Barebones TC Info

[tCMetaLFReaK]

I stopped by my dealership today and the Scion sales Manager gave me the scoop on the base tC model...

Single pane roof glass, no cruise, no fancy stuff at all... starting around 14500-15500.
Comes in VERY limited colors, one of which is possibly red.

Yea i heard about that too..... They want to put everything in as an option now.......Kind of glad i went with the 06 and didn't wait for the 07....

The '07 has all the normal stuff.... The one he's talking about is the spec package:

New in the '07:
Occupant Detection System : weight sensors in the driver seat to determine how and when (adult, or little kid that let off the parking brake) the airbag deploys.
Tire Pressure Monitor : Valve/transmitter that incorporates a pressure sensor. what we have now, made better.
Seats : New fabric for the center portions, bolsters remain unchanged.
SunVisors : Now extendable.
Redline : Higher (dont know by how much yet)

MPG : up by 1 in city and highway, auto and manual

Sounds like the will be cutting back on a lot of things on the spec package.. Well I am happy with my 05 with less than 12000 miles..

i thought the key cylindar was only removed on the passenger side.

and i read somewhere on SL that the rev limit was at like 6.3/6.4 now instead of 6.2 (yea....)
