Toyota is killing off its Scion brand, and the Japanese automaker will start bidding it farewell at the 2016 New York Auto Show. It’s only fitting, considering the Scion brand debuted its first concept vehicles 14 years ago at the New York Auto Show, so in a way, it’s a bit poetic that it will end where it all began.Inside, Scion carried the black and red theme with sport-tuned seat inserts with red accent stitching. You will find the same stitching on the shift boot, parking brake cover and steering wheel. There are exclusive Release Series carpeted floor and cargo mats, as well as red seat belts and a Release Series sequentially numbered badge to complete the package. Helping improve handling and reducing the center of gravity, TRD has outfitted the 2017 Scion tC Release Series 10.0 with performance lowering springs. The tC also has a throatier sound, thanks to a TRD performance dual exhaust.Available with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, the 2017 Scion tC Release Series 10.0 will start from $23,985 including destination for the manual-equipped model. Opting for an automatic will cost $1,150 additional. The model will be limited to 1,200 units and will be available beginning in June through Scion by Toyota dealerships.“For those enthusiasts looking for a piece of history, this is a great opportunity to own our best tC ever,” says Scion vice president Andrew Gilleland. “With the TRD performance parts, the JDM Aero Kit and the screaming red and black color scheme, it’s a fitting tribute to Scion’s mission to build cars for younger customers.”
