0 Weekend Featured Review: 2012 Scion tC

2012 Scion tC 7.0

It been awhile since i have not posted on this blog. I've been busy for awhile providing means for my family. I think its the usual excuse for a dad like most of the parents out there. We need to live ok? Blogging is just merely for an outlet to get out of the usual things at least for me. Anyways, enough of the babble, here's what i just choose for this weekend featured review: The 2012 Scion tC.

The Scion tC is an automobile manufactured and sold by a division of Toyota, Scion. According to Scion, tC stands for touring coupe. The tC was introduced in the United States in June 2004 and Canada in 2010 and is sold as Toyota Zelas in the Middle East, China, Central and South America. It never manufactured and sold in Asia yet although it was assembled in Japan.

As for the 2012 Scion tC, it has only minimal changes from the previous model. However, it benefits more now for Generation Y consumers. As some of the car reviews that i read, the new model is a good choice amongst compact coupes because of its roomy interior and generous cargo capacity. But it has a shortfall on its driving dynamics to match its sporty looks but not much though.

Scion tC is powered by an all-new 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. It cranks out 180 horsepower, more powerful and more fuel efficient than the previous model. you may check its full specs on its own site.

Here's a shared commercial video from Carshen.com. Enjoy watching!
