Talk:Scion tC

message: Updated the article to reflect that Manual Overdrive does not exist for the Scion tC this is not the first place I have seen it listed, so I believe it was copied from a list of spec's some place. I dont know if the Automatic has overdrive (which its normal for Auto, and very rare on Manual.12.20.127.229 22:29, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  It is 5th gear in overdrive, the transmission is not equipped "w/overdrive". The sales literature says that is is 5 gears w/overdrive. That connotation is hard to mistake. - 12.20.127.229 22:02, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

message: This sentence is confusing: "The name tC does not fit in with its stablemates the xA and xB because the name has already been taken by Volvo for its XC70 and XC90."  The name tC is taken by the XC70 and XC90?.  It could better read: "The name tC does not fit in with its stablemates the xA and xB because the name xC has already been taken by Volvo for its XC70 and XC90."

message: Where's the mention to the supercharged version with 200+ hp? Supposed to have been developed by Toyota Racing Development. --67.37.137.201 02:35, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: there's not actually a 'version' per se, the supercharger is merely another accessory that you can add to it, just like TRD exhaust, lowering springs, etc. I'm not saying that there shouldn't be a mention of it, but if there is then we may want to add an entire 'scion accessories' section.--69.128.116.190 14:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Where is the source that this is comparable to the Avensis?  It's more like a 2-door version of the Lexus IS300 Hackajar 06:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: tC and Avensis share the same chassis. They are different cars, but they are related.  I wouldn't say it's accurate to call the tC an Avensis coupe though.  IS300 was a 6-cylinder RWD semi-luxury car, tC is a 4-cylinder FWD budget (for lack of a better word) car.  No connection except they are both sporty compact cars by Toyota.  Here's a source for the tC Avensis connection.  ~ Dusk Knight 22:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This is not a sport compact by the definition given in that article.  Anyone think it should just say "compact"? Friday (talk) 16:25, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't read the full article, but the tC is listed as an example right at the top and it fits the definition given in the intro.~ Dusk Knight 00:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It does?  What car is the tC a performance-enhanced version of?  Friday (talk) 19:59, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My mistake, I was referring to the part where it says They are typically are front engined, front-wheel drive coupés, sedans, or hatchbacks driven by a naturally aspirated straight-4 gasoline engine.  I missed the first part that says high-performance version.  Sorry.  I went ahead and changed it to "Compact".~ Dusk Knight 02:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm changing it back to sport compact. There are numerous articles, such as ones by Popular Mechanics and others classifying it as a sport compact.User:tribestros  —Preceding undated comment added 00:42, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Class? 

message: I've talked to several people about the Scion tC and they think that the tC also means Toyota Celica. The main article mentions that the tC is the successor to the Celica so maybe the tC is meant to pay homage to that car? Maxtro 00:22, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Image

message: Does "seeing" a tC in a movie or in a television show, really count as it being "referenced". If so, then I'm sure the toyota Corolla and BMW pages would be overflowing with "references". I believe that we should leave in ACTUAL references to a tC and not just "sightings".

thread_title:  References 

message: I have a hard time believing that the Scion tC could accelerate from 0-60 in 3.14 seconds, or for that matter that the car is capable of getting from 0-100 mph in 6.6 seconds. These figures are clearly absurd, and I would ask that this false information be corrected immediately.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.209.150.168 (talk) 17:18, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not an Italian sports car! 

message: The second generation Toyota Avensis, which shares the same platform as the tC, is being phased out in favor of a new platform and design, which means that the tC may need to be retooled as well.
Toyota and Subaru have officially announced a new rear-wheel-drive sports coupe to be introduced to the Japanese, European and American markets starting in 2011 (in fact a new test mule Toyota/Subaru chassis has been seen running around a few tracks in Japan). The new platform has been billed as a spiritual successor to the AE86, and will be priced between $20,000 - $23,000 USD. The new "Toybaru" coupe has yet to be named, but because of the similarity in price range and overall appearance, some beleive that may be sold as the next generation Scion tC in North America.
This was originally found on the main article itself. I moved it hear because it seemed more like speculation and rumor rather than hard fact. Feel free to comment and discuss anything said above. Gyrferret (talk) 00:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The Next Generation?

message: I can't find it in the article so I thought I'd put the question out. Its based on the Avensis which is made in England, so I'd assume its built in the US on imported Chassis, is this the case?(82.3.43.98 (talk) 21:39, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I have removed the previously mentioned image because visually, it's no different from any other Scion tC.  There's no need for three pictures demonstrating the same car. 72.184.252.100 (talk) 19:56, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I've reverted the 'Carbuzz.com' link for the reference on comparing the Toyota Celica to the Scion tC. Carbuzz is not an authority on the matter of whether the car is related to the Celica or not. Neither Toyota nor Scion has had a statement on the matter. There seems to be some chatter about this a few years in the past with no update, so I think it's safe to say that there is no affiliation between the Celica and tC.
