    US Could Get 250hp Scion Sport Coupe

    Edmunds Inside Line is reporting on a rumor from Japan: A 250hp sport coupe from Toyota based on the Scion tC is in the works. The current Scion tC, a fun car that couldn't outrun a RAV4 filled with gravestones, could use the extra horses, and if the Japanese sources are correct, the new coupe — due in 2006 — would replace the Toyota Celica in Japan, while getting a Scion badge in the US. Power could come from a worked-over version of the current 2.4-liter for, or a new, high-performance 2.0-liter that's reportedly in development.
