I know ive seen a few members with pics of scions in their sig so i was just wondering who has gone to the dark side and went from a jbody to a Scion.
I went from this
to this
i was just curious thats all
The dark side has been trying to coax me for a loooong time
My wife drives my 02 Jbody now and is really wanting a Scion XD...so we may be joining the dark side soon.
~kilo
I thought Honda was the dark side?
"Project 69'"
1969 Chevrolet C/10, 1/2 ton, 2wd
-Boosted LS1?
-Richmond ROD 6-speed(will get sometime)
-Posi 12-bolt(built w/eaton posi unit and richmond 3.73 gears)
-Disc brake and 5 lug swap
+little extras
Toyota is the dark grey side.
more like the fugly side
1989 Turbo Trans Am #82, 2007 Cobalt SS G85
The yawn side.

Really the only people I see driving Scion TC's are hot chicks. I think it's officially a chick car man.
Toyota is the beige side.
coming soon!
Lol not a chick car we have had that discussion on our forums already. But true alot of hot chicks do tend to drive them thats always a plus
i dont get the appeal of the TC over a J...except for the look.
And perhaps looks, lol. I won't go into the many other things!

Dont get me wrong i loved my cavy but i lost intrest in it and well ive only had my car for a year and im lovin it. Jbodies have alot of potiental dont get me wrong but when i see one thats rear wheel drive i may go back and get one. There is ALOT of things you can do to the tc for looks as well as power. The new 2011 tc both 6spd auto and manual transmission so with some boost that could be a beast.

I think he's saying when they start making J-bodies rear wheel drive he will go back to driving a J?
Yeah, I got that! Just funny how he can love up a Japanese FWD at the same time as saying it.

How much better is a TC really than a J...really?
well you can do the conversion to a rear wheel drive. There are two tcs in the pro drift events. Yes one has the nascar truck series motor but the other has the motor swap from tje sister car from japan.
Well what do you want to know safety wise performance wise. From what i remember the only thing the cavy had on the tc was probabaly be maybe 1500 on the price. A ls sport when i got mine new was around 18k thats with added sunroof. That comes stock on a tc as well as 10 airbags.
Crash rating was 3-3.5 at best on the cavy tc 5s on front side and rear. Like i said in the beggining i was just seeing who all drove them on the forums?

Not to pick on ya, but take any car designed 10 to 15 years ago and compare it against any new car, and it will come up short in this department. A 90's Corolla will come up just as short compared to a new Cobalt. Just sayin!

I know im saying scion has takin it to another level. If chevy were to say here what the consumer likes to drive and wants to see on the car and can keep a decent price tag they would sell more cars in the long run.
How many times to you see chevy giving their customers anything. By that i mean like sets of rims exhausts interior packages so on so forth raffled off a car shows?
Im a chevy guy at heart but now its only for classics. Scion brand as been there for me so i will stand by them.

10 Airbags....wow are you misinformed. The tC has 6 airbags. Dual front airbags, 2 side curtain airbags, and dual side impact airbags for a total of 6. The tC is a great value for the money, panoramic moonroof, 17" alloy wheels, 4 wheel disc brakes, auto climate control, pioneer audio system with subwoofer for under 19k with an auto and under 18k with a manual. A comparable Civic EX is a couple of thousand more and with less hp and torque.

Why bother? 98% of people who buy a car dont mod it. Thats what the aftermarket is for anyways.

There...I fixed it for you.
