Sneak Peek of 2011 Scion tC (http://jalopnik.com/5502034/the-2011-scion-tc-looks-like-the-2010-scion-tc)
The revised 2011 Scion tC will debut at the New York Auto Show along with a new, probably iQ-like subcompact model. This is allegedly a teaser for the new tC.

Chew on that for now.

[jin602_05]

so far looks the same.. :( there are waay waay too many TC in AZ. sucks.

[roaf85]

For a 2 door sports coupe. Hence the word sports coupe I would hope it gets decent fuel economy since right now the Celica gets close to 7-8 MPG better than the tC in the city while offering better acceleration and a better suspension set up.

In fact my Fusion gets the same MPG figures as a Scion tC and my insurance probably costs 15 dollars less a month.

[CelicaProject01]

it seems like they shortened the front...i found this vid on youtube that states that it's a 2011 tc but i have my doubts:

[Soon2beriding]

ugh! nice wheels?

[ikhaffaji]

So if this is the tC, doesn't that mean the FT86 won't be named the tC when it comes out?

Scion Unveils a New Dimension All-New 2011 tC (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/31/2011-scion-tc-new-york-auto-show-2010-reveal/)
All-New tC Sports Coupe Adds Power, Performance
Launched in 2004, the tC quickly became Scion's top-selling vehicle, at the same time attracting the youngest buyer in the entire industry. Six years later, the second-generation tC emerges with an aggressive new look, increased driving performance, and a more premium feel.

Enhanced performance is accomplished in the second-generation tC with an all-new 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine with dual VVT-i that generates 180 horsepower, 19 more than the previous model, and 11 additional lbs.-ft of torque. In addition to increases in power, the new engine delivers an increase in fuel economy all while lowering emissions. Performance is further improved and heard through a new intake manifold design and a sport-tuned exhaust system that delivers a bold and aggressive sound.

The tC features two all-new transmissions: the six-speed manual transmission has improved shift-feel and adds to the car's already fun-to-drive character, and a new six-speed automatic gains two gears along with sequential-shift.

The 2011 tC enters its second-generation riding on a new platform, including a specially tuned MacPherson strut front-suspension and a double-wishbone rear-suspension that rides lower than the previous model. Larger 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are wrapped in wider tires, giving the tC a broader stance and elevated handling characteristics. The new model also comes standard with larger 16-inch disc brakes on all corners. A new performance-tuned electronic power-steering system provides the driver a confident feel that is more in-tune with the road. The elements brought together in the new chassis result in a premium performance that expands the tC into a new dimension of driving enjoyment.

The all-new design of the 2011 tC projects a bolder and more aggressive stance. Important design cues like the helmet-inspired cabin shape were adopted from the Calty-designed Scion FUSE concept, which was unveiled at the 2006 New York Auto Show. The protruding fender flares amplify its wider, lower stance and are aggressively complemented by a sleek front grille and projector headlamps. The shape of the rear taillights flow cleanly into the overall shape of the trunk.

Inside, a driver-focused cockpit starts with a sporty new three-spoke steering wheel that features a flat bottom and a new shape that offers a confident grip. Front seats feature robust bolsters that provide secure positioning while still offering spaciousness and comfort. The instrument-panel, gauge cluster and center-console all face inward in a V-shape, making controls easily accessible.

Overall, the cabin has been lengthened for a more comfortable passenger experience with increased versatility. Utility is enhanced with reclining rear seats that split 60/40, providing more storage capacity. The panoramic moonroof remains standard in the new tC.

The new tC comes standard with an AM/FM/CD/USB audio system that features eight speakers. As with all Scion models, steering-wheel-mounted controls allow the driver to easily navigate through all of their music.

The new tC is also reinforced with key safety features and is expected to achieve top safety ratings. In addition to standard Anti-lock Brakes (ABS), the new tC also gains standard Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), traction control (TRAC), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). Active front-headrests and eight airbags are also standard, including both driver and front-passenger knee airbags.

2011 Scion tC by Five Axis (http://www.topspeed.com/cars/scion/2011-scion-tc-by-five-axis-ar87454.html)
[QUOTE]Scion today unveiled a Five Axis customized edition of the all-new 2011 Scion tC at the 2010 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). The special Five Axis Scion demonstrates one of the many ways in which the all-new tC can be customized with internal and aftermarket accessories.

The Five Axis tC carries a high–performance, racing theme with the installation of a four-inch wide-body conversion and a unique House of Color custom formulated exterior paint that is appropriately named, Bloodshot. Performance was enhanced with the installation of a Tein adjustable coil-over suspension, a TRD custom Big Brake kit, and 20-inch Yokahama Advan Sport tires mounted onto five AD R5:F wheels.

