The NEW Scion tC - Take On "The Machine"
After 6 years on the market, the Scion tC finally got its long-overdue makeover in 2011. While the original tC was a huge hit, Scion recieved a very positive response to the release of the new model.
Scion geared the new tC to appear more dominant and edgy. Larger wheels (18"x7.5" vs. 17"x7") widen its stance to support the larger 2.5L engine with 180 horsepower. The tC now comes standard with a 6-speed transmission for better fuel economy and engine efficiency, too!
Compare the new model to its predecessor and, without a doubt, it is impressive. Here's just a snapshot at the improvements that were made to the 2nd generation Scion tC...
