Scion's tC Coupe could see additional variants spun off from its platform, including a 5-door variant. The tC, which shares its platform with the Lexus HS250h and European-market Toyota Avensis, is available in sedan, wagon and hatchback variants throughout the world.
"This platform has plenty of flexibility to do more with," Jack Hollis, Scion vice president-Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc., told Ward's Auto. Hollis didn't give detailed plans about a new tC variant but stated that a five-door tC is "possible". Such a model would not be a stretch, as Toyota's European-market Avensis sedan is already available in a five-door liftback, and would be a more traditional but quirky offering for Scion.
At the recent launch of the second-generation 2011 tC, Scion reps let slip that the youth-brand's next model, the iQ, will hit dealerships in March.
Touted as the smallest four-seater in the world. At just 120-inches long it is roughly one-foot longer than the Smart fortwo. Saying it's a 4-seater is a bit of a stretch, however, and Scion does qualify that it's more of a 3+1, with the "1" being a child.
Referred to by Scion as a "premium micro sub compact" the iQ is powered by a 1.3-liter 4-cylinder and gets a CVT transmission. No performance or fuel economy numbers are available, but Scion says to expect fuel economy in the high-30 mpg range.
Safety features will also be big on this small car with standard abs, vehicle stability control traction control and 10 airbags – including a world's first rear window curtain airbag.
Qnd keeping with Scion's youth-oriented approach with a six-speaker audio system, USB and auxiliary ports, as well as steering wheel mounted controls.
