I believe that the 06's have 5 speed autos.

I'm trying to invision the copper color of the neon SRT-4 on the tC. its not working though, I'll have to go photoshop it, but I think a blazing orange or lime green metallic (like orange and green you can get for a mercielago) something that would look hot would be a paint job like the early 60's corvette mako shark concept (for those of you who don't know what that looks like, its navy blue metallic on top fading down to white at the bottom.) and btw, there already is a midnight blue, its called indigo ink pearl.

the camo green on the xb would look good on the tc, and the xb is losing the camo green for 06. that would be cool if they did that so they can use it on the tc rs 2.0. no other color changes have been made but the green for the xb as far as i know. hmmm.....

Based on what Scion has done with the rest of the RS series, it will most likely be a color that Toyota already has in its model lineup. Hot lava is a standard color on the bB in Japan, Absolute Red comes on the Celica and Solara, Solar Yellow comes on the Celica, and Spectra Blue Mica comes on the Tundra and the Rav.

Maybe the Speedway Blue from the X-Runner would look cool, I think Toyota will make it a brighter color rather than a dark one, it wasn't a mistake that Toyota does not offer bright colors on the standard Scions, it makes the RS series more noticable.

i'd like to see a green or a dark purple/blue (burple) color. i'm sure it won't come with anything special like a supercharger. probably just different wheels, interior, grille, and LEDs....

i'm not going to expect anything major for the RS2.0, i just hope it isn't lava or yellow. i would not like to see something that flashy. i'm thinking of my cousins lava colored pontiac grand am, ugh....

green should win, scion needs another green

I think the tC would look sick in a sand or champaigne metallic color(Like the Flint Mica paint job.). With tinted windows standard. On 18"s or 19"s & TRD Springs. HOT! HOT! HOT!

I'd like to see where Scion says it'll have a 5 speed auto. I just searched on Google and the only results that mentioned it were people from this site... which is hardly reliable for information like that.

Even if they do bring one, which I haven't seen proof of... it's because they made it for the Camry and we'll get it beacuse they happened to get the trickle-down. They're not going to do R&D to create two new transmissions for a budget car. Sorry, it isn't gonna happen.

There are two sites that says that the 06 is a 4 speed auto.

Edmunds also lists the 06 tC as a 4 speed auto

Jumbo, a member/dealer has already confirmed that it is in fact still a 4 speed, even after initial specualation that it will be a 5 speed.



I think the tC would be hot in a phantom grey color for the RS. Something that is darker than the current silver, but lighter than the FM.

Gunmetal, 5 spoke wheels will be a nice touch as well.

i still think that scion should offer some lighter colors standard. speedway blue would look nice on the tc. but i wonder what they will use for the new rs and other rs series from here on for all models. maybe they will stop after a while because they've run out of bright colors. other than the speedway blue, there isn't any other toyota color that really stands out and hasn't been used yet. using the same few colors wouldn't be cool.