The interior complements the exterior performance and look with unique Five Axis trim and color appointments and material specifications by Zing Design. Comfort is provided with custom leather-trimmed seats with Ultrasuede

[jin602_05]

im kinda liking it... but yet i dont

[boothten]

wtf, this makes it look so stupid:
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/03/005-scion-tc.jpg

besides that profile shot, the front end looks pretty nice

[Carbonized_GT]

A nice change.

The interior seems to have been GM'd though.

[ymboc]

[jin602_05]

hp has gain! ... doesnt look bad in red.

but the side view... hmmm... :AF:

[stealthjet]

Not sure I like it. The spoiler looks kinda of odd.

[Gas-n-Grease]

ok... this new design makes the old one look better.

[7th Gen]

i like the older one more then the new 2011 model

[roaf85]

A nice change.

The interior seems to have been GM'd though.

Which is sad because I bet the interior quality is no different than what is in the next Cruze.

Interior quality was **** on the Celica as well.

[Carbonized_GT]

I was referring more to styling. The MK1 tC had an appealing somewhat unique flare to the center stack, however this one is just a recycled Pioneer deck surrounded by generic black plastic.

[jlitman]

I'm loathe to admit it, but I actually like the new tC.

However, the five axis one should be set on fire with the designers locked in the trunk.

[Celica Drift 27]

its like a new honda accord and a malibu had a child, not to mention, still wrong wheel drive.

[x310gtsx]

the old tc atleast looked clean and sleek, though fat, but this new one just looks like they ripped of a civc/accord on front end than made a camaro-ish midsection and mixed in the new four door wrx/kia for the rear end....pretty funky IMHO. the 2.5l sounds nice though.

[CelicaProject01]

i'm likin the new design cept it's a little more boxy than usual. and the rear tailights remind me of the bmw 1 series:

not to go off topic, jus sayin

[Joeggernaut]

it is what it is. A budget sport compact with fuel economy in mind and everything else sacrificed. It it still a epic fail for its value. Weak engine, crap interior, same boxy look, piss-poor resale value, and average reliability.

At least when we got a celica we got some sleek looks and good handling.

Too me the tc is too generic and looks and feels like everything else on the road...which is toyota goal from the get go. They dont give a rat ass about a small niche and go for the money which they should and i am sure they will succeed b/c they already out lasted the celica. The TC is basically a Toyota Civic.

Fuel economy in mind huh? I do not believe the tC can even compete with the Civic. The Corolla competes with the base Civic as the Civic destroys a tC in fuel economy for the same price.

The tC is basically for the people who wanted a Civic Si, but either could not find a deal on one (they are out there) or can't drive a manual.

A Civic Si would destroy a tC in everything including interior quality and even compete with it for fuel economy.

The tC is a **** car that get no better fuel economy than most entry level mid sizes cars, while costing more for insurance, and finally having worse interior quality.

[CelicaProject01]

tho it's all crappy it still has the options that don't void manufacturers warranty. they are all trd but i think that's still nice

[Carbonized_GT]

So you pay thousands of dollars for their S/C kit and still run 15s.

[CelicaProject01]

^lol true...but ppl who wanna be in the tuner scene who don't really know much about tuning can get involved...somewhat..

[Gas-n-Grease]

...options that don't void manufacturers warranty...
I don't need a stealership to install parts on my car to keep its warranty. there are other more enjoyable cars to buy for the same price.

[DJ-of-E]

Considering how the FT-86 looked.

This new tC is like a step backwards Toyota should be moving for new styles.

[Carbonized_GT]

I don't need a stealership to install parts on my car to keep its warranty. there are other more enjoyable cars to buy for the same price.

Well its not only that but, on a car like a tC or even a Civic you can easily throw on a turbo kit, run it and if anything happens, just take it off. If you do a serious power adder, you must do it right, and if you do it right, nothing should go wrong.

[roaf85]

I think you would be pretty retarded to pay 18,500 (MSRP) for a base level Scion tC that gets no better fuel economy than most mid-size cars and rates worse on insurance.

I would rather take a:

Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5L
Ford Fusion SE
Camry LE (lease)


All get better fuel economy and have better standard options as well as **** for better interior quality than the tC.

[bt216]

I saw it in person a while ago. I know someone that works on the conceptual designs for toyota/lexus. The iq is gonna be green at the show. It looks way better then the smart

[00toyogts]

i just don't understand how the scion has managed to stay in business this long...6 years is too much. they need to scrap this project.

[CelicaProject01]

they're milkin it as much as they can but ppl still buy it so they feel that the milking is substantiated :D

For 18k you can get a fully loaded Fit Sport, That would be my choice if i needed a gas sipper.

