So the Scion tC looks pretty damn sexy. Take a coupe that looks like the new Accord (but sexier), put it on Toyota's European small-sedan platform, and throw in the 160hp Camry 4-cylinder. Then add a sunroof, 17" rims, power everything, and a complete Pioneer system (that supports MP3 playback, RMS 115 watts) and price it for $17k. Bolt on a TRD supercharger (takes peak hp to 200) and you're talking $20k, plus a couple thousand more for suspension/shifting mods. So for $22-23k, you've got a friggin' nice sportscar that's entirely under warranty. My only complaint? No navigation system. But I'm good spatially so I'd live.
Pretty damn cool idea, I say. Alex and I talked about it at length as to what cars it could outrun. We decided that it could most likely outdo a 325, a 330 would be close (20-30 extra hp but some 300-400 extra pounds) and he and I are at odds as to how it would take a Sentra SE-R.
Even still, if my automotive future weren't already decided, I'd probably spring for one of these.
And Mom, if you happen to read this like many parents do onto their children, this does NOT mean I'll take it over the 325. We already had that convo.
But still. Cool car.
