It’s not even remotely as popular as the FR-S in automotive cycles, but the tC coupe gets the job done for Scion, as it remains the brand’s top U.S. seller this year with a 7.1 percent increase to 5,933 deliveries in the first four months of 2014.

Having received some subtle updates last year, the 2015MY doesn’t bring any substantial changes other than the addition of steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters on the automatic transmission model.

Scion also added two new exterior paint colors, namely the Cosmic Gray that replaces Classic Silver and Blizzard Pearl that takes the place of Super White and which costs an additional $395.

Like the 2015 FR-S, the new model year tC will go on sale in early June with prices starting from $19,210 when fitted with a six-speed manual transmission and from $20,360 with a six-speed automatic transmission, not including a $795 delivery and handling fee.