[Klint]

2.5 L 180 hp <1.8 L 180 hp.

[Carbonized_GT]

Debatable.

[Robo56]

I feel upset that they can even call this the "Celica Replacement".

That's like a slap in the face.

[KageRyu7]

whats the possibility of taking the 6speed auto out of this and sticking it in a gts celica?

[roaf85]

For 18k you can get a fully loaded Fit Sport, That would be my choice if i needed a gas sipper.

It isn't the fact that you need a gas sipper it is the fact that if you have a 2 door car that excels at nothing performance wise and is over priced why would you get it over a nicer 4 door mid sized sedan?

[HardtopGTS]

Interesting. Most newcelica posters dislike the 1st gen tC but like the new 2nd gen. Over on Scionlife most the current tC owners love their gen but dislike the new 2nd gen.

In fact I this is pretty much a fact. It is probably the best sports coupe.

Assuming it would even fit, you'd also have to get both ECU's working in parallel... good luck with all of that.

[terrj]

Dude, id take the GT-S over this turd.

[ikhaffaji]

I think anybody would take a GTS over this turd.

[Carbonized_GT]

Now if said person was in the market for a brand new car, a 10 year old Toyota would hardly come up on their list. So I think people would rather have a Civic Si over the tC.

[celica_2nr]

i would definitely take the new si over the tc. btw my friend was telling me that the new si's are gonna be turbo but they wont offer a manual. i think theyll only be offered with paddle shifters. dont quote me on that tho thats what my friend was telling me.

alot of companies r moving away from tradtional manuals. like ferrari i think has said the california will be the last true 6 speed manual for them

[Carbonized_GT]

There is a huge difference between a Ferrari A/T and a Toyota A/T. For cars like the ones found in the sport compact segment, a M/T is far superior to an A/T.

[oakley88]

o i know what what you are saying i was just saying. the a/t found in the cheaper cars are nowhere near as good as the higher end ones. there just seems to be a push for a/t in every car in this country.

Thats because the American Public is lazy.

[roaf85]

Thats because the American Public is lazy.

And because automatics are more efficient or at least there is a greater ability to make an automatic more efficient at highway speeds than a manual.

[Kangaruu]

Orr they can just make manual gears to be taller?? :confused:

[Zero]

Bwahaha! The rear is so fvcking ugly! It frickin' boxes out from a curvy front end.
I am digging the front end, looks aggressive enough to give it a double-take.

It's horrible how Toyota incorporated the Scion Fuse roof line into this tC variant. It's crap, no, SH!T.

I was beginning to wonder if there would be a new model tC seeing how it's been going on with a refresh unlike the xB, xA, and xD. (Sort of.) Then I click this thread and am disappointed.

[roaf85]

Orr they can just make manual gears to be taller?? :confused:

No they can't. You have to realize that a manual needs to be a certain gearing ratio because at different elevations (hills etc) an auto has the ability to drop gears to keep the cruise control, whereas a manual does not.

Face it things like CVTs are better technologies than a traditional manual and the EPA figures are better.

[DJ-of-E]

I concur with roaf85's statement. Strictly speaking of MPG and NOT OVERALL POWER. Which btw, I think CVT has not yet surpassed tradition manual overall as of today, but may one day will very very soon as it further develops and improves.

In the past, it's usually manual that's more efficient than automatic. However, then there's the fact that we didn't have 200+ sensors in the cars. Now we hit the point where car can be controlled by the computer to match the ideal settings to its environment.

Toyota's AT, while cannot match power with MT, pretty much matches MPG to MT. Honda's AT is only slightly worst MPG for city, but is better MPG than MT on highways. Nissan Altimas has worst MPG on their 6 speed MT than their automatic counterparts.

Wow. I think I'm the only one that kind of likes the styling?

The camry 4cyl is offered with a 6 speed manual. I'll be suprised if they dont offer it for the tC as well.

Update!

Scion tC Convertible: First Look at the Youth Brand's Future Drop Top (http://www.insideline.com/scion/tc/2011/scion-tc-convertible-first-look-at-the-youth-brands-future-drop-top.html)
Just the Facts:
* Scion could launch a tC convertible in 2012.
* The new drop top would be based on the redesigned 2011 tC coupe.
* It would be the first convertible for the Scion division.

The future Scion tC convertible is expected to share the 2011 tC coupe's new 180-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual or a six-speed sequential-shift automatic, both of which are new for 2011. Those engines, of course, power the four-seater's front wheels.

