Scion tC
Having just arrived in Canada, Scion is exploring a new market, that of the customized entry-level car. A subsidiary of Toyota, Scion is introducing three models, all of which are interesting. In the case of the tC, it’s an elegant sport coupe. The little car comes with a 2.4-litre four-cylinder that delivers 161 horsepower, but it’s the $20,850 price that’s setting it apart from its rivals.
