Introduction
The Scion tC is a compact 2-door coupe that was originally introduced in 2005. According to the automaker, “tC” stands for “Touring Coupe.” Designed to be fun to drive, yet frugal with fuel, the tC featured sporty MacPherson strut suspension up front, and double-wishbone suspension in the rear. All models of the first-generation tC shared the same 2.4-liter 4-cylinder powerplant sending power to the front wheels through a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The first-generation tC was Scion's best-selling model, according to the automaker.

New for 2011 is the second-generation Scion tC. Completely redesigned, the new model features a more aggressive appearance, increased performance, and a more premium feel, says the automaker. It is expected in showrooms late in 2010.
