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 know that. what im saying is that i was told that someone at our meet spot had a new magazine that said the tC will begin to go on sale in japan as a celica. this is not 2 year old news, this is something in a recent magazine and it sounded official, so i was trying to find the magazine online or some info on the latest rumor but couldnt find anything. so i was wondering if anyone here knew anything.
