Scion tC Being Sold in Japan as Toyota Celica?, Can Someone Confirm? Options

[JoKeRkId613]

When the tC was introduced in the US, so many misinformed people were saying it was the new Celica. I believe it's supposed to replace the Celica, but that doesn't mean it is one and tC stands for "touring Coupe" not "toyota Celica". My brother just told me some guy at a Scion meet here in Miami had a magazine that said the tC is now or will be sold in Japan badged as a Toyota Celica. This would make it okay for all the ricers in my area to have the "JDM" tags on their cars and have them say "I told you so", which would piss me off. Can someone confirm this? I went on the Japanese Toyota site and couldn't find anything on it. I'm posting these here because you guys have Celica in your blood and couldn't find anything searching.

Thanks in advance.

I think they do market the scion TC as a celica in japan. dont know about plans to make a 250hp one. sounds cool. but hope its AWD.
