i think the latest si looks like a mini-minivan

Yes they are, that guy must be high or something. Subaru calls them H4, or H6 for the 6 cyl. They are flat and horizontally oposed for perfect balance.

I like the tC and also the xB. Toyota engines are awesome when it comes to reliability. I would buy it. I like the fact that this Scion line are made for the low end consumers, but they have a lot of features that other companies don't have on their low end cars. Like sunroof, cruise control, power windows, ++++. If Toyota is willing to sell as an option a supercharger and give you warranty with it, would tell us the engine can handle it. I saw one of these tC's at the dealer, and there is plenty of room for a nice turbo setup.

That car doesn't look that bad. The front end looks real nice, but the back of the back window (that little chop off the back) is kinda bothering me. If honda was played out and someone was looking for something not so trendy to fix up, it'd be a good car. :-\



Boost, perfect execution of the [RS Mode on/} lol

1/4 mile [secs at mph] 15.7 at 88.0
Top Speed [mph] 127
Lateral acceleration [g] 0.81
Fuel Economy [City/Hwy in mpg] 22 / 30

This is all I could find, but I'm not sure how accurate it is?
0-60 mph 7.6sec.
1/4 Mile 15.9@87.8mph
Top Speed 132mph

I'd take a civic si hands down. So the stock motor is shitty. What stock motor in a civic isn't shitty that comes here to the US? It's a honda! Swap it! Just get a K20A and then how does that Scion tC look then with that supercharge option at 3000 plus the sticker price? The Si may be a lil' porker but what new car isn't these days! Hell look at how small the Mini Cooper is and how much that still weighs.

^^^^I'd take the Scion over that car. :-\ That is the ugliest body style Honda has ever made. :-\ I'd be embarassed to drive that thing.

BTW, a K series swap isn't exactly "cheap".
