tC: toyotaCelica
At least that's what some have thought.
I would like to see a new coupe.
Weren't they supposed to be introducing a new AWD turbo 4 door? I speculated it would be the the next generation Matrix XRS turboed and moved into the Scion brand.
Is this the new convertable AWD turbo car? (MR-S + Celica)
I think Toyota needs some new turbo in the blood lines.

That'll be great!

From what I have heard, this car is definitely going to sit above the TC. It is a new coupe and possibly some variation of a convertible top will be available aswell . Power is supposed to be around 240 HP.

I don't know where t in tC comes from, but I know they couldn't use xC (to complete xA & xB) because "XC" is trademarked by Volvo
I read that on Edmunds.com as well. I can't find the article though, I'll try and find it.

Here is the article guys I found it. The link is at the bottom, here is the copy and paste 
WHISPERS: Toyota Planning New 250-hp Scion tC
Date posted: 08-11-2005
TOKYO — The grapevine in Japan is whispering about a hot, new 250-horsepower pure sport coupe from Toyota, coming next year, which would also double as a new Celica in Japan.
Japan's moles say they've uncovered secret plans for a new pure sport coupe from Toyota, apparently based around the Scion tC. The unnamed model, due in 2006, has 2.4-liter power, like the tC, yet is good for a reputed 250 horsepower.
Toyota is aiming at Honda's stellar Integra Type R (the more exotic, faster version of America's Acura RSX). And the idea would also be to inject some extra speed and enthusiast muscle into the tC.
America will soon bid farewell to the Celica, so this new 250-hp sport coupe would be a welcome replacement. Across in Japan, the talk is Toyota would rebadge it as the eighth-generation Celica.
While the Celica as we know it is 1.8-liter, the story goes that this new model would jump up to a special high-performance 2.0-liter motor, which may be called 2AZ-GE.
What this means to you: Biggest problem with Scion? No power. Thus, this super tC sounds super-cool; let's hope it makes it into the showrooms here.

I doubt the GE will be released though... with the eco-friendly theme going on right now, it'd be hard to see it happen. If it does... it's only because the hybrids raised the average fuel economy of the brand so they can do it w/o any guilt =P
If this vehicle does exist, I hope it's a AWD coupe!! (We've yet to see what Toyota's learn from Subbie). Now that'd be a nice Scion flagship! xD <- happy face, not new scion name
