No Petey, it is coming. Only available in White, Black sand, Flint, and Silver. Not yet sure of the mix of production or the prices. They say that the goal is about $1000 - $1500 less than current.
I perosnally don't see enough value to justify buying it over a stock unit. I mean, you can sell the stock wheels for about $500 for the set that alone covers alot of the cost difference. I like Cruise and Audio Controls. Also, the interior looses some creature comforts like fabric on the center armrest and 12V outlets.
If your goal is to ahve a lighter vehicle, less standard equipment so people can getthere own wheels, etc. I guess it would work. I guess it will compete better price wise with a base civic or cobalt though.

Scion is epxecting tuners to dump another 15-20k into the car. This is not for someone who wants a tC and then add a few things to it. Think "Pimp My Ride" and "Overhaulin". Completely new motors/interior/wheels/ICE/Etc.

What I want to know is:
1. Is the bump in redline for all 07, or just the TE?
2. How did they bump it? Just a flash of the ECU, or is there something different mechanically?
Personally I'd rather have a higher redline and have both the torque & max hp at higher rpm. I love the sound of a high revving engine. It would be nice if I could do that to my '06 with just a reflash. Even better would be if I had a button to make it one way or the other.
