A Scion with curves and 160hp
Overview Information
Scion's third model is an attractive, coupe-styled hatchback. While the first two Scion models offer value, unique styling, and customization for younger buyers, the tC is the first to offer some decent performance credentials. For around 16k, the tc offers 160hp, a five-speed manual, 17" alloy wheels, and some decent 215/45R17 tires. Also available for the tc, is the dealer-installed TRD-developed supercharger that takes the horsepower up to 200.
What Changed:
The tC adds the tC Spec Package. The Spec Package is intended to serve as a starting point for someone looking to customize their tC. The biggest difference is the downgraded 205/55R16 tires riding on steel wheels with covers.
