Went in for a tC, drove out with an xB...
I've had my xB for a couple weeks now and love it. Also, this is my first post here too... so I am a newbie. :D I was just wondering how many people on here originally wanted to get a tC, but walked out of the dealer with an xB? I liked the tC alot... but I don't feel like laying on the floor anymore when I drive! 
The xB seemed more practical anyway... plus the price was right!

Congrats!- Yeah, I didnt like the whole laying on the floor thing to drive a tC either. I got tied of seing a bunch of "Im 6'+ and I fit in a tC" threads- well I must be a different 6"-3" than every one eles!! Well I did "fit" in a tC, Just not very well!!

tc trouble
I tottally agree, the Tc brings nothing new to our american market, its basicly a Tiburon with a lower price tag.
I love my little cab van because its something that the japanese have had for years and now we finally get to horn in on its sweet goodness
To Many Coupes in this world I always say

There is no way to confuse an XB with any of those.

tC's will be lost in the crowd and their styling will AGE quickly. The xB is a timeless box and will wear well on the street for many, many years.
Believe it or not, IMO, the tC is more of a kid's car than the xB. The xB has real functionality whereas the tC doesn't.
I looked at a tC closely before I bought my xB and didn't care enough to drive one.

See I was saying the same thing in the tC "Insults?" thread about how there are so many coupes and the tc looks like every other car but the xA and xB doesnt and of course I got flammed because all those die hard tC fans only want to hear good things about their car.

im not mad. isnt scion suppose to be different from other cars? the xa and xb are different but not the tc. it blends in with the crowd. also im not looking for a fast car. if i wanted a fast car i would be looking at FWD either, i'd be looking at RWD or AWD.
its just my opinion.
