The Machine of 2011 Scion TC

Nearly six years on since its introduction, Scion’s only mainstream model was definitely due for a rehash. The tC found a place with buyers in spite of (or perhaps because of) its rather more conventional sporty coupe design compared to the rest of Scion’s unique lineup. As we all know, the Scion line was originally developed to bring new buyers into the fold. Without the Toyota brand’s signature Celica or Supra in the lineup, there really wasn’t much to attract a young buyer into the brand. That said, Toyota is gearing up for an all-new sporty coupe, so the tC serves as somewhat of a gap filler until then. Yet the tC – and Scion – is here to stay.

Review 2011 Audi A8 L W12 – Launched at Beijing AutoShow 2010

The “L” means long wheelbase, although it really means longer wheelbase, as the standard 2011 Audi A8 L W12 is already a pretty sizable sedan. In this case, the A8 L gets a 5-inch stretch in both overall length and wheelbase. That puts the wheelbase at 122.9 inches, which is still short of the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but longer than a Lexus LS.

All that room goes straight to the rear seats, which are easier to access thanks to longer rear doors. A three-passenger setup is standard and no doubt perfectly comfortable. Should you not have that many friends to cart around, a pair of adjustable bucket seats is optional. These are not your average rear seats either as they feature heating, ventilation and six-way adjustment. There is also a fully adjustable lumbar support.
