everything behind the b-pillar is ugly. if they couldn't come up w/ something better, they should've left it alone. i like the interior though, especially the steering wheel.

WTF?

I agree. The Scion used to be a good looking car. Not too shabby to drive either for what it was. Now it's uh... well uh. I guess they just wanted to make it look all boxy like the rest of the Scion lineup and it just doesn't work.

All I see is a giant C-Pillar.

This looks ridiculous.

Wonder if they will transition the TRD Supercharger to this model.

Looks like they tried to make it look more aggressive which ended making it look like a wannabe Accord.

Looks like a limo...

I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but I am starting to see why you've been accused of being a Toyota fanboy in other threads. I mostly agreed with you in the LFA threads, but dude, this is getting a little nuts. LOL.



First of all, of course my Civic's weight is a contributing factor. But that's ALL it has going for it. It has worn out everything (suspension wise), dampers that need to be replaced, shitty low end tires, etc. In spite of all of that, it maneuvers better than the TC. The TC has higher limits but it feels much more like steering a minivan.

I have driven plenty of cars heavier than the TC that don't feel as numb.

Also, I think that you are certainly right that the TC is sportier than a Corolla, but that's like saying that Rosie O'donnell is hotter than Michael Moore. Or like saying that getting AIDS is totally fun, you know, compared to leprosy. They both are on the wrong end of the spectrum.

A Honda Odyssey is sportier than a conversion van, but neither is sporty in any sense of the word.

Someone else mentioned the EP3 Si. I think that is a perfect comparison. They are both heavy, not very aggressive in the suspension department, and fairly underpowered. However, the EP3 is way more fun to drive.

I love my TC. Mrs. E.G. drives it and it is a good car. It is comfortable, incredibly cheap to own, it looks much higher end than it is, has a decent stereo, gets pretty good gas mileage, and isn't balls slow, but it is certainly not sporty by any stretch of the imagination.

My only real gripe with the car is that I feel like I can't see shit out of it. I am always running over curbs and stuff and I have never once done that in any other car. That's probably not entirely the car's fault.

Also, mine is an automatic (again, Mrs. E.G. drives it) but my buddy has a manual transmission TC and there is a huge throttle delay between shifts. That's kind of annoying.
