Scion tC due out in June...anyone buying one? Options

[abatardi]

I just got a brochure for the Scion tC yesterday. Due out in June... considering the 2004's showed up pretty much on June 1st I'm thinking we've only got about a month to go before it's released. I'm trying to get my girlfriend to buy one. She's been pre-approved for about $18k and wanted to get a damn Jetta.

What are people's opinions of these so far? I think it sounded like a pretty good deal. For $16,500 it comes with a *lot* of standard options:

a/c, power windows, locks, mirrors, panorama moonroof, 17" alloys, pioneer am/fm/cd/mp3 player, airbags, ABS, 4 wheel disc brakes...and, most importantly, a 2.4L vvt-i engine w/ 9.6:1 compression ratio that is screaming "boost ME!" with available TRD supercharger already.

I think it looks alright too, probably looks better in person and the interior is designed well too. She wanted a 4-door but I think for the price and options this is a no-brainer.

Anyone else considering picking one of these up? Or are you gonna wait to see what the 8th gen celica or 5th gen supra bring (if they do come)?

i think its great, my dad works at the dealership and at the one were he works all the major toyota cars for the east coast are brought. Three days ago toyota sent in one black tc and it came with parts and toyota own engineer. My dad said it had CF hood, trunk, trd spoiler, and full bodykit. Recaro seats gutted back full chrome roll cage and the engineer brought a chrome dipped trd supercharger and installed it. My dad said it had black poweder coated trd 19's and brembo big brake kit. he said it was amazing and after he saw it he said he'd get one for me when it comes out so i can't wait to see it.
