After 6 years on the market, the Scion tC finally gets its long-overdue makeover. While the original tC was a huge hit, Scion anticipates a very positive response to the release of the new 2011 model this fall.
Scion geared the new tC to appear more dominant and edgy. Larger wheels (18"x7.5" vs. 17"x7") widen its stance to support the larger 2.5L engine with 180 horsepower. The tC now comes standard with a 6-speed transmission for better fuel economy and engine efficiency, too!
Compare the new model to its predecessors and, without a doubt, it will be impressive. Here's just a snapshot at the improvements that were made to the Scion tC this year...
