Wow... Even without the wing, it's really bad...

The roofline is just weird, and the area around the hatch opening is a mess... What's with that big piece around the badge & 3rd brake light?

And why put little scion logos on the tail lights? Save the effort and give us LEDs.

That is the piece for dumb people to break off when they don't know how to properly open the hatch.

They should have kept the current tC's roof line. It wouldn't seem as awkward then.

Hahahaha. I remember all the countless threads started because people broke it. How? I don't know. I've opened my hatch by the garnish while it was covered in snow and it didn't break.

Yeah, the flat roof line, the headlights, the indentation thing on the doors at the bottom, the fender bulge going into the decklid. The only problem with it, is that nothing works with how they actually made the car.

I agree with someone above here who said we shoulda had LED tail lights and signals.

The 3/4 view of the rear in the picture above looks like the back of the Celica complete with the little indentations near where the hatch and tail lights meet, and the C-pillar is bigger than ever.

Combine that C-pillar with those ridiculously huge rear headrests and you have the worlds largest blindspot...second only to a panel van.

All though they did cover up that terrible looking gap between the radiator and the bumper in the engine bay with a nice little cover. So at least they got that right...but...wait...whats that...no engine cover?

The 2AR-FE (2.5) engine fails HARD for those looking to boost. It has a compression ratio of 10.4:1. Have u ever seen anyone with a ratio above 10.0:1 safely run boost?
