I just got a brochure for the Scion tC yesterday. Due out in June... considering the 2004's showed up pretty much on June 1st I'm thinking we've only got about a month to go before it's released. I'm trying to get my girlfriend to buy one. She's been pre-approved for about $18k and wanted to get a damn Jetta.

What are people's opinions of these so far? I think it sounded like a pretty good deal. For $16,500 it comes with a *lot* of standard options:

a/c, power windows, locks, mirrors, panorama moonroof, 17" alloys, pioneer am/fm/cd/mp3 player, airbags, ABS, 4 wheel disc brakes...and, most importantly, a 2.4L vvt-i engine w/ 9.6:1 compression ratio that is screaming "boost ME!" with available TRD supercharger already.

I think it looks alright too, probably looks better in person and the interior is designed well too. She wanted a 4-door but I think for the price and options this is a no-brainer.

Anyone else considering picking one of these up? Or are you gonna wait to see what the 8th gen celica or 5th gen supra bring (if they do come)?

Well, when you put it that way, I'd take the Scion over the Jetta. smile.gif

Id have to agree, now this is only hear say, but Ive heard bad things about Jetta quality. Just something to look into when buying a car, Obviously you dont have to worry about the quality of a scion.
