Ther'e even realizing putting a 1NZFE(the weakest toyota 4 cylinder since the 3E-E) in their cars is a mistake. Although their ricer commercials don't make anyones privates hard, you can't diss Scion just because a few ricer kids drive them.
No, but I can diss Scion for making the tC something it's not.

I'm not sure how much this says anything, but if I'm not mistaken the F in the engine codes designate an economy designed engine, and a G designates a performance based engine (ex: 2AR-FE, 3S-GE). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this would be accurate considering the tC's engine is taken from the Camry.

I'm not saying this makes the tC a horrible car (and I say that to cover my ass for our fellow tC owners) but I feel that Scion has always been a half-assed effort and that it would be nice if there was actually something designed specifically for what it is being advertised to be.
