Clip from cars.com. And in the comments is myself(202tC) replying to inform that bolt-ons on a tC will not net you any horsepower near that of a Civic Si(current gen).

nice pictures... i like the front... but the back is horrible!!!! those tails and especially the trunk piece in the middle is very very ugly!

btw a new si wont pull more than two cars on a stock tc... im pretty sure this new tc could keep up with the new si.

The top of the hatch is way to small in my opinion. The distance from the end of the back window to the end of the hatch is just way to short. Makes it look stubby but I'm sure a nice Viniati spoiler would look great

well then, if you guys are all gonna continue nit picking this car, i'll say( and I owned one) the tC1 had that stubby back end too. I never liked the fact it had that mile long frontal overhang and 2 inches of rear overhang. tC2 has the same thing. so invalid complaint

Ha I didn't mean to offend. That looks like crap especially on the gen2 with the way the rear window is squared at the bottom. Don't try and tell me my complaint is invalid. This car has alot of ugly points. This being one of them! Lol and yes we will all continue to nitpick this car. Scion Fed up and they will feel it when no one buys it

Yes but at this point its not about what they have done for us. Its what they should continue to do for us! N btw I also like the stubby rear end. I just don't like the top of the hatch

I like the red one a lot! Minus the wide body of-course. The rear valence and wing adds an aggressive touch to it. That - wide body + Current or "tweaked" interior = Win IMO.

This just sounds like you don't know how to manage your money. I've made a killing off this economy.

alright heres my 2 cents.

first off has anybody else thought of painting the blacked out part of the a-pillars to match the color of the car? i just think it interupts the flow of the roof line. might help it look more rounded.

doc-i wont have to make a radiator plate anymore.. sucks bc he did a good job with his design for the first gen

were they in such a rush they didnt make an engine cover yet?

and what happened to making it rear-wheel drive? did i miss something?

you, know i totally missed the fact the a-pillars are black. I'm sure it can be peeled off like the xB2. and what is the obsession with engine covers anyway? all they are are heat insulators if you ask me...


And Carbon, it doens't mean I didn't manage my money right. I lost my profession over all that. and there is no going back. there is no future in retail anymore. I am doing just fine with my college and learning elitrical and automated process. Like prgramming PLC's and VFD's, troubleshooting electric motors and circuits.

of course i know that they are heat insulators and do a slight bit to decrease valve noise.. (and by slight i mean slight) im just saying it would have helped the new tc a lil by dressing up the engine bay. but knowing the current designers and their choices for the new tc, they probably would have made it look weird too.
