I can't remember where I read it (I think it was an article from testdrive.com or something like that)....but they talked about the "tC" name.
The article mentioned (sorta' as a sidebar) that Toyota/Scion couldn't use xC (to keep with the whole xA, xB thing) because another car had XC in it's model name. I'm guessing the "t" just came from "Toyota" but, then again...why wouldn't they make it an "sC"?

I don't believe what I've read about not using "xC" because it was being used by Volvo ...when I first saw people talking about that, I did a quick search and found that there was the Chysler TC... but you never know... the Volvo is a current car, while the Chrysler model was made in the 80's I think...

Toyota already uses the sC on the lexus sports coupe, which is the SC430, it's been around for ages.

the chrysler TC was discontinued in the early 90's, and they basically changed the name to the LeBaron, which is the same exact car. I also think the Chrysler TC was a colloboration between chrysler and maserati, which at first I thought was kinda cool, but realized later the car was lame as can be.

The Chrysler TC and the Town and Country are not the same vehicle -- one was a coupe (the predecessor to the LeBaron, like whosthatrussian said) and the Town and Country minivan already existed at the same time as the Chrysler TC did...
My bet would be that "tC" means nothing...just like "QX4" or "850i."

QX4 means something, I just forget what exactly.
Most the "random letter/number" things mean something. All BMW "random letters" are not that at all. First number is the series, 3, 5, 6, 7, etc, and the last two are the engine size. Any numbers that follow are descriptive of the type of engine. i means fuel injected I BELIEVE (remember, BMW's an old company). X was all wheel drive, C convertable, s for sport...etc, etc.
Lexus does the same. the first 2 letters describe the car type, last 3 numbers are engine size. 430 for 4.3 liter, 300 for 3 liter, etc.
