zeitgeist57 Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Oof. Just saw one on the road. Looks EXACTLY like a Saturn Ion with new BMW 5-series headlights. graemlins/wtf.gif The majority of the car looks Ion-ish, unfortunately. It's a good thing I've heard great reviews of the interior and, being built by Toyota, the quality should be there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 pics? I can't remember what that one looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye23 Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 You can also get them decently modded from the factory. Subwoofer, neon accent lights...all the good stuff you guys like! I've heard that eventually, a SC will be a factory option too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraGlue Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Get used to the Tc, because after 2005, the Celica AND the MR Spyder are gone. Apparently, the Tc is now Toyota's idea of a "sport compact". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 I saw an xA, I think it was an xA, at the blockbuster on 23 by polaris. It was blue. And had graphics on the side that said Scion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Tc total crap. I have yet to be impressed with any scion. Designed with the ricer in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tc is quicker, handles better and just generally out performs the Celica, and it does it for less money. What more could you ask (from a 4 cyl. fwd economy car)?

Ziggy1647545504 Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 I don't think it looks BAD, uninspired maybe, but not bad. I'd call the styling "mainstream", almost bland, but not unattractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquirrelyNutsDSP Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 It's a good marketing strategy, regardless of initial opinions. I've seen a few xB's on the road already...they'll be catching on here soon enough. Scion's really not a bad choice for a daily driver/commuter car but their cars are by no means racing platforms. I would say eliminating the Celica won't hurt Toyota too much, it's essentially been a stagnant style since the 99 total redesign (one minor model change since then). The MR2 Spyder just didn't catch on in the American market, plain and simple. Having three names (Lexus, Toyota, Scion) will most likely give the company more flexibility, and is obviously a better marketing strategy, while still making quality cars.

Celica GT-S's manuals are easy 14 second capable cars with only free mods, if that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controler Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Not to be PC, but not one person here has called it by its correct name, tC. Anyway for the price its a good buy. And I think it looks more like a RSX than an Ion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Toyota is becoming so freaking lame. We had the All-Trac Celicas in the 90's. The 2nd Gen MR2 Turbos (not this queer Spyder that pretty much no one wants). Had the MKIII and MKIV Poopras.....we are talking serious performance cars here. Now what do we get. A Celica w/ an optional full-on factory rice package? The MR2 Spyder. Laughable.....then they decide to axe those too. For what, an even more boring econo-box lineup, that isn't even under the Toyota name? I REALLY hope this bites Toyota in the ass.....they KNOW how to make cool cars, they just choose not to (they are CLUELESS when it comes to marketing those cool cars however). I've seen a few more xB's on the road. I've gotta say, the Honduh Element, which had de-throned the Asstech as the ugliest SUV-type vehicle, has now been dethroned by the xB. And to go along with that, WTF kind of names are there for cars?? Freaking lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
