[QUOTE]The Scion tC, the best-selling vehicle in the Scion lineup, raises the bar in the sports coupe segment as it receives sharp styling revisions, new standard equipment and safety features for 2008.

Freshened Exterior and Enhanced Interior
The 2008 tC is distinguished by the new Scion family front fascia, a menacing horizontal combination of headlights and grille. For the tC this includes a new upper mesh grille, lattice lower grille and projector-type low beam headlights with black trim. The tC also receives eye-catching rear tail lights similar in style to the headlights with round combination lamps.

Inside, the tC receives a deep orange combination meter on the instrument panel, silver-colored accents on the door assist grips and center cluster, updated seat fabric and Pioneer subwoofer.

Azure Pearl and Black Cherry Pearl exterior colors were replaced with Sizzling Crimson Mica and Wave Line Pearl.

Standard iPod Connectivity
Apple iPod connectivity is standard across the Scion lineup for 2008. Scion's standard 160-watt maximum output Pioneer AM/FM/CD audio system features a head unit with iPod control. This head unit integrates track, artist and album information from the iPod into a one-line display on the head unit's screen. Connectivity is achieved by simply plugging the iPod into a port via a connector cable, providing outstanding sound quality through the car's stereo system and constant power to the iPod. Music is controlled through the head unit and steering wheel audio controls. A standard mini-jack port also allows users to listen to their portable music collection through the tC's Pioneer speakers.

Since many Scion customers add in-car entertainment systems to their vehicle, the tC comes standard with rear head unit outputs allowing for the addition of external amps to boost power to the front and rear speakers, and subwoofers.

The tC's optional premium audio system adds one more feature to the standard head unit, the ability to download

Not too different. Is it just me, or do the headlights look like the Celica's except horizontal?

....what face lift? it just looks like some guy's tC with ugly tail lights.

[mindphunk]

The headlights are ugly and the taillights are too. Is there no bottom grill anymore?

[DIRomberger]

scion = still ugly

^^^x2 Everytime I see a TC it makes me feel better about my celica. It always made me think it was the fatter, slower, uglier, celica.

[Blue Bomber]

As usual, yawn...

I test drove a 2005? I think. I have gotta say I really enjoyed the car. I love my celica, but the tC had very nice interior and lots of little things that made it a neat car. Correct me if I am wrong but it also much cheaper? I think last time i was looking at it for an 07 its around 18 thousand. I am not sure how they can keep the price so low but it seems much cheaper than what celicas went for brand new. Also they are very much cheaper used I guess also because they are sold cheaper at MSRP.

I am not saying go buy a tC : D just saying It really is a nice car.

Scion marketing genius. I would love to be in that board meeting and see what they will come out with next. They're able to minipulate young people from buying this grocery shopping cars thinking that its fast while other car companies coming out with truely fun cars to drive. This is supposed to replace the celica? Are you kidding me? :faint: I love Toyota but they should stop wasting their billion dollar empire to establish a sister company that likes to make ugly looking cars instead concentrate on bringing out a new truely fun sports car to drive. Now we got a box (littarally a car that looks like a box) and this T-otal C-rap. Atleast make it look fast. Marketing genius!

They sell because you get a lot for what they cost - they are an inexpensive reliable car with pretty impressive content. Price is what killed the Celica, so I would say that they did learn their lessons...

Don't worry about him, he's just on his soapbox.

I think Shaq should be the spokesperson for Scion, their sales will skyrocket, leaving the Lakers in the gutter. :hide: :laugh:
