...Toyota Scion tC...
When Toyota rolled out its Scion models, back in the automotive dark ages -- well, OK, the 199os -- everybody wondered whether the small-car lineup could withstand drivers' fickle changing tastes. Current Scions provide the answer. There's something purposeful about the way the latest Scion tC looks. And its 180 hp v4 walks the walk. It stickers, at less than $20K. Scions used to look kinda... uh... lightweight. No more: and they're better cars, because of it.
