It is a great everyday car, A-to-B, but to market a camry coupe as sporty is deceitful and insulting.

I believe that many scion drivers were duped by scion marketing that was geared towards a younger crowd, but this is probably what scion needs to redeem itself. Im a fan of pure-pricing, because haggling wears me out. If this car is well-built and well-priced, it will be my first scion.
I don't remember the tC being marketed at a sports car.... and it doesn't cost that much (well depends on your budget ) to get you tC to out perform those cars you mentioned.... Granted I ended up with a tC because Honda and VW had me on a waiting list and my uncle was able to get me a tC they day I went into the dealership..

I do think this car will be well built as for price lets hope its is under the 25k mark.. .
