Literally no one with an IQ above 75 believes this.

No one believes a 2 door corolla is a sports car

When I speak. I sometimes just pause. Abruptly for absolutely. No reason.

OP was your retardation responsible for that too or just your tC purchase?

>>14174828
Name one part the tC shares with he Corolla.

>>14174819

its literally "teenagers first car that has everything they want" the car. No one older then like 23 will buy one I imagine

>>14174853
No one cares.

>>14174853

Fuck off faggot. Someone post that image with track times showing rwd cars getting BTFO.

Two door Camry actually.

How does it feel knowing that no matter what fwd car you have, it would've been better rwd/awd?

>>14174869
>not knowing that it isn't even remotely related to the celica at all.

it doesn't even share the same chassis, engine, or anything with any celica that ever existed

>>14174876
The engine is from the Camry, and the transmissions are completely different, so no. They drivetrain is no the same. Show me a Corolla with a factory 2AR-FE engine

>same platform but they changed it on the new Corolla
Nope. Unless the Corolla has been secretly using a double wishbone rear suspension since 2005 and no one noticed.
See
>>14174869
It's literally an updated version of the old Celica chassis.

>>14174882
Name something besides the engine it has in common with the Camry.

The ride never ends

>>14174921
it isn't an updated celica chassis at all. The chassis's dimensions and design aren't even close to even the 7th gen one.

>>14174921
No one at all notices the Corolla's suspension set up.

>>14174819
It's a decent, cheap, reliable DD that's very common with a manual transmission. What's the fucking problem?

Or is everybody mad at that one poser they knew who thinks he's hot shit because 2 doors.

>>14174896
that isn't true at all, especially since fwd is way better at rally and rallyx than rwd. It is definitely easier to drive than both awd and rwd in rally, and is a good learning platform to that end. Also, if you look at tuner battle week ep.5 from motortrend, the fwd unlimited class literally spanked every other class in time attack.

>>14174964
Yes, everyone's mad. Whenever it comes up on /o/, people are quick to say about how shit it is compared to a Civic Si, Fiesta ST, or the FRS. When those cars aren't even it's competitors.

>>14174973
You can tune a fwd to be world class, it will still FEEL worse than if it were RWD or AWD and perform worse than the same car.
It's simply polishing a turd

>>14174921
Both the corolla and the tc are on toyota's New MC platform

>>14174964
It's literal Rice : the car.

Anyone with a tC especially a trd, is automatically someone that doesn't know shit about cars

>>14174991
that literally makes now sense... the top FF unlimited car beat even the top unlimited AWD and FR cars. Meaning it beat other cars of world class status in both other formats. The "FEEL" of a car is irrelevant in competition, all that matters is winning.

>Compared to other automakers, Toyota’s definition of "platform" differs. That is, it is less about shared common hardware and more about a shared development processes.
Again. Name something they share

except it is.

I'm not defending it. If you're going to hate on a car, at least get the info right.

Layout, yes. Anything else about the drivetrain? Nope
>and platform
"platform". That's like saying the Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Grand Prix were the same exact car because both were FWD and made by GM.

>>14175122
The old ones did anyway

So old (2005-2010) tC's used the same drivetrain as 09+ Corolla XRS's. And how easy is it to find an 09+ XRS again? They shared a drivetraing for all of 2 model years. wow. They must be the same car.

The Scion tC is literally designed to go after demographics like single college student and ages 30 and under.

People who feel the need to bring it up against cars like the Civic Si or FiST/FoST need to shut the fuck up. It wasn't intended to compete in any sports segment seriously.

The whole "sporty" image Scion puts on with the TRD shit is just there to appeal to younger buyers and pseudo car "enthusiasts" who want the looks but not the price or maintenance cost of a real sporty car.

>>14175187
Pretty easy

>>14175205
compare production numbers of the XRS model specifically with that of the normal 1.8L Corolla, and then to the production numbers of the tC

>>14175204
THIS! Holy shit.

>>14175216
Don't really feel like it

Nobody says it's a sports car. People say it's a sporty coupe.

Just like how nobody calls a Ford Focus ST a sports car, rather a hot hatch or a sporty hatchback.

>>14175236
>Nobody says it's a sports car. People say it's a sporty coupe.
THIS as well.

The last Scion tC thread summary:

>Hurr durr tC isn't a sports car
of course it isn't. It's a sporty coupe
>duuurrrr... not a sports car
did you read what I just typed or are you illiterate too? No one said it was a sports car.

>>14175250
There was another tc thread?

>>14174896
>it's benchracing when fwd does it
Why can't these hypocritical kids leave

>>14175021
Except rice traditionally, as I understand it, refers to an extravagent aesthetic based on the functional exterior of performance and racing cars, but not being applied to a vehicle posessing the same capability. The STi should certainly count as a performance machine when compared to other new vehicles in its price range.

>>14175257
There's one every few weeks with that same fucking argument.

>>14175257
Yeah, there have been a couple. Each thread devolves into shitposting because people call it a sporty coupe and a couple of mouthbreathing mongoloids on here interpret that as "HURR SPORTS CAR IT'S NOT A SPORTS CAR".

Recently bought a 2014 tC, did I fuck up senpai?
