The Toyota Scion branch is known for providing unique, high-performance vehicles at low prices. Scions first entered the United States market in 2004, wowing car buyers with their innovative designs and impressive stock features. Recognizing that most of the small cars on the road had little or no personality, the Toyota branch provided younger and first-time car buyers with unique vehicles that were completely different from the rest.
Birth of Scion tC
Two-door coupe T.C.’s descendants first hit dealer floors in late 2004.

The 2005 TC was the automaker’s first sports compact model, with the two previous models being the xA subcompact and the popular cuboid subcompact xB. The 2005 TC represented the automaker’s continued interest in appealing to younger “Generation Y” car consumers. The 2005 tC comes with a low price tag, but still offers a number of standard features, including a panoramic moonroof, keyless entry, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, a Pioneer® sound system, and more.
