The only thing shown was the G's Sports...and that was more or less to show what the tuner community could do with the car. Not only that but G's is a tuning partnership with Toyota in -JAPAN-.

The only thing thats official is 2.0L N/A boxer mated to 6 speed MT, or AT w/ paddle shifters.

Even if other markets get a turbo variant, don't hold your breath on it reaching American shores. The track record for entry level and low-priced sports car's having the turbo versions imported isn't very promising, though from Toyota, more promising than other Japanese automakers.

The fact that its being sold as a Scion over here doesn't really help much either. Scion doesn't have different trim options and packages for cars, rather, base models that can be accessorized with dealer add-ons. For a brief period a S/C was offered for the tC....but that was VERY brief, and hasn't been brought back since (I think it was '05?).
