Today I had two different people, both complete strangers, ask me about my tC. One guy asked me how I liked it and then asked me about what came standard, how it handled, etc., and the other guy asked me what it was and complimented my wheels.

I gotta say, the comments and looks are pretty nice.

I never had anyone say, "Hey, nice Corolla," or, "Hey, is that a Supra?" when I had my Corolla.

edit: just testing something...... sorry- T

Err, forgot to add:

Have the rest of you guys and girls gotten a lot of this?

Um, it's a clown.

Duh.

LOL... i love getting looks from people in BMWs (there are alot in my area). I bet they think i'm driving a honda civic with a "BMW" body kit! LOL... the looks I get are great!

Have definitely noticed looks from Beamer drivers -- I'm thinking, "Nyah, nyah, my car cost 1/2 what yours did, and it looks way better!"

I've already almost gotten into one accident cause I was so surprised to see another tC...

Fortunately I didn't hit anything (but I was driving a loaner anyway, since my car was at the dealer getting options installed)...

I've heard the same thing about the tC looking like an Audi, and the back of it does look somewhat like the A4...

 

[basilisk4]

It's mostly in the taillights that there's some resemblance, if you ask me... I don't like Audis, though, so it's fine with me if my car doesn't really look like one.

I know...the tC is such a spectacular deal. In fact, I delayed a week in ordering mine because I was trying to figure out if there was something missing or wrong with it given that it was so cheap.

I actually got my dad to come out and look at the car with me. My dad test drove it and loved it -- after the test drive he was saying things like, "Maybe I'll come back here in a year and trade in my Avalon for one of these..."

Four people in the last two days have come up to me when I happened to be out of my car for two seconds and commented on my car -- today a guy in a late '90s Civic with high spoiler and $1,500 rims started asking me about it and said it looked really nice...

Oh, by the way, the Civic guy said he thought it looked like an Acura...I don't really see that.

I think that most girls are shallow, crazy, cheaters, backstabbers, or stupid. That's one of the main things that has kept me off the market for so long. Before you say it, I realize that the same thing could probably be said about guys, but I don't date guys so I don't care.

 

[basilisk4]

Great story, and I'd like to offer my condolensces to your girlfriend for owning a Forester.

I bet you're right about the Corolla guy. Speaking of which, I was back at the dealership yesterday, and I saw this Corolla XRS with a sticker price of $18,891...that just cracks me up -- people are paying more for a Corolla than I paid for my beautiful tC with tint, auto-dimming mirror, and blue light kit? Crazy.

I have continued to get much attention -- and I've missed it for the three days that my car has been at the dealer, during which time I've been driving a nondescript tan '04 Corolla. I miss my tC.
