Date posted: 05-22-2006

TORRANCE, Calif. — Scion will offer the 2007 tC coupe in standard and Spec variants, with prices starting at $15,000.

The new Spec Package is aimed at tuners who want to start with a clean sheet and personalize the car to their own taste. The '07 tC Spec Package comes with steel wheels and wheel covers, 205/55R16 tires, a fixed-glass panorama roof, specific upholstery and a urethane steering wheel. It comes in four exterior colors: Super White, Flint Mica, Black Sand Pearl and Classic Silver Metallic.

The Spec Package is priced at $15,000 with manual transmission and $15,800 with automatic.

The standard tC carries over for 2007 with only modest changes, including a new tire-pressure monitoring system. Prices start at $16,400 with manual transmission and $17,200 with automatic — a $100 bump from the 2006 model year.

The '07 tC models should arrive in Scion dealerships in June
