A CLEAN CAR makes us feel happier and three out of four drivers say a spotless car makes them feel better about themselves.

Scion announces pricing for 2014 FR-S, tC and iQ

Scion announced pricing Thursday for several 2014 models, including the tC, iQ and a new 10 Series iteration for each Scion model to commemorate the brand's 10-year anniversary.

Scion says the tC's updated automatic transmission will shift twice as fast as the outgoing model and includes Dynamic Rev Management technology.
