Thread 28497073

I'm so jealous of you americans since you got the Scion TC while we Europeans didn't. I mean the car is based on the Toyota Avensis which is a car not even sold in US but sold in Europe.

Why couldn't we get this car? Just call it Toyota TC or Toyota Zelas as middle easteners called it.

Nobody cares about that soccermom‘s delight.
Now eurofags got the real deal…

It's a glorified Corolla why do you care bro?

>>28497076
Because here in Europe in there's zero exciting mid 2000s Japanese cars other than the Civic Type R. The Scion TC could have been the follow up to the last Toyota Celica.

>>28497074
the corolla GR americans have blows up just as hard as that thing. you aren't missing out.

>The Scion TC could have been the follow up to the last Toyota Celica.
That's actually what it was designed to be. It was a car ppl got their 16 year olds with FWD and low power for cheap insurance, many in my hs got new ones. I had a base RSX with a header and it was better than tCs in every way.

>>28497097
Yeah but the last gen Honda Integra (Acura RSX) had been discontinued by the time the Scion TC was released. Celica was gone, Integra was gone, Prelude was gone, MX6 was gone and 180/200/240SX and Silvia were gone as well.

The only cars still left in that market segment when Scion TC was released were the Hyundai Tiburon/Coupe and the Mitsubishi Eclipse.

>Avensis
>was actually sold in Japan
>sedan, liftback and wagon
>offered with a diesel that made more power than the TC that Americans got (and a lot more torque)
>manual available of course
>even the autotragic in the Avensis was improved (got a 5 speed auto while the TC kept it's 4 speed)
I'm more jealous of the Avensis, at least you can larp as a JDMfag with one. Scion TCs have unfortunately only been owned by the "big Altima energy" types for the past decade or so, so they don't exactly have a good reputation. If you see one that still has the bezel around the license plate (that's not being held on with tape) I'd be shocked.

>pre facelift model
there’s a reason that thing got replaced in no time. it’s fixed now and it’s glorious

>>28497074
>60K euros for a new one
Fucking "temporary car tax" from the 1950s. And also fucking used car dealers who lobbied to keep it when they thought of removing it in the 2010s, because it would lower used car value.

>>28497107
tC came out in '05 MY. Integra / RSX was out until '06 MY. I had an '05 RSX and lots of ppl I knew had tCs or Minis.

>>28497110
>it’s fixed now
proofs?

>>28497129
Yeah I was mistaken. I remembered that TC came out in 06 for some reason which was the Integra's last year. But yeah the Integra was discontinued soon after the TC came out.

>>28497133
Fair enough. It's probably a fine car, better than most new cars. It's fairly responsive but a little boring. I'd drive one in a pinch over some CUV for sure.

>>28497130
>corolla
don’t care about that thing.
our GR Yaris Gen 2 just werks

>>28497159
it has the same engine, so unless you're willing to post yours with 100k miles on it, i don't believe that.

>>28497089
Funny how you cropped the date out of that screencap lol.

>>28497178
have this one instead>>28497130 lol

>>28497073 (OP)
Something americans get that europeans don't. an Audi, but way more reliable.

>>28497076
Erm actually its a glorified Camry. The first gen got the 2AZ and the 2nd gen got the 2AR.
>>28497073 (OP)
I had both a first and second gen. They're great cars but a bit too heavy to be taken serious. The 2nd gen in particular really benefits from a CAI and a 93 octane tune. I managed 0-60 in 6.2 seconds with good tires on mine. Avoid the automatics, the manual is so much better. I'd like to drive one again, I kind of miss it. I moved a 60" TV in the back of mine and I've seen photos of people fitting the TC's own doors in back.

>4200 lb AWD accord
Nah

>>28497166
Probably from the fact not a single one burned down in Europe after 5 years.

>>28497332
shares nothing with the accord, whereas the audi is just a passat/jetta.

>>28497339
they just blow up instead.

>Built in the same factory

>doors and lights line up with 11th generation
This is your brain on Honda.

>>28497073 (OP)
>>28497074
These things are both ugly slow gay as fuck pikachu monster truck bullshits

>>28498729
What accord comes with a twin turbo V6 and a Duel Clutch transmission again? these cars were also built in the same factory as the NSX.

are they the same car, too? this is your brain on having a double digit IQ.

>>28498767
"Double digit IQ" is spending any amount of time defending a 4200lb, transverse-engined V6 sedan. It's a useless failure of a car that weighs as much as a RWD, V8 sedan with not a single of the benefits of one.

>>28498776
Double digit IQ is defending junk products like VAG and the GR Yaris. enjoy your pos when the warranty if up, pajeet.

>>28498785
>VAG and the GR Yaris
I've never owned a Volkswagen or Toyota in my life and never plan on owning either, dumb fuck.

>>28498791
>Daimler garbage
lol.

>>28497073 (OP)
Oh no the rest of the world didn't get a marketing rebrand of a toyota corolla....
