I know it could. They were asking the salesmen why would I pay $30K for this when I could get an STI or EVO? I dont think he had a good answer. Most salespeople know the features of cars they are selling but thats about it.

i know right man i want to work at a dealership in sales ive got sales experience i just turned 18 i wounder if anyone would hire me i could sell some damn cars man.

Try Gossett volkswagen. They will hire anyone. Probably the worst experience I have ever had with a dealer. The salespeople actually called me on my autotrader ad for my car and convinced me that they could give me what I wanted, then offer me $4k less than I was asking.

HMMMM!!!!

Kyle he got you LOL +1

Pics?

[HalfBaked]

Pics?

I don't have any. If I see it again I'll take some, this car is super hot.

Me and rupertaker did a u-turn to look at it one day.

[EP3sAreFun]

haha.

Well the concept of a youth division is just horrible IMO. I hate the designs of all of their cars. The xb is aerodynamically retarded. Its a brick. The tc just looks weird to me. Its something about the side of the car.

Also I have yet to see a clean scion. All the xb's that I have seen modified are RICE. The tc's are generally rice and the people that drive them are lame IMO. All the scion owners I know are tools. Thats only like 3 people, so its a unfair generalization I suppose. And all the modified tc's I have seen drive like ricers.

You are not the general market. Scions sell very well, and the dealer only does a handful of Scion parts. the Xb is based off a concept called a micro-van. Which has been sold overseas for many years and has had the same success as coupes and sedans. You don't know many Scion people, so your right, bad generalization. some of them are not losers although admittedly some are.

The Scions are not performance cars, but, heh, neither is yours.

this is what the next TC is supposed to look like, supposedly

I know.

[Sport1.3]

I know.

MINE IS!!!! .....or was...........in the 80's............

[Kamikaze]

That's not the "new" tC. That's just the Release Series 3.0 version. The main difference is the Kenstyle lip kit. I believe the tC won't be redesigned until the 2009 model year.

Here's a few shots from a show our club (Scinergy of Georgia) participated in...





There are way more people in the club but I took pics too early and when I went to take more, my battery was dead.

[Alan®]

[Alan®]

im entering just for kicks my car goes under the knive next week for the rest of its body work

[CRISPYXB]

the ABKS show is gonna be hot. Wish I could make it!

[MongolPup]

Damn it I missed out on this......

Certain posts deleted, find something better to do then flame "No, Scion is awesome you are a fag!" and "Scion, thats what bitches drive!"

As for the tech stuff back and forth, keep it coming, love constructive shit.

For the record, the tC guys seem to talk alot of smack to the DC5 crews and others.....you guys realize that even modified a stock Type-S still has a really good shot against you?

[MongolPup]

Lol someone lied to you. Either that or some dealer was trying to take advantage of a naive buyer.

I was that friend. Atlanta Toyota. It was the oil change before my last oil change two weeks ago, I can dig the date up if you want.

It was modified by a Toyota dealership in Florida and had all the TRD options/dealer parts including the shortshifter with knob, S/C and exhaust. It also had a AEM intake and Oil Cap.

It was over 30k and had one previous owner.

The salesman (who for the record approached us) got really pissed at us when we went into the DC5/tC thing (He said "Honda should give you a midget so that when you go over railroad tracks it can push you") and noted that he was scared driving in RSX's because it had no power before i-vtec, and alluded to a belief that the tC was faster. When my other friend mentioned the cost of buying a used WRX or the like for under that price and it would be faster and such, he shut the hood (that he opened) in our faces and walked off. He had walked up and talked to us on his own accord; there was no intent to try and pick a fight with a salesman...even though I am Toyota loyal to the bone I was confused by how he was acting and his logic.

I've heard of that car. But I didn't know it had made it to the ATL. It's probably because they couldn't find anyone to buy it at 12k over the top-of-the-line stock price.

[MongolPup]

I edited that post and fleshed out the story, sorry I didn't finish it in time for a complete quote.

[Kamikaze]

They started it. Someone found a thread (on whatever the name of the RSX site is) where they were bashing the tC, and then posted it on ScionLife. Then it went from there.

Interesting story. I'd never go to ATL Toyota anyway. They care too much about making a sale rather than the customer. I only go to Team, Marietta, Hank Aaron, or Mall of GA.

[Z33_kid]

OMGz0rs PLEASE TELL ME YOU CAN GET NON-USA TRD SHIT FOR ME I'M TIRED OF ORDERING IT FROM JAPAN/CALIFORNIA OR VIA HONG KONG!

I really don't like Atlanta Toyota, most of the people are asses or don't know what they're talking about.....however it is so close to my house (compared to other dealerships) that I can't justify going somewhere else; back in the day I would go there because Dan was still around. The service manager has proven himself to me, I always walk right to him when I pull in the service lanes.

[Alan®]

[TeamFX_K24a4]

Hey Six2Six.... you do know that in the Scinergy bylaws you can't be in any other "all scion" car club while in Scinergy (i.e. you can't be in Scion Street Performance and ScinergyGa)

[RJtheBlacktC]

And here's me against a celica at Import Showdown.... Celica got 15.5 and I got a 15.9..... My best time was against my boyfriends Honda, he got a 15.72 and I got a 15.8!

[Nismo]

^ that car is soo gangster!

[Rabid Lemmin]

It's always tough to post pics after RJ cause her car is so freakin badass, but being as there seems to be a dearth of photos here, I'll put some up of my baby. Plus I love my new one-of Carbon-Kevlar hood

[Sport1.3]

I'm loving that hood and the turbo setup. That's your DD? If so, how many pounds are you pushing?

[Rabid Lemmin]

Thanks Yeah it is my daily driver. I'm only pushing 8.5 psi for now.

[Firefightin_tC]

Oh man, but still. The car is fun to drive STOCK, I can only imagine how much fun the car is once there's a turbo ah' spoolin'!

Is it a custom job or is it produced by someone (i.e. Treadstone...etc.)
