The tC received a minor facelift in 2007 for the 2008 model year that included a revised grille and new head and taillights.
The Spec Package was discontinued for the 2009 model year. MSRP was $1,400 less than the standard model. Meant to serve as a blank slate to the tuner market, the Spec Package was offered in only four colors: Super White, Flint Mica, Black Sand Pearl and Classic Silver Metallic. The Spec Package replaced the 17-inch (430 mm) alloy wheels with 16-inch (410 mm) steel wheels and seven spoke wheel covers, and had simplified interior and exterior equipment, including a fixed rather than powered glass roof, deletion of cruise control and steering wheel audio controls, and urethane steering wheel finish instead of wrapped leather. This generation was not sold in Canada.Ī bare-bones version of the tC known as the Spec Package was offered without many of the standard accessories. It was offered at a low (base MSRP of US$17,670 for the 2009 model with manual transmission) with the pure "monospec" pricing marketing style that Toyota adopted. The tC shares its chassis with the Avensis and uses a MacPherson strut front and double wishbone rear suspension. Standard equipment included power windows, cruise control, air conditioning, keyless entry, mirror-mounted turn signal lights, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, a 160-watt Pioneer sound system with CD player, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a panoramic moonroof. To this end, Toyota included numerous standard features, and optional features were easy to add. The tC was a spiritual successor to the Celica intended to appeal to the millennial market. Toyota debuted the production tC at the January 2004 NAIAS with sales beginning in August 2004 as a 2005 model year.
