As the worthy successor of the Toyota Celica (that’s where the “tC” possibly come from), Scion’s sport coupe is unchanged for 2012. This small sports car is equipped with a 2.5L 4-cylinder that develops 180 hp and 173 lbs.-ft. of torque. This engine has a proven track record, as it also equips the Toyota Camry and RAV4. Buyers can choose between a manual or automatic transmission, both with six speeds.