As Scion's most popular model, the tC coupe already has 30 percent of the Toyota sub-brand's sales under its low beltline. In convertible form, the tC coupe would be the car to help Scion recover its lost youth-oriented appeal. The entry-level convertible market isn't exactly rife with options, and the tC convertible is bound to be nicely packaged with a power-operated soft top, as Scion has a history of giving its buyers a lot for a little.

Instead of new model designs, Scion designers like to mash up existing vehicles with one another.

The rear is atrocious and kills the flow of a nicely styled front end.

the Hyundai accent gt coupe

I see a little of it. Very little. I also see some Mustang convertible in the rear.

Look at the main demographic who buy TC's anyway....

Also I think the new TC looks like a foot. I like the last one better. It(new one) looks less aggressive and more like a Camry.

[6_SPEED_DEMON]

It has no asss & those tail lights look like they came off old camry:thumbdown

[FrostsCelicaGTS]

Personally I dont like anything scion.Big deal it now boasts 180hp the celica did that 10 years ago and the technologly im sure is still better than that of this tc. Their all cheaply made its basically toyotas buy a brand new car and throw it away in a couple years and get nothing for it brand. The interior doesnt flow looks like crap. The out side of the car the rear quarter windows dont even look like they should belong there. Dont even get my started on the rear. And the convertible verision junk. 2 big thumbs down for the scion tc

[trdmsprts27]

the first series TC looks better

[Dyno&Cecilia]

looks like a corolla crossover :/ eh

[ahfunaki]

Not a huge fan, but I don't hate it either...

[GLERINK]

Not a huge fan, but I don't hate it either...

feel the same way even thou the new tc to me it actually looks more like the ford fusion (ugly)

[kaminaricelica7]

it doesnt look too bad, imo

[DARK-Blue]

Doesn't look sporty anymore more like a family car

[Toxygene]

It looks like an accountant threw up all over it. It has no real styling to speak of. The interior looks like the inside of a crematorium. Those triple faux gauge A/C controls bug the **** out of me. It's still front wheel drive, and I bet this thing will finally put the beginning of the nail in the coffin for the TC. At least the old one was kind of like a mini Lexus in styling compared to this hobbled together piece of junk.

Even if parents get their kids these cars, it's so horrible of a value that I hate to say that I would hope that Honda slays Scion out of existence.

[93celidroptop]

I like it. You guys might remenber that a lot of old school celica owners hated the 7th gen when it showed up also, but for some of us the styling grew and I kind of like em now, still think its styled for a girls but overall I like the 7th gen gts. I would buy one if all my money wasn't wrapped up in. My 5th gen vert. And the new tc's taillights came from the avalon. Once we see them in person at the dealers I think some opipions will change about the tc. Let's face it that's where toyota is going well never see another celica or supra or a new ae86. And as far as I know the ft86 isn't going to come out and if it does it will most likley be a suburu.

Gurnade 2011 Scion tC Tjin Edition (http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2010/08/2011-scion-tc-tjin-edition-tuner-car-rendered-by-gurnade.html)
In light of the recent release of the new Scion tC, Gurnade and Tjin Edition have teamed up to design their own interpretation of the new Scion coupe. Due to the newly fashioned sculpted roof, the car has been outfitted with wide box-like fenders, aggressive front fascia, and matching sideskirts. Although, the design doesn’t stop there! To complete the look, the roof was chopped nearly 4 inches, and the rear windows were extended to visually lengthen the car. Deep-dish DPE wheels, Status racing seats, harness bar, custom grille, Webasto sunroof, HID headlights, and slammed stance thanks to Air Lift suspension also add to the visual appeal and design.

This isn’t the first time that Gurnade and Tjin Edition have teamed up. Last year, Neil Tjin turned to Gurnade to complete his green Chevrolet Camaro. Gurnade will not be building this Scion for SEMA 2010. You will, however, see Gurnade all over SEMA this year. The guys are proud to say they will have five Gurnade designed vehicles at SEMA in three different OEM booths–some sporting custom parts, kits, and products. SEMA is still a few months away, so in the meantime follow Gurnade on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/gurnade) and check out the soon-to-be launched site at www.gurnade.com.

2011 Scion tC to Start at $18,970; Hits Showrooms October 1 (http://wot.motortrend.com/6701424/auto-news/2011-scion-tc-to-start-at-18970-hits-showrooms-october-1/index.html)
Scion's revamped 2011 tC coupe will see just a slight gain in price when it arrives at dealers later this year, with manual versions starting at $18,970 and automatic-equipped cars starting at an even grand more -- $19,970. Both prices include a mandatory $720 destination fee. The 2010 manual-equipped tC starts at 18,440 with the current $620 destination fee.

