Nice teaser!

 

I'd like to see a tC with a supercharged 1.8L.

 

that way a nice boost in power is as simple as a different SC pulley ad some simple mods and a boosted motor can be made more fun. I think the option of forced induction from Toyota would be great for a brand like Scion that is loved by tuners and the younger customers

 

The headlights are very similar to the euro Accord/TSX. The rear... an acquired taste. It's very domestic looking (think Chrysler 300/Dodge Magnum). So a step forward and back- we're back where we started, LOL.

2.5L seems very likely since it's the current power plant in the Camry. 6MT also is logical since the Camry's manual option is a 6-speed. It will be interesting to see if it will also get the 6AT, or if it will get a 5AT.

It's doubtful to see another supercharger, IMO. With number crunching being a very likely scenario @ Toyota right now, previous model S/C sales will seal this one's fate. The price point of the complete kit prices it out of most buyer's hands. However, seeing a factory Supercharged 1.8L (Corolla/xD Dual VVT-i) would be awesome~ but I'm sure they ruled it out quickly as a simple pulley upgrade would cause some catastrophic issues.

 

That's what I was thinking. It's really not cool to go to a tuner meet and have someone chide you for having the same engine as a Camry.

 

I don't think that interior could possibly be more heinous.

 

They should have told the tC team to carry the parts for the Ft-86 team so that comes quicker.

Is car design mad? Do we have to buy Aston Martins to get good looking cars?

 

The interior is the LEAST of it's problems

 

Meh, the Kia Forte coupe is looking good right now.

 

Agreed.

"Damn shame what they did to that dog"

 

Bland, bland, bland. Looks like its from 2004, not 2010.

 

Short of the Camry refresh...what is going on with design at Toyota? This is not a joke.

 

You mean lack of it At least they are holding the ugly down compared to some others.

 

man the interior is brutal, talking 1996 ford like

 

They have none. And its spilling into some of the current Lexus designs.
Oh but they know how to make a minivan look sporty with tons of "swagger"

Honda has ugly designs, and Toyota seems to recycle theirs.
