The youth-oriented 2009 Scion tC is getting a bit long in the tooth with nearly the same design that it had for its intro nearly five years ago, but it's still one of Toyota's more daring designs. Except for a new face, grille, and projector headlamps for model year 2008, the...

Other Choices:

The Ford Focus came out with a new coupe body style for 2008; with a more distinctive, quieter interior than before and more available convenience features, such as the SYNC communications and entertainment interface, the Focus offers a very compelling package for the money, even if it isn't as much fun to drive as the 2009 Scion tC. The Honda Civic coupe feels sportier than the Focus and the tC, but its engine isn't as torquey for ordinary driving, and its interior feels a bit more cramped. Like the tC, it's also quite loud inside on coarse surfaces. The Pontiac G5 and Hyundai Tiburon might also be worth consideration, but both of them feel rather outdated for different reasons. The interior of the G5 feels subpar in appearance and quality, while the Tiburon sacrifices a lot of interior space for a curvaceous exterior shape that is no longer in vogue.
