About the Scion tC ANT10
The Scion tC was the cornerstone of Toyota's youth-oriented sub-brand, designed to offer a sporty aesthetic and high levels of standard equipment at an accessible price point. Built on the Toyota Avensis platform, it featured a 2.4-litre 2AZ-FE engine shared with the Camry, providing reliable if not class-leading performance. The first-generation ANT10 is notable for its 'monospec' pricing and a panoramic glass roof that was standard on the base model. While it lacked the ultimate precision of a dedicated sports car, its massive aftermarket support and Toyota reliability made it a favourite for tuners and young drivers alike.
