Any other ideas on the Scion TC that should be added to the main page can be noted here, also and customizations that should be addressed can be listed here.


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)

See the second definition on overdrive. —Kenyon (t·c) 23:45, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
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)

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."

[edit] tc image

does anyone have a professional looking pic of the tC - perhaps a press photo - that would be allowable? Uvapip 18:11, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


---yeah I would agree with this. A picture of a car with bird poop on it is not that fantastic. Or is it? [[User:12.34.246.5|12.34.246.5]] 15:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

i really want one!

[edit] Supercharged?

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)

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)

[edit] Toyota Avensis?

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)

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)

[edit] Class?

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)

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)
It does? What car is the tC a performance-enhanced version of? Friday (talk) 19:59, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
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)

[edit] tC also means Toyota Celica?

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)

[edit] Image

Not sure how to, but someone might need to fix the dimensions of the image to the right of the main page. It's too tall. Zchris87v 05:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] References

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". Gyrferret (talk) 04:38, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
