In 2004, Scion introduced the tC to the American market as a more attractive, sportier alternative to the xA and xB.
The tC's chassis was—and still is—borrowed from the Toyota Avensis, a four-door sedan that isn't available for sale in North America; the four-cylinder engine is the same as you'll find in the Toyota Camry. The ability to customize with factory or aftermarket accessories has made the tC a popular choice among the tuner crowd.
Currently in its second generation after a 2010 revision, the tC now boasts an output of 180 horsepower and 173 pound feet of torque, and comes with more standard features like 18-inch wheels, stability control and electrically-assisted power steering.
