PRESS RELEASE

SCION ANNOUNCES tC RELEASE SERIES 5.0

Scion recently announced that the only limited-production tC for 2009, the tC Release Series

5.0 (tC RS 5.0), will have a Toyota Racing Development (TRD) theme and be available at dealer

showrooms in March.

The 2009 tC RS 5.0 features gloss black exterior paint and numerous performance products

from TRD. TRD edition 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, in matte black with red trim, and red TRD

lowering springs provide this tC with its menacing presence. For additional stability when cornering,

the tC is fitted with a red TRD rear sway bar. A TRD sport muffler gives the tC RS 5.0 an aggressive

sound signature, while a TRD exterior badge marks the car. A black rear lip spoiler will also be

available.

The TRD theme is continued inside with a black leather steering wheel featuring red

stitching, black seats with red accents and floor mats with the TRD logo. The tC RS 5.0 is also

equipped with a cargo mat. Individually numbered badging completes the uniqueness of this vehicle.

Only 2,000 units of the tC Release Series 5.0 will be built. The tC RS 5.0 model will carry a

manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $2,300 over the base price of the tC. The base

MSRP for the standard tC with a manual transmission is $17,000, while the standard tC with an

automatic transmission model carries a MSRP of $17,800. The available black spoiler has a MSRP

of $285, not including installation.

The delivery, processing and handling (DPH) fee for all Scion models is $670 and is not

included in the MSRP. DPH fee for vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota (SET) and Gulf States

Toyota (GST) may vary.
