Hope this isn't a repost.
"WHISPERS: Toyota Planning New 250-hp Scion tC Date Posted 08-11-2005 TOKYO — The grapevine in Japan is whispering about a hot, new 250-horsepower pure sport coupe from Toyota, coming next year, which would also double as a new Celica in Japan. Japan's moles say they've uncovered secret plans for a new pure sport coupe from Toyota, apparently based around the Scion tC. The unnamed model, due in 2006, has 2.4-liter power, like the tC, yet is good for a reputed 250 horsepower. Toyota is aiming at Honda's stellar Integra Type R (the more exotic, faster version of America's Acura RSX). And the idea would also be to inject some extra speed and enthusiast muscle into the tC. America will soon bid farewell to the Celica, so this new 250-hp sport coupe would be a welcome replacement. Across in Japan, the talk is Toyota would rebadge it as the eighth-generation Celica. While the Celica as we know it is 1.8-liter, the story goes that this new model would jump up to a special high-performance 2.0-liter motor, which may be called 2AZ-GE. What this means to you: Biggest problem with Scion? No power. Thus, this super tC sounds super-cool; let's hope it makes it into the showrooms here." |

Maybe I'm retarded but it says it'll be a 2.4L like the tC except it'll put out 250HP. Then it says the 8th Gen Celi in Japan will have a special 2.0L engine. Are we talking about two cars here or what? Also, I think this is old news because it says we will soon bid farewell to the Celi... we already did. I don't know. This sounds cool, the whole 2AZ-GE thing, but I'm confused.
