I am not a big fan of that stick out antenna .... makes the car look cheap, just my opinion.

This does not belong in the regional section, it has nothing to do with NorCal.

NorCal chat thread here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24888

Also, IMO the tC is a big POS. It just looks even cheaper.

true but I have to say this is quite possibly made in the same line as the BRZ FRS

Made in the same line? I don't know what you mean by that?


Next time post stuff like this in the chit chat thread and we can all talk about it there. It's what the thread is for.

The styling is influenced by the FRS/BRZ so the design sensibility is more uniform or "inline" at least that's my interpretation.

I'm going to post here so you can get like this:

As for the OP; it's another boring Toyota
reminds me why I'm not a fan.

Edit: Now that I think about it I'm actually starting to miss the 90's, my gf has a '93 Camry Wagon that has grown on me, very sensible and not offensive in any way. It's still a slug though.

The big news is that head unit, it's going into the FRS as standard equipment for the 2014 model

I'm actually jealous of those HVAC knobs, looks far more upscale than the basic knobs we get in the FRS/BRZ Premium. I would have been happy with simple knobs like this, don't need the fancy climate control of the Limited.

I literally think it looks worse. If I was in the market for a POS FWD car the pre-facelift looked better.

Not in the same category or price point. The MS3 starts 5-6K higher than the TC. A regular Mazda 3 is competition for the TC, both in power and price.
