they way I look at it is that if the new eclipse had a great motor someone would be doing something with it. Big Len did in a Prostock chassis and still only went high 9’s compared to leslie durst who is low 9’s all motor in her TC. Obviously, the TC has a motor that responds to mods much better as well as the shell of the car looking awesome ---

the TC not only isnt that much slower than the eclipse it also has the availability of warrentied performance parts and great service plan. it looks better(not an SUV like the eclipse) and flat out performs better. Bolt ons are all available from Scion and you can still get the car serviced if something breaks. sounds like a deal to me. edit: the 2008 Imprezza’s look awesome and the WRX starts at 24K so you could get the 2.5RS(or whatever it is called now) for a decent price and it looks better than all the cars stated above IMO ---