Sheet metal that's slightly more aggressive than the current verison, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, and a restyled center stack give the 2011 tC a much-needed cosmetic update on what is otherwise Scion's longest-running, unchanged car. The first tC debuted in 2004.

The mechanicals haven't been neglected either, with a 180-horsepower, 173-pound-foot 2.5-liter I-4 taking the old 2.4-liter four-banger's place, and the existing four-speed automatic and five-speed manual gearboxes having been replaced with two new six-speed units. Overall dimensions remain the same though slightly larger brakes sit under redesigned wheels.

Scion tC Convertible Will Not See Light of Day (http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2010/08/scion-tc-convertible-will-not-see-light-of-day.html)
"There is no tC convertible planned nor being discussed," Jack Hollis, vice president of Scion told Inside Line.

He added that convertibles skew toward a female audience, whereas Scion is courting men in their 20s.

"It doesn't mean there's not room for one, and we continually look at different designs for convertibles, but we just haven't found anything we've gotten all excited about for Scion," Hollis said.

First Drive: 2011 Scion tC (http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/driven/1008_2011_scion_tc/index.html)
Um, yeah, as I was saying. tC = cute little car. Fun little car. Funner than before, actually. Better-looking, too. Faster, also. More efficient, even. And only marginally more expensive. Looks like Scion dealers have something to keep them busy until the totally awesome, totally different iQ comes out later this year.

First Drive: 2011 Scion tC (http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/1008_2011_scion_tc_first_drive/index.html)
Sophomore Surprise: Entry-Level Performer Grows Up

Which leads us to the single most improved aspect of the Scion tC, the new engine. Capacity has grown by just 0.1 liter to 2.5; however, output has increased to 180 horsepower (a 19-pony improvement) and torque has grown to 173 pound-feet (up 11). Comparing the new with the old, in the previous car, the engine was out of juice by about 65 mph. The new mill has no problem getting up to 80 mph and staying there. It's just a much more serious motor. As important, mileage has increased along with the bumps in power and torque. The old tC automatic got 21 mpg city/29 mpg highway and a combined EPA score of 24 mpg (the manual managed just 20/27/23). The new Scion gets 23 city/31 highway and a respectable 26 mpg overall with either transmission.

If the original tC is the first-generation car, logic dictates that the 2011 tC would be the second generation. Thing is, the new tC feels like a third- or even a fourth-generation effort. It's that improved, that refined, that much better. Whereas the old tC was simply a smartly styled, semi-sporty value proposition, the new car is actually quite an eye opener -- as in, we weren't expecting to like the 2011 Scion tC as much as we did. Luckily we like surprises. The biggest downside? An $1150 leap in price over the 2010 model. But please trust us: This is money well spent.

2011 Scion tC - Driving Impressions (http://www.roadandtrack.com/tests/impressions/2011-scion-tc)
A sportier presentation of the young person’s coupe.

The new tC is a completely different animal than its predecessor. The chassis has been stiffened dramatically, as each bump in the road was communicated to the driver through the seats and steering wheel. And speaking of that wheel, it’s a new design with a super thick rim; in fact, a bit too thick for my tastes. Thick rim or not, the tC’s handling was sharp. Although it did feel front- heavy through tight corners, the car maintained good overall balance through the high-speed turns, while turn-in felt crisp. The suspension system—MacPherson struts up front and upper and lower A-arms at the rear, did a commendable job keeping the car stable, although a semi-choppy ride quality results from the stiff tuning. But this is a sports coupe, and a bit of ride harshness is just part of the deal.

The engine exhibited excellent low-range tractability, although I wish there was a bit more punch in the upper rev range. Still, it gets the job done, powering the car to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds, according to Toyota, while letting out a growl that I can’t recall hearing in a Toyota product since the Celica. The new 2011 tC will arrive at dealerships this fall with a base price of $18,275 for the manual and $19,275 for the automatic.

First Drive: 2011 Scion tC is a bolder swipe at Generation Y (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/06/2011-scion-tc-first-drive-road-test/)

All in all, Scion has shot off just about a perfect bullseye with its latest tC. It no longer looks like the car your girlfriend's best friend would drive, and it's a competent driver with plenty of room for aftermarket and dealer-installed upgrades. You won't be challenging Volkswagen GTIs, V6 Ford Mustangs or Hyundai Genesis Coupes, but that's okay. Some people just want a stylish car that's cheap to buy and economical to drive. And, at its $18,275 well-equipped starting price, that's exactly what Scion has crafted with the 2011 tC.
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/08/12sciontcfd2011-1281073792.jpg

Apparently, it's much improved. Time for a test drive.

Update!

