2007 Scion TC
November 19th, 2006
The 2007 tC is Scion’s two-door sport coupe and the third model for Scion, the all-new brand from Toyota that is geared toward the youth market. Scion offers its vehicles with generous standard equipment for a value-oriented price that is easily customizable to fit the buyers needs.
“The tC is the first vehicle developed exclusively and strategically for the Scion brand,” said Jim Farley, Scion vice president. The tC also offers the most traditional styling of the three Scion models. After receiving a number of audio and accessory upgrades for 2006, the 2007 Scion tC remains primarily unchanged but adds a tC Spec package targeted for tuners.

Mazda and Scion Predictions
August 17th, 2006
The Autoweek crew have been doing their homework and dusting off their crystal ball to provide details on the future rides to come out of Scion and Mazda.
The plans for Scion include a heavily redesigned version of the xA that dumps the current doorstop physique for a shape yet to be released. The xB will remain a toaster, as the box form is something that, according to Autoweek’s contacts, will endure throughout the models lifespan. Expect to see revisions to the tC towards the end of the decade with styling cues coming from the New York Auto Show’s Fuse concept. One additional model will be added, most likely carrying the name xD (they’ve already applied for the trademark), which will be something of a Matrix replacement, not a stretched version of the xB as had been previously thought.
