IMO the base model can look bland in the wrong color and stock wheels. As far as motor it uses the 160 hp 2AZ-FE from the Camry which has enough a** to beat an IS from a roll so the extra 40 hp from the supercharger can put it into the SRT-4 range. Right now the SC isn't on the options list, so maybe for '06.
BTW since this is a Scion question, isn't the xA a rebadged Vitz?

what's so funny?

Anyway... the xA isn't the vitz. It's actually sold as the Toyota Ist elsewhere. As for the tC... looks cool, with a supercharger or turbo, would be great... but as far as I'm concerned, Toyota got bloody lazy by simply throwing in an exsisting econobox motor... like they always do. I really wish is could have been an oversized ZZGE, or even a AZGE with VVTLi or something.
