Doubt though the engine would have made that much of a difference as most hate the marketing strategy of Scion more than the cars themselves, as most aren't even aware of how it performs.
I'm not saying the tC is a bad or incapable performing car, I just wish it was that tiny bit better!

Well, you should have seen my friends when I told them I was buying my Corolla (granted I left out the XRS part). Now keep in mind the later gens of Corolla easily win the most hated car in the enthusiast community contest, so I believe they were a little hesitant to step in. They were amazed with it after a little drive, enough so that they have a large amount of respect for it's capabilities despite the Corolla sheet metal.
