what are you talking about, lip kit?


they would never sell the one on the red tc2 its a one off

why ar people talking about it being purchasable?

 

The cars at the show with unlocked doors have no shift ***** to prevent theft. I assume they did the same with the antenna.

 

Oh man, this will be the first time I think I have ever used this phrase.

Epic, and I mean EPIC fail on the new TC.

Epic.......oh...........That's all I got. So glad I bought an 06.

 

True but it shows the tc2 got potential to look good and it's not a failure in the styling department to me.

 

honestly the new tc imo is just plain nasty. the onlt thing i am interested in is sum dumb kid to destroy their car and swap dat tranny into mine =)

 

i really like the exterior ....but not the interior

 

true, but i didn't need that to see it's potential. I'd be in the styling business if i had the cash.

 

Food for thought...

The girl standing next to the new tC said they think the pricing will be something like $19k-$20k. I don't know how close to that it will be - but that's what she said.

If that's the case. Even if it is only $19k... that's absurd, IMO. But there you go.

 

i also dislike the stubby rear deck area - reminds me of the stubby rear deck area on the bmw 1-series...

looks like the lights are 1-series-ish also.... l0l

 

i def dont like it really ruined the look of the car now i think it looks like an accord

 

Yikes, that would be a bad move

 

fixed.

 

This is exactly what would cause me not to buy it. It should be 18k at the very most. Spec versions would be nice even cheaper w/o the 18s. When do you think they will be available to test drive?

 

Tell me about it.

Still technically rumor... but ya, damn.

 

19 will not be a bad move. You have all the limited addition tCs that came out with that price range. So Scion knows people can afford to finance a few more bucks. Your getting a bigger engine and a better tranny. How can you say this is a bad move. IMO thats just being to demanding and unrealistic if you think the tC will be under 19 but we will see when it comes out.

 

I know this is only a dream but I think in order for Toyota/Scion to sell the number of tC's they're projecting it seems like it would need to come in at ~$16.5K. Once they go into the ~$19-$20K I think there are more cars out there that are comparable, if not better, than the tC. What do you think?

 

When I got mine in 05... I think it was $16k even... I was really hoping for about $17k with this on (obviously less would be awesome, but have to be realistic). You also have to consider that it'll go up in subsequent years by $500 or so as most cars do... so 2 or 3 years from now, we're going to be over $20k for not that much car (not $20k worth of car anyway).

 

You're exactly right, I bought my 07 for $13K in 08, it had 15,000 miles on it but still. It certainly isn't worth $20K by any means.

 

Looks like dodge designed the new tc. i wonder if its a bored out 2azfe or a whole new engine. lets hope potential 6 speed swaps can happen. but it did look like the redline was around 7K so a little taller gears would be nice too. there could be few ups to this car. but over all it looks cheaper than the 1st tc.

 

in lines with the talk about pricing...

these essentially are economy cars so i am wondering why this thing (even the current tc) has 17" / 18" rims stock... this would save a few hundred $ to the customer if it came with 16" steelies and then let the customer buy rims THEY want... just like the xb - comes with steelies/hubcaps and then you can customize it.... scion would then be able to keep the price down making the car that much more appealing.

i dig the new tc but it would suck if it was closer to 20k. my shot in the dark guess is that starting is going to be 17k for the manual, low 18s for the auto.
