yea there are a lot of tcs in college parking lots.. too bad they're mostly stock. No indivduality..
isnt scions motto "what moves you"?

they do seem to be hitting the target age range, however their bone stock, monster truck height models, slightly small wheel size for the chasis, doesnt seem to be helping with mods in the college crowd. which is where scion probably makes most of their money.

at least when you drive a tc around personalize it and make it interesting, kind of sucks to see so many on the street and all of them bone stock. such a waste..

About 85 to 90 percent of the tCs I see are completely stock.

90% of all cars on the road are stock. Not everyone likes a hooked up ride. I am not surprised that scions are no different. People dont care what scion's are marketed for. They want it to go from a-b.

I don't understand how anyone can be happy with a stock ride. Their minds must function differently to mine. I just don't get it.

I can agree with the article. I see more and more tC's every quarter where I got to college.

What could possibly be more important than customizing your tC?