2011 Scion tC - First Drive Review (http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/10q3/2011_scion_tc-first_drive_review)
The new tC doesn’t mess with success.

Decent to Drive

On our drive, the steering and suspension proved to be on the firm side. The tC cuts a tight, concise path through corners and resists your palm motions with more manly weighting than your typical Toyota. The new steering wheel feels great—a big ring to sink your fingers into. There’s not much body lean or bob either, which is nice in a sporty coupe. However, rotten street surfaces extract their payment from the chassis and 225/45 tires in the form of some jiggles and the occasional jarring thump.

Scion claims that a shorter intake and retuned exhaust have perked up the tC’s voice, but if it has, the change made no impression on us. The engine sounds willingly efficient and pulls hard and smooth to its 6200-rpm redline, but a Honda in full VTEC fury still sounds better. Larger brakes do what larger brakes do: stop better, or at least feel like they’re stopping better, with a pedal that is solid and strong.

Judging from the marketing guff, Scions aren’t so much cars as rolling stereo delivery devices. The new tC has a standard eight-speaker/tweeter/woofer battery that borrows bits from the Lexus LX570. The upgrade option, a 340-watt max-power Alpine unit with a 4.3-inch touch screen, looks deliberately aftermarket with its metallic-looking knobs and microscopic buttons. A navigation module can be added to that Alpine unit, and Scion also offers another navigation head unit with a seven-inch touch screen. USB and AUX ports are standard.

Hollis drew a snicker from this reporter when he loudly proclaimed in the tC’s press conference that “we’re not mainstream!” History indicates that the more forcefully a car company declares that it is not mainstream, the less likely it is to be true. By fearing to evolve the bestselling tC into something more unexpected, Scion proves that, in this case, it’s quite happy to stay right in the middle of the stream.

TEAM NFS: TIME ATTACK EXTREME (http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010/08/05/announcement-gt-gt-team-nfs-time-attack-extreme.aspx)
In these two arenas, crazed car builders are still encouraged to create insane speed contraptions. And I'm rather pleased to announce that the madness is going to be escalated to a whole new level with the debut of Chris Rado's new Team NFS World Racing AWD Scion tC.

Yes the little beast is finally going to be hitting the track!

This car has been a few years in the making and was first discussed when Chris and I were kicking around ideas for a Need for Speed LIVE Brands Hatch event two year ago. Rado really wanted a machine to take on the world's fastest time attack cars, so an all new AWD Scion project would be needed. The event project didn't come to fruition, but the AWD Scion tC was going to become a reality. Chris would make sure of that.

Voila finished!

I was speaking to Chris on the phone yesterday and he's pretty excited to finally have two more wheels of driven power! His plan is to be putting down in excess of 1100 crankshaft HP with this thing, so AWD is a complete necessity.

Some of you may recall that the old 1980's turbo F1 cars had so much power that they would run extreme amounts of wing, to the point of stalling the air. But gobs of horsepower means that Prost and Senna's machines could power their way through the resultant drag and generate large amounts of downforce.

No TRD version for Scion tC (http://www.7tune.com/news-update-no-trd-version-for-tc-scion/)
According to Craig Taguchi from the Scion Public Relations office in California, buyers of the Scion tC will have the option to purchase each or all of the following upgrades:

* Lowering springs
* Front and rear sway bar kit
* Exhaust System
* Modified Intake
* Short shifter kit
* 19-inch wheels and tires
* TRD brake kit with cross drilled rotors (front)

The changes should make a substantial mechanical difference to the car but no word was given on whether these modifications will also include aesthetic upgrades.

7tune contacted Taguchi for details on the parts being included in the catalog, but no details were provided. Taguchi did mention that pricing for the Scion tC parts catalog will be coming out within the next week, so expect some more news shortly.

How're they still only getting 180hp from a 2.5L? They must not yet be doing direct injection, for starters. Hyundai's getting 200hp from the same size displacement.

Its the new Camry motor. Its made for low to midrange torque and fuel economy - not really for power. (note that it has an -FE designation motor, not a -GE). The 2.4 it replaced only made 160 HP.

The good news is that all this means I should be able to make a ton of power once I start playing with it. :D

I drive a Tc and saw the new tc about a month ago on tv for like 10 seconds and got so freaking excited until I got online and actually saw the car. Ugh it so freaking ugly! I mean i understand that almost all vehicles by scion look like a box but why did they have to turn the tc into that as well. I would never upgrade to it. Someone asked about the cruise control i actually have the same knob as well looks pretty much like the one in celicas as well unless that was a joke and i just somehow missed it. Most people will say a tc looks more like a girl car but i will say they kinda took away from that with the new tc but its still freaking ugly as heck!

