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.
lol you mixed up the displacements, XRS is 1.8, but tC is also 1.8, Si used to be 2.0, now it getting bumped up to 2.4
