Yeah, she was saying the new tC looks more like FRS. Front end is redone to resemble it and the rear looks similar now as well. They redid the suspension and brakes too, so i'm excited to see that.

BTW, the special edition FRS, along with all the other special edition scions, is also going to come with a solar powered shift knob

To expand on this, you may want to turn VSC off for first gear starts. The autos have a "snow" function that let's then start in 2nd gear for reduced wheelspin. We don't have that luxury, so first gear starts could be impeded by VSC kicking in and cutting power.

@ichitaka05 seems like scion special edition rumors aren't just popping up in just one place, here's another claim of one but total opposite of what we heard before.

Hm... interesting

That means the TC might be a worth while second car to own, it's sorta practical. well it wouldn't beat an Impreza but still if you wanted another Scion a nicer TC would be great. Solar powered... what the heck is it gonna power? LOL

wow... just... LOL...just a nice leather wrapped one with nice numbers is good enough, I guess it's the novelty of things. I love this brand though, wish I could work for them lol! It seems nice and fun and that's likable enough.

Anyone interested in 225/45/17 BFG KDW2? Less than ~4000 easy miles driven on them. Can get tread depth for interested parties.

I can include a 5th spare for free; was patched due to a nail in the tread blocks ~150 miles on the tire.

Guys the wait is killing me. My car is on the boat now from JP. Scheduled to get it in 3 weeks.

I never got to order mine, but at least you can know that you picked the color you really wanted

There are some perks to having a family member that works for Toyota.
