tC
Scion's sports coupe, the tC, debuts for 2005 with sleek styling and a well-finished interior that delivers good comfort in the front and back. Currently the most powerful Scion offered, the tC packs under its hood the all-aluminum 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) that's otherwise found in the Toyota Camry. Here it generates 160 horsepower and can be mated to either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. For added muscle, a, supercharger can be dealer-installed that boosts the car's output to nearly 200 horsepower. A four-wheel fully independent suspension with a double-wishbone rear setup and 17-inch alloy wheels and Z-rated performance tires promise crisp handling. Four-wheel-disc anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and a driver's knee airbag that helps the driver stay in an upright driving position during a crash come standard, as does air conditioning, power accessories, keyless entry, and a 160-watt CD/MP3 stereo. While front-side and side curtain airbags are the tC's only available factory options, as with the other models in Scion's line, buyers can accessorize the coupe from an eclectic list of dealer-installed items.