Don't feel bad - thats true in a lot of places. When the economy tanked a ton of plans got put on hold.

I've been to a dealership in MS that was located in an old bowling alley - the service department was where the pin setters used to be. It had 1 lift and you had to drive down 4 feet below ground level to get into the service area. It was a horrible little hellhole of a shop. Compared to them your place is probably a palace.

[TeamXceli]

just saw one in person i gotta admit its pretty sick, didnt get to drive it but i definatly have to saw looks wise its an upgrade in comparison to the first gen

[Boosted2.0]

Yeah, I'm really digging the grey and black ones. White with dark tint actually looks pretty good too.

[xantonin]

I think it's funny how a few people I know thought the tC was a RWD...

[Boosted2.0]

Drove one home last night (6 speed manual) and I was pretty impressed. Its a huge improvement over the first tC.

The power is still a little less than what I would like, but its definitely improved and its peppy and torquey enough to have fun with it. The transmission shifts beautifully and has nice gating and a good solid feel - they must have improved the cables and shifter mounting designs.

The pedal placement is great - heel toe was easy peasy Japanesey.

The handling is solid and planted. It doesn't suffer from nearly as much body roll as the first gen and it seems very composed when changing lanes and cornering. (not that I get to do much cornering in a Houston commute)

Stereo is pretty great, but thats expected in a new Scion.


So yeah - still not a "sports car", but a huge improvement and pretty damn fun to drive.

[chillan420]

love the 3 way components in the doors. I would cut them out and fiberglass speaker pods in each little circle. would be easy as cake and awesome placement.

Figured I would post an update. I've had my tC for a couple months now as my daily and I'm still loving it. The car is hands down more fun to drive as a daily than the Celica was. Its just sooooo much nicer of a power band.

No tickets yet, which suprises me.

The car is still buttoned up and no squeaks or rattles wither which is a HUGE improvement over the last tC. All in all I really like it. I'm seriously thinking of buying one in white now though - it just looks so awesome in white with dark tint and the spoiler.

[xantonin]

Isn't this Scion using the 2AR-FE? I think it's funny if so because the F designates it has an economy narrow-angle valve DOHC instead of performance... heh

[hulkster]

i actually liked the first tc over this one in the looks department that is. i know they had to make it more manly looking to attract more guys into buying. looks like a cross between a tc and xb.but kudos on them increasing power and torque.

[Boosted2.0]

Yep - its a 2AR.

And engine designation aside, it has waaay more power on demand over 95% of the rev range than the 2ZZ does. Don't get me wrong - I still have a 00 GTS and my spyder and love the 2ZZ and wish they would have put a 2.5 liter version of it in the tC. But it is what it is - more fun to drive day to day.

I can't wait to try it with a nice fast spooling turbo on it.

Same here, I have 2 friends with TCs (they arent girls and they mod their car) and they dont like the new TCs either in terms of body style. Personally I dont care for either but I think the new one looks less chick car like (still is though) compared to the older ones because at least the new ones are boxier and less curvy. However once they get modded they might look good, just wouldnt care to own one but can appreciate the work/effort put into it.

Eh, personal taste I guess. I like the first-gen more, especially the later models. The new tC is too boxy for me. The front end is fine but after the a-pillars it seems really square-ish.

Yep thats what it all comes down to. I agree that the front end isnt bad, but nearing the rear it just doesnt flow for lack of a better description.

[2NDchnceCELI]

to me it looks like they tried to give it the visual of a rwd car by flaring out the rear end too much and the square tails remind me of a stang for some reason :thumbdown:

The car looks fvcking retarded, thanks to that roof. Looks like it's supposed to be a 4 door luxury sedan, but they ran out of money for the rear doors. Put in 2 more doors and label it a Camry, I think people would dig it.

Did you know that even though its got 2 fully functional backup light sockets and reflectors integrated inside the tail lights, it only has ONE back up bulb. The other side has a plastic plug in it with a screw. We had numerous people come and complain that one of their backup lights isn't working. HAAAAA I don't get it.

[TRD01GT]

2011. I looked in the owners manual and even there it shows 1 back up light. I was confused the first time. But now everyone is like "aaah yes, let me show you" lol I wonder if its for euro models to be fitted with a rear fog... or for lower cost of manufacturing.... dunno, but its pretty dumb lol

Update!

2011 Scion tC, an AW Drivers Log (http://www.autoweek.com/article/20110131/CARREVIEWS/110139981)
I must say, I'm rather impressed with the improvements Scion has made to the second-generation tC. Everything from the freshened and more distinctive sheetmetal, to the more attractive interior and, most of all, the driving standpoint are impressive for a $19,000 sports coupe. That's not to take away from the previous car because that was a good piece, too, but it was getting a bit tired, and you can only take so many Release Series special-edition versions.

