I actually like it a lot. Especially the hood. The grille is pretty tiny, though, and needs a floss job.

do the scion tC's even have a intercooler with their TRD SC?um thats sweet but the front end looks like a yaris

Looking at it and the Vibe, it looks like they are identical except for the grille and front lights. Not sure if that's a step in the right direction. They both benefited previously by remaining quite different from eachother, with the exception of the interior.

I said it!I think the tC supercharger is a centrifugal one, which I thought required an intercooler. It and the turbo are quite similar but the turbo is driven by the exhaust gases and the supercharger is driven by the engine. But they both have the save impeller design, or what have you.

I'm not gonna say I don't like it but I'm still holding my opinion until I see a stock one....I like rally cars but I hate roof scoops

Maybe a modified version? I dunno. Just speculating here.

Hey,so many pics to look at today.I really like like this also,luv the hood and the roof thingy,plus that sexy color.This is a rally car,so did you notice the fuel cell in the trunk,the intercooler is to keep the temps down in racing applications,damn superchargers and heat.I could use one of those now,instead of w/i.

fyi the title of the thread is wrong...its 2009 not 2008....

Yes, I know. Autoblog had it as 2008, so I thought I must've been wrong. Mr. Smartypants.

I love it!!! Liked the fact there is a map 1 and map 2 setting plus there is a dial for boost. I don't think its a S/C I definately think its a turbo.
