Take a good look at the Scion tC (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/tc) Release Series 6.0... it's kind of a big deal. Last year, Scion offered up 2,000 tC Release Series 5.0 (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/11/chicago-2009-scion-tc-release-series-5-0-is-errr-i-releas/) models. This year, the new Release Series 6.0 will be almost twice as rare, with just 1,100 such models planned for production. Better get yourself in line now.
To recap, this special tC comes painted up in Speedway Blue, which looks even more like Chrysler's classic B5 Blue (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/29/09-challenger-brochure-hits-the-web-retro-overload-ensues/) in person than it does in pictures, along with some very Challenger (http://autoblog.com/model/challenger)-esque flat black stripes. So, what we have here is obviously a pint-sized muscle car, right? Well, not exactly. With the same exact 161-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine as all the other tCs sharing roadways, muscle isn't really in this car's vocabulary.
It's not all bad news, though. The 200-watt Alpine audio system with iPod/USB jack and 4.3-inch GPS touch screen do come standard for the car's $18,620 (with a stick, or $19,420 with an automatic) asking price. Check out the high-res image gallery below and click past the break for the press release.
