I was passing by today and i saw the 2005 G35 Coupe on the Billboards and the rims were different. The RIMS LOOKED LIKE THE SCION RIMS. It is very similar to the scion TC rims. I dont know whats that all about but it looks very close to a Scion now.

 

the new scion billboard looks like a DG coupe IMO.

Oh heavens. This Scion is an abomination.

 

I don't know. I still think the G Coupe looks darn sexy and unique. The scion tC looks like it is having an identity crisis. Looks to me like design cues were lifted off of at least 5 cars.

 

i always thought the tC was a cool little car. you can see the styling cues taken from the g, note the body side curvature

 

I like the tC, Toyota did a nice job copying cues off 5 other cars. Note the BMW headlights, GT-R front bumper, G35C side profile, Acura CL/RL tail lamps.... but the package comes together nicely. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

HA!, The Gas cap is on the WRONG SIDE!... but in all actuality tho its not a bad lookn lil car.

The tails rather remind me of a Hyundai Tiburon.

And here's the punchline:

Base Engine Size: 2.4 liters..........3.5 liters
Horsepower: 160 hp.............298 hp
Torque: 163 lb-ft...........260 lb-ft
Base MSRP: $15,xxx...........$32,xxx

Hehe, indeed flattery.

It's also wrong wheel drive [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img] Not a bad looking car tho. But I won't be confusing it with a G coupe.

 

the front has a mix of the bmw headlights and the suburu grill.. and g35c door handles.. that's about it.. i like their signal mirrors and their sky light sunroof. i would get one if i was in high school with a whatever job

I think tc looks great! for its price.
I would get that car over anything before 20k

Great little car if you're not a "big dog." I would drive that for sure if i was a youngster (well, under 18...to some my being 23 still makes me a youngster )) From the side you can definitely see the G35C influences. The window line is nearly identical and the new 19's on the G are strikingly similar and absolutely hideous in my opinion. The front of the tC is also very close to that of the IS300. Just a few thoughts...

In the timeless words of Rick James, "I wish I had two more hands so I could give [the new 19's] four thumb down....bitches!"

I like the tC, but those two pictures (tC & G35c) should put any doubt to rest on how similar the two cars look, which is not even close in my opinion.
I'd definitely consider the tC if I was shopping in that bracket though. Looks to be a high quality ride for fairly modest money. Plus, you can get a factory backed supercharger. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could get an Infiniti backed supercharger for our G?
