Default 2011 Scion tC Teasers Leaked Ahead of New York Auto Show Debut

http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...how-debut.html

Quote:
Earlier today we reported on a story that Scion would unveil a new Toyota-based iQ model at the New York Auto Show. Now TheCollegeDriver.com is claiming to have several sneak peek images of the 2011 Scion tC – the second-generation version of the flagship car in the Scion brand. The site also says this new car will be unveiled at the NY Auto Show next week.
At first glance the above photo looks almost entirely like the current tC, but after closer inspection its obvious that the front wheels seem to have been pushed much further forward, helping reduce overhangs and improve handling. Regardless, the photos certainly seem to show an evolutionary approach – which is a good thing, as the tC was a handsome coupe to begin with. A few other photos have also leaked out, but they don’t show much other than a shiftable automatic transmission.
We contacted Scion and they won’t confirm the tC or iQ. They did, however, tell us about a new website called ScionDimension.com which will tease photos of a car (or cars) ahead of the New York Auto Show, starting March 26th. The site also has a place to sing up to get more info and a downloadable widget to give you more info on new Scion products. It will also serve as a portal to get photos and information on whatever is unveiled in New York. Plus, it will host streaming video of the unveiling live on March 31st.
Visit the Scion Dimension site here: ScionDimension.com
AutoGuide will also bring you full New York Auto Show coverage starting March 31st, so stay tuned. For our live coverage, click the link below starting March 31st:

Hmmm.... still FWD, surely? I kinda figured the tC would be dead once the FT-86 comes online. Is this just a refresh?

No doubt to avoid reports of unintended heating or cooling cropping up.

from the picture it looks exactly the same.

I hope your right. That car was dated 2 years ago. The other 2 cars in the line up got fresh body styles already

Probably the 2.5L or, less likely, the 2.7L. The 2.4L is going away.

The shift knob on that slushbox is totally rad. Total car porn, slushboxes and cruise control.

How do they push the wheel so close to the front for a FWD set up?

I was wondering that same thing. It might just be the angle of the photo playing tricks on our eyes.

The only fun thing is that finally they got the power up to the old celica levels. With a 2.5 instead of a 1.8. Sheesh.

Officially no longer on my list of cars that make women so much more boneable. The current tC is right up there with the GTI on cars that make any woman sexy. Cool and stylish enough for her to care about cars, but not going to be faster than your car.
