Yup. Scion is North American only as far as I know. The tC is the first car in their lineup that isnt just a toyota rebadge

I didn't know the car since it's not sold in Europe, but it's not a bad looking car!!
And it's a sports coupé, so congrats on you purchase. An 2.4 160hp engine does sound a bit weird though if they've got a 1.8 192hp in the Celica TS.

Apparently, you either know nothin or you are jealous.
I have driven that car, and although it isnt my favorite FWD car ever, it is a nice car to drive. Plus it has the quality feel directly from its parent company, Toyota. For the price and standard features that come on that car, there arent many new cars in the same catagory to compare.
Anyway
I think you made a good choice. The fact that you bought solid, reliable, sporty, upgradeable, warrentied, and affordable car (with a proper manual of course), shows that you have a great imagination and that you appreciate a good car when you see it.

I never got the chance to congratulate you on your ride. I think you made an awesome choice, especially in the white color you got it in. I love how it contrasts with the panoramic sunroof. One of my roommates has one, and he loves it. I got to drive it around and it was pretty damn fun.
I wish you many more safe and fun miles in her Midengine.

Thank you very much My only regret is just the fact that they are sooooooo popular around here. Ive never liked cars you see on every block, but here I am owning one lol. Theres like 4 others just in the employee lot at work. Still though, I love my car =)

That was one of the biggest reasons why I chose white. Looks great with the black glass roof

^^^ Yeah, it's true that they are everywhere, but that's just because they're one of the best new cars you can get for that kind of money. If the price range for when I got my car was ~20k, I would have gotten the tC as well, almost no doubt at all.
Btw, love the second shot, looks like you took it in Monterey :good:
