'm sure it's gonna be a hot seller. They were smart to bring out the less hot Scions first.

then what happened..?

give it a few years, and DAY-UM, i love the current Lexus models...

just give Scion a few years to establish themselves as a reputable car maker (or in this case, models), and they'll release the better products later on...

you end dinner with dessert ...

i suspect toyota has something up their sleves (or Scion's rolled up youth oriented ones )...


that was a few months ago...

nice! it actually has a decent amount of hp

I want one sooo FUCKIN bad

she so sexyyyy

yeah that gt-s engine would have been a bad choice considering the torque and compression ratio it has. The 2az-fe's 2.4 liter has a lot of promise alhough i've noticd that theres no aftermarket support for that engine, now thats its been out for a while in the Camry...hopefull things'll change

a couple of pictures of the tC with tinted windows.

hey sup

How do u think the after market will be for this car. I was plannin on buying an Rsx Type S A Spec but then I heard this car was coming out. Becasue as you know the A Spec package adds about 5 g's to the price.

Damn, I just found this thread :hammer:
The TC looks pimptastic, for some reason the lines remind me of the new 5 series... :confused:

i want it...i want it

i'm loving this car...
front has some hints of subaru
headlights resemble the new BMW 5
cluster screams altima

IMHO


too bad...not in canada...

I swear I'm looking at the back of a hyundai

the interior ain't bad though

I still think toyota could do better... we just have to "push" them in the right "direction" :D

the only thing that bothers me is the rear end. all i can think is "dear god, toyota design just copied the saturn ion". but yeah, i freaking want one more than a celica now.
