I would swap out a stock gts for a tC with a s/c. BTW, are you sure it's TRD supercharger? I thought they "outsourced" the production to GM, and it's now using the Eaton supercharger.

I also like the new spoiler that scion has come out with for it, much nicer than the original lip thing.

If it did, would it be a tC? Anyways, I kinda like the looks of the tC. Whereas the Celica looks like a young, edgy racer, the tC looks a little more laid back and "sophisticated". Apparently the interior of the tC and all its amneties are all very nice. I've yet to try one. Enzo Ferrari " You may be a Ferrari owner; but, you may not necessarly be a Ferrari Driver."
