Can you not get leather seats in a tC?.. I mean really, carbon fiber dash appliques..illuminated door sills..other useless ****...and no leather seats? I was just pricing one out, and at 23.5k, I get everything I want...without leather seats. And whats the no haggle/no hassle BS. its only no hassle for the salesman lol. trust me, saving 2-2.5k isnt a hassle..
 Oh well, I guess I'll just have to start searching for something a little more consumer-feedback driven.PS mad props to scion for offering a limited slip diff, and .. even at $1,500. This post has been edited by laff09: Dec 26, 2007 - 5:03 PM |

leather can be added by just about any dealer, usually runs around 1200.

I was just thrown off by their state-of-the-art in car 360* view of options and noticed the seats were cloth. |

23.5K is a rip off considering you can get a wrx for around the same price....or a 350z for about 3-4k more

Not a fan of the 350z's. 23.5 included TRD coilovers and TRD helical gear LSD. This post has been edited by laff09: Dec 26, 2007 - 6:11 PM |

For 23K I hope you're getting the TRD Supercharger. And yes... they are nice cars. I test drove a buddies S/C'ed TC and thought it was quite sluggish... but I also hear the TRD tune for that kit sucks ass. Piggyback it and dyno tune for MAX potential.

you can get a leather option with is just and aftermarket slip cover that fits like a glove. but you can't get it if you have side impact air bags.. I know this first hand.

I test drove a friend's tC a few weeks back and have decided that if ever I get an actual NEW car that I'd have to finance and what-not, it's gonna be the tC. I absolutely love that car!

yea... im with everyone who loves tc's but hates that they cant get outta their own way for being a "sporty car" compared to whats out there i dont think they competative cars as far as size, refinement, and an overall fun to drive car. but they do look great and i imagine being left NA they great reliable cars. persoanlly i would nto get a new tc due to the fact that i feel they are overpriced for what they are, id go for one off a 1 or 2 year lease and let the previous owner of paid the depreciation
-------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!
