Scion tC AT20

2010 – 2016

The Scion tC is a compact car manufactured by Toyota under its Scion brand from 2004 to 2016 in two generations, ANT10 (2004–2010) and AGT20 (2010–2016). The tC was initially introduced in the United States for the 2005 model year and later in Canada starting in the 2010 model year. It was the best-selling Scion model, accounting for nearly 40% of total Scion sales. Interestingly, the name "tC" stands for "touring coupe," emphasizing its design and intended use. The first generation, known as the AT10, was revealed by Toyota at the January 2004 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) and went on sale in May of the same year as a 2005 model. Both the first and second generations of the tC were manufactured in Japan. In 2011, the tC was rebranded as the Toyota Zelas in markets such as the Middle East, China, and South America. The name "Zelas" is derived from "zelante," an Italian term meaning "passionate" or "zealous." The rebranding aimed to appeal to consumers in these regions under the Toyota name.
