I need help deciding guys. This is killing me! Thank goodness the tC didn't turn out like the concept. Eww!

Anyway, if I wait for the tC, i'll get a more powerful scion. What do you guys think? Any advice?

Default Can U wait till Jan 5?

Can you wait a little more than 30 days to make up your mind? I say this because the Everything about Tc will be fully released at the Jan Det auto show. Myself I thought about a Xb, but I'm thinking really hard about the Tc. I can wait, can you?

Well, Mr. Segarion, now you have this xA, but will you trade that xA for the tC that we have in this box...

That's a tough call to make.
just keep in mind they are going to be different from eachother in enough ways that you'll figure out which is better suited to you.

The tC is going to be awesome, but I would't buy one because it's 2 doors...I need 4 doors for all the people/stuff I haul around, which is why I bought an xB. It will be faster because of the bigger engine and light weight, and is going to be more expensive.

The xA has the versatility of 4 doors, is less expensive, gets better MPG, and has already been released, hence a lot of aftermarket stuff is already being developed

Just pick which one you like better...it's a personal choice.

i can't sugges anything yet... cuz i have not seen any real pix of the TC...but if u can afford it...go with TC...although it may cost about $5,000 more than the xA.

As they said, TC will be a liftback...i think it might be classified more like the Mercedes C230 sport coupe..that ugly hatchback by benz..wat a waste of money. But as for the TC... i think it will be a bargain.

I might trade mine in for the TC maybe next year...depending how it looks...i know the powerplant will be much more powerful than any of the current scions...

we shall see

it will probably be better to wait so you can drive both cars.

Wait until January's Los Angeles Auto Show...the TC will be there, or so I've heard from some people here.

I for one am very excited about it's unveiling, because it'll finally make people fully aware that Scion isn't just another cookie cutter-will be gone in a couple of years fad type brand.

I really think the tC will solidify the Scion brand and expand it's market share tenfold...because of people like the tC, they'll come in and also see the xA/xB already sittin there.

Just wait it out, listen and look for all the details and make a good comparison after they are both released. There is no current shortage of xAs right now, so there really isn't a rush to buy one...these things aren't McLaren F1s!!!

Yep. I'll definitely wait till January to see how hot the tC will be. I just want a fast car
so I'll feel more comfortable making this scary left across 3 lanes of traffic to get to work each day. It's a lot scaroer when your driving a 93 civic dx automatic. Let's just say I've had some scary moments on that turn. Heh.

I kinda have an idea as to the pros and cons of what I want.

The xA is cheaper and whatever money I have saved up, I can put down towards a new stylish kit with some sweet looking rims. I work at a bank and I need a styling new car to go with my suit. Sure I can go with different brands but I'm just smitten by Scion's new cars.

The tC, well, I know little but with a 2.4L engine, I can guess it has some omfp factor behind it. AND, IF it looks hot like how I'm dreaming it to be, that will justify me using the money I've saved up for a down payement on the tC, since it'll definitely cost more than the xA.

Well, anyway, i'll just wait like everyone else and try not to stark raving mad doing so. Thanks for the help guys! ({: )
