2006 Scion tC Custom rear

As the one normal Scion, the swoopy tC debuted in June 2004 – the same time the Scion brand went national. It's not as extreme nor as lightweight as the Toyota Celica it sort of replaces, but with a punchy 2.4-liter, 160-horsepower engine from the Camry, it is more livable, and its back seat can hold humans. Standard equipment lists are noteworthy, Pioneer MP3 stereos will amaze anyone's ears, and a countless number of factory parts are available for customization. The most important would be the finally-available TRD supercharger, a $3,200 option for manual-transmission cars that boosts horsepower to 200.
