TORRANCE, Calif., May 19, 2006 -- Scion, of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., announced pricing today for the 2007 tC and new tC Spec Package.
"We brought this model to the market specifically for the tuner who wants to start modifications with a clean palette," said Mark Templin, Scion vice president. "Personalization has always been one of Scion's original core values and the tC Spec Package will help give our customers a solid foundation to transform their tC into something exceptionally unique."
The tC Spec Package model will come as a blank canvas for the tuner community to express its creativity. This tC rides on steel wheels with unique wheel covers and 205/55R16 tires and features special front-end treatments. It comes in four exterior colors, Super White, Flint Mica, Black Sand Pearl and Classic Silver Metallic. Inside, the tC receives a fixed glass panorama roof, unique upholstery, and urethane steering wheel.
Aside from the new Spec Package, the tC carries over for 2007 with updated seat fabric, a sun visor with a sliding extension and a tire pressure monitoring system.
The tC Spec Package will have a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $15,000 for models with manual transmissions and $15,800 for models with automatic transmissions. The base MSRP for the Standard tC with a manual transmission is $16,400, and $17,200 for an automatic transmission, an increase of $100 for each. The tC and tC Spec Package will hit dealer showrooms beginning in June.

I would love to see the tC with the new 268hp 3.5 V6 from the Camry.

So you buy the Spec package for 2 reasons;

1- you are actually going to modify the car, and it won't look like ass for long.

2- you think its cheaper to go this way and have the car look like ass because it was cheaper for you.

I think this car looks great done up, but without the factory wheels and the panoramic moonroof, this car looks like total shit. If I had one, I'd get the standard edition, then get a Kaminari body kit for it, and turbo it. Subtle appearance changes and still a screamer, with Toyota reliability.

while the tc is definitely the favorite looker of all the current scion models, its look are still way bland compared to the relative style of the xa and the xb. and when you put the tc next to an RSX or the civic coupe, you'd hardly notice the it. luckily they left it bland for all the kids who want to add body kits and downforcers on top of lips on top of more downforcers. at least its a better savings than the subaru impreza wrx TR

Yeah the Tc is one of those cars that I like one day and hate the next. And the XB and XA are disgusting but have a lot of cubic space which people love.
