Personally, I hope the tC slows down. It was nice having a car that not everyone recognized. Even the cops would ask what brand it was! Now, tC’s are as common as civics, and the owners are less friendly than they were in 05 and 06. You used to be able to wave at another Scion owner and get a peace sign or thumbs up. Now you’d be lucky if they even acknowledge that you have a nice ride!

Time for a change Scion. Hopefully, the concept vehicle they showed at Scion United makes it to production!
