Top 7 best scions ever made
 
http://autoweek.com/article/car-news...-scions-ranked

Cool article that talks about the 7 best scions ever made. I know the article is a year old but did a quick search and couldn't find it posted before.

How accurate is this list?

lol 10/10

Clever joke. It had me going for a moment, because I wasn't sure Scion even had seven models to rank.

Not gonna lie tho, I have a soft spot for these:

They pretty much only missed the regular 2014 models and they could have best 8 scions.
Whoever drives those MY14 must be fuming right now since they didn't make the cut.

None of those listed were Ultramarine so they clearly fucked up.

They opened with the only one worth talking about.

Although the angle isn't flattering and it sort of looks like monster truck height.

I can vouch that this color is a close second in my heart. funny story I've told like 100 times about this color and car --


before I turned 18 and I was holding my learners permit I was out grocery shopping and there was a CarMax across the parking lot from us. while shopping I hopped online and checked their inventory and they had one just like that. Hot Lava with no spoiler bone dry stock. The guy actually let me test drive it even though I was only on my learners permit. I was literally shaking as we drove it around the huge empty CarMax parking lot lmfao. Cringe but to this day I thank that guy for really lighting that spark in me to want one of these cars more than I already did.

Yes, xB1 was/ is sweet... especially in the limited ed. colors : hot lava, burnt penny, yellow school bus, and the green. It shares the same engine/tranny as the xA (xA is more aero, better MPG) , but xB1 is more versatile. I believe it's the same 1.5L engine that's in the 2nd gen Prius, so for its time 10 years ago it's a solid MPG/ durable car, that many on the ScionLife forms have managed to get 300k miles out of original engine/tranny. The RS3 xA from 2006 is sweet, hard to find in manual. Buying a clean/used example now a days can be hard to find, but it's possible and to spend $5-7k for a cleaner example....good bang for the buck for a commuter.

The Monogram is the only 2014 worth mentioning. :bellyroll:

Now a Lava Monogram would be the best of all!

LOL I had a feeling the list would look like that.

I will admit, I've seen a few of the Scion IM's on the road and they always seem to catch my eye for some reason which I can't quite explain.

And the Scion IQ's look like they might be fun although I've never driven one.
