Replying to: shaneinmi (Jul 01, 2008 11:25 pm) one strike against it at the moment is that the stripping above the windshield has shriveled up due to "hot weather" I find that rather interesting seeings how I have never seen a vehicle do that before, no matter how hot it gets. Starting to question the craftsmanship...big time.   Well, ahem, remember what you paid for it. It is after all, one of the least expensive new cars on the market.....not a Lexus.

Replying to: nvbanker (Jul 02, 2008 10:53 am) Well, ahem, that stripping should not have occurred....period! What does the price of the vehicle have to do with it? The dealer should take care of the problem, no charge, and right now! Replies to this message: nvbanker (Jul 07, 2008 11:47 am) cdmuile (Jul 07, 2008 7:00 pm)

Replying to: cdmuile (Jul 05, 2008 8:20 pm) Indeed, the dealer should fix this, and I hope they did. But I hear you don't get top line Toyota quality always, with a Scion..... like some of their models are subcontracted out entirely. Replies to this message: cdmuile (Jul 07, 2008 7:00 pm)

Replying to: nvbanker (Jul 07, 2008 11:47 am) Really. Where did you find that information? Just curious, but Toyota quality was a major purchasing reason. Please don't tell me that Scion has been outsourced to, like, Yugo!
#1933 of 2033 I'm waiting for this...to find its way to the USA by andeet Jul 08, 2008 (2:26 am)
What is it? TRD Aurion. Supercharged V6: 323 hp, 295 torque pounds. Has the title for the World's fastest FWD. But only available in Australia. Australia Highway patrol officers use these for their patrol cars.   http://www.toyota.com.au/aurion/trd-aurion   Least they can try American model since Toyota is slacking with the Supra project.

Replying to: andeet (Jul 08, 2008 2:26 am) Andrea, the Aurion is really a Camry. Look at the interior and it's like our Camry SE. It does look a lot better than our Camry. We will probably get it here as a refresh for 2010 or maybe the next generation like they did with the Corolla.  Mack
#1935 of 2033 Well people... by andeet Jul 10, 2008 (2:26 am)
Since I work with very car inclined people. They have been known to built cars from bottom to up.   I decided on putting the end to my Scion tC project. And go for a early 70's VW Beetle. My co-worker is keeping close eye on one on ebay. If no, one bids I can buy for $175.00. Yes it comes with a motor! He knows people that could easily tow it to his place where the fixing up would happen. Body work, repaint, rebuilt engine, new interior.   His family lives to built up cars. He even told me they've been know to work on cars to night to day. He's looking forward to it already. I told him my story why I wanted one and he kept saying "Okay."   My theory is...there's so many parts you can buy the Beetle and not put a dent into the wallet. You want economical classic car go for a VW; its been proven. $5,000 to Beetle means completely restored Beetle while to a Scion means wheels, header, sound; that's about it.

Replying to: andeet (Jun 29, 2008 9:23 pm) I have an '08 tC release series 4.0 with the manual 5 speed. I really would like a tad more sound from the exhaust. Not much....just a little. Any suggestions? Please list specific brands and your suggested price range. Thanks in advance.
#1937 of 2033 Re: TFS/Carmax isn't going to like it LOL [andeet] by heybroder Aug 01, 2008 (10:39 pm)
Replying to: andeet (Jun 30, 2008 12:56 pm) You mentioned having your tC some temper....exhaust..I understand that; then you say CAI. What is CAI? And where would you get a header? Would replacing the stock exhaust with a header, void the warrenty? Does the automatic transmission hold up? Is it reliable? I have to have something that will last well over 100,000 miles. Yes, I plan on taking very good care of it. Just because I too want "temper" doesn't mean I am going to drive it as a hotrod. tyvm
