2015 Scion tC: Overshadowed By The FR-S

With its new 18-inch matte finish rims, the tC is a real looker.

The tC's passenger compartment is a total departure from what we're accustomed to seeing in other Toyota vehicles.

The Scion tC isn't very inviting to drive.

Since the FR-S arrived on the scene, the tC has lost some of its lustre.

On the outside, the designers modified the front end with new elongated headlights and a hood that extends lower into the grille.

In back, the new, more modern lights incorporate an LED strip.

Under the hood, Scion has brought back the 2.5-litre four-cylinder that develops one less horsepower (179) at a very high 6,000 rpm.

Founded in 2002, Toyota's Scion division's goal was to target a younger demographic.

In 2010, we called the tC "the sportiest of the Toyotas", but that title no longer fits today.

Unlike modern, completely integrated sound systems, the tC's seems like a throwback to the era when radios were modular and a standard size.

Although it looks like a sport coupe, the tC has a hatchback like a wagon that makes it very practical.