The new car sits on a retuned version of the previous platform with an updated suspension still featuring MacPherson struts in front and double wishbones out back, thicker antiroll bars and wider 18-inch wheels and tires as standard equipment. A new electric power-steering system includes a quicker 14.8:1 ratio compared with the old hydraulic system's 17.7:1 ratio.

Under the hood, the tC receives a new 2.5-liter I4 with 180 hp and 173 lb-ft of torque for a 19 hp and 11 lb-ft bump over the outgoing model's 2.4-liter engine, and it is connected to a standard six-speed manual transmission in place of the old five-speed unit. There are bigger brakes at all four corners, too.

If the exterior looks a bit familiar (particularly the C-pillar shape), it shouldn't be a surprise because styling is influenced by the Fuse concept introduced way back in 2006 at the New York auto show. The interior is comfortable, attractive and is without the plastic door that covered up the radio head unit in the old car, which was pretty pointless in my mind. Being a more value-oriented sports coupe, it's all hard plastics for the majority of the surfaces, but Scion did do well when it came to the main contact point between the driver and the car: the steering wheel. It's thick-rimmed with a flat bottom and is wrapped in nice leather.

As for the drive, well, for $19,000, it's a heck of a deal. Steering response is nearly instant with a good feel and weight from the electric power-steering system. Through corners it holds a tight line with minimal body roll. Grip levels are impressively high for a front-wheel-drive car, which has gained a bit of weight--128 pounds to be exact--when you compare manual-equipped versions. Obviously, understeer is the result if you get too hot into a turn.

Ride quality is good with only really big bumps and potholes, giving you a good rattle inside the cabin. Interior noise insulation is also decent without too much wind and tire noise seeping in.

The drivetrain is a respectable combo with a nice shifting manual gearbox and the engine provides good muscle with a linear powerband. It doesn't match the smoothness of, say, the Volkswagen GTI or the Honda Civic Si, but those also cost a fair amount more. The Honda Civic Si coupe begins at $22,955 and the two-door VW GTI with manual transmission starts at $24,460, which are both a pretty far cry from $18,995 of this tC.

Sure, the Scion isn't as powerful and doesn't have as nice of an interior as the other two, but for a guy or a gal on a budget looking for a fairly sporty ride, the tC is mighty attractive.

[Boosted2.0]

Exactly what I've been saying. I still really enjoy driving mine to work every day. So much so that a DD Performance Research standalone EMS and Turbo kit are a real possibility right now.

[lamboceliGTS]

I went in one at a car show and I think it's cheap. The outside is hideous and I wouldn't drive one period.

Forget Second Fiddle, Scion's Other Coupe Can Barely Play the Triangle

Had we been given a fresher car, the results may have been different. But based on what we experienced, the tC is a mid-pack performer at best. Sometimes you just get handed a dud, and we hope for Scion's sake, that was the case with this car. If not, perhaps Scion should reevaluate the need for two coupes in its lineup.

the tC release series 7.0 is nothing special besides the color of the exterior, TRD lip kit ,honeycomb grill, TRD push-to-start, seat upholstery, and gloss black tC wheels. What the dealership told us is you can get the same stuff put on a regular tC as options ( except for the seats,black wheels) . no performance upgrades whatsoever, not even TRD springs or stock HIDs -___-


i do like the car due to the interior space and drives pretty nice when just cruising, but i would rather have the FR-S or is300.


friend's final pricing: 29k after taxes and fees. His sister does have a Scion tC release series 3.0 which is what also motivated him to get the 7.0

Poppycock. I would take an 8th gen Si over a tC RS any day and save a nice chunk of change in the process. Tell him to man up :wiggle:

Also, I'm assuming that by "is3000" you meant the IS300, which does in fact come with an automatic transmission if he really wanted an auto. Actually, all of the USDM IS300s were automatic at first and it wasn't until later on that they added a 6-speed manual as an option. It's somewhat difficult to find a well taken-care of IS300 these days but I'm sure there are quite a few out there for much cheaper than the $29K that your friend just wasted on a tC.

But hey, to each his own, I guess...

all is300's were auto until they offered a manual in 2002. i would say lot of them here are in good condition. dont see many of them beaten here in FL.$29K that your friend just wasted on a tC.

yep .he said that he is kinda regretting its since the RS 7.0 was 29k. i told him the civic si since it just plain easy to mod. even a hondata reflash will show decent gains on a 06-11 si

29k, I'd rather get a used Evo or 370z auto, at least those cars have great gearing for "auto" haha.
