The RS 4 MSRPs will be $19,770 and $20,570 for manual and auto, respectively. At least, if my math is right.

Over $20k for a tC without a supercharger or turbo? No thanks... I'll stick with my 05 tC for now and hope for a tC replacement at the NYIAS.]]>Feb 1st 2008 3:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/engine upgrades...?

If you don't want to see 100 a week, stop by my area some time. I maybe see 2 or 3 others a week. If it's a busy week. And I'm not even in the middle of nowhere - not a big city or anything though.

And there is a TRD supercharger available... but they never seem to include it as part of the RS package. Which is dumb. The most they've done for performance (that i can recall) is include a front strut bar on the RS1. Which of course does next to nothing (at least for the tC - I know on some cars it does quite a bit).]]>Feb 1st 2008 3:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/Feb 1st 2008 3:37PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/HEAVIER!

i do like the TC, just think for 2700. some power should have been added.
the turtle lump look is easily overcome with the right
mods.

I have a tC, factory style spoiler, I needed a commuter car so i wouldn't kill myself putting miles on my 94 Lightning. So I am using it for what it is, a reasonably priced ipod player that gets 26 mpg daily driving while not feeling like I am at the mercy of the SUVs of Northern Jersey. Don't get me wrong I like the car, and i like it a lot better than any Hyundai mostly for the stereo iPod hook-in, xm radio and decent looks with the factory ped. spoiler. Some day I will spring for the S/C for it just to have some fun, or I can wait for 12k more miles to end the warranty and drop a turbo in it.]]>Feb 1st 2008 5:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/
Considering that this RS is only 1 of those things you mentioned, I now consider you a troll.

Now if Scion releases a bigger, heavier, and less efficient tC replacement in March in NY, I will (only then) not consider your comment retarded (with regards to the tC).]]>Feb 1st 2008 5:10PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/
This is not a sports car nor a performance car by ANY stretch of the terms. None of these bits will change that. This car should be focusing on getting better MPGs. ]]>Feb 1st 2008 5:11PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/
boring gray paint on a boring barely discernable body kit, with a $2700 sticker price upgrade.

nearly $21k for this??? Think not. I paid $22k for a car with ~300 turbocharged hp, real AWD, a 5-speed manual transmission, leather heated seats, sunroof, climate control, with a spare set of wheels and tires for the winter. Ok, so it didn't happen to be new... but I still think I made the better choice.

And I guarantee there isn't a Scion or Hyundai Front-driver out there that can come anywhere near as fun as my car is, in terms of handling, acceleration, comfort, or maybe even styling.

2700 for a boring paint job and body kit... You have to be kidding me. 2700$ would have my Legacy GT handily beating stock WRX STIs in almost every category.

and Mazda3 with leather costs 23k.

For people into those things, getting body kit, alcantra interior, leather steering/shifter would cost you a lot more than 2.7k...]]>Feb 1st 2008 6:21PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/Feb 1st 2008 6:28PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/01/chicago-preview-scion-tc-series-4-0/Feb 2nd 2008 1:11AM
