    Is Scion planning to introduce a tC successor in New York... dubbed tD?

    Scion has just about exhausted the mileage it can get from itsvarious and sundry "Release Series" editions of the tC, and the front-drive coupe is the oldest thing in Scion's lineup. There is, though, on the New York International Auto Show schedule, a Scion press conference. What would Scion have in store that would justify spending for a presser instead of assigning a flak to type up a .pdf and blast it out via email?

    Vice president Jack Hollis has intimated that there's a replacement for the tC on the way within two years, and the sleuths over at Inside Line did a little digging for clarity's sake. Winding up at the U.S. Patent and Trademark website, Toyota has apparently trademarked the "tD" moniker, which seems pretty logical. Drawing a line from the name to the press conference, there's a good chance that we'll see a new coupe in the Scion lineup soon, but whether it's a concept or production car is anyone's guess.

    its about time. they have had the tC line for several years and while it has potential, they haven't done anything with it

    I don't think that they'll discontinue or redesign the tC, they'll most likely release the Toyota iQ under the Scion brand and call it the tD.

    Whatever they're boiling on their soup, it better be done right. When theres more than 1 tD it equals a pair of "Titties", lol.:D I'm hoping it'll switch to a FR platform like the Toyobaru concept.
