BFTD!!!
Hopefully the new one is a little more performance minded. I'll be watching/waiting!!
On another note; I think the tC had the "S2000" affect on 'yota. The S2000 dropped in '00 as an "anniversary" car and ended up running 10 years straight with minimal change ( AP1 to AP2 ) due to it's popularity. Car-for-dollar is what made it so popular. The '00 S2000 was faster, handled better, AND got better gas mileage than an equally priced GT mustang. Did I mention it was also a convertable and cost less to insure? eIt rode this selling point until the market caught on and caught up. The 350z which released later still had a hard time beating it on a track. Even with rumors flying in '07 of the S2k being terminated, Honda pushed it 3 more years.
The tC came in at the price of an LX civic with more power, more options, full TRD catalog, Toyota quality, etc.... which still stands today. Even with all the rumors, I see 'yota milking this tC for everything it's worth. Here's to the car we love now and the car we will STILL love in the future, even if it might be a subie-yota mutt!!! lulzz
