2010 Scion tC Don’t Need No Stinking Redesign

admin — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:22:16 +0000

2010 has been a hard year for Toyota, with that whole pedal forcing acceleration, killing and causing recalls thing. But Scion has remained (mostly) untouched by Toyota troubles. With that going on, Scion dropped 2010′s tC with a …oh wait, no redesign at all. Maybe it’s a little lazy, but why change what works?

2010′s Chicago Auto Show is one of the largest car events in North America – so it’s the perfect place to view Scion’s tC & the tC Release Series. “Release” is a 6-speed manual RS 6.0 starting at $19,290 – which includes $670 in destination fees; an automatic adds $800 to the sticker.

tC Release Series features blue exterior with black racing stripes, black fabric and blue highlights, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with blue stitching. Alpine supplies the 200-watt audio and navigation system, with a 4.3-inch touch screen, USB connectivity, RCA outputs, and HD radio. RS 6.0 is due to hit dealers in March. But for now, when an Auto Show comes to your town, check it – you may get a chance to test a Scion tC.

Scion tC Streak – Zag When Others Zig

The latest Scion tC Ad, called “Streak” wants you to “Zag when others Zig” – so why does the 2010 tC look like every other Scion tC? We’ll give Scion/Toyota credit for a catchy, clever ad. Yet, as they text asks you to be original, we can’t help but notice the all new tC looks a heck of a lot like previous models that have been on the road since 2005. Maybe after another 5 years Scion will start to look into design changes.

You can see a full-sized copy of the ad produced by ATTIK of San Francisco, CA. We know there is only so much one can pull off with a car ad these days. And as we do enjoy the magazine style layout of “Streak” – I guess we just wanted a little more out of Scion. Picture via adsoftheworld.
