Scion iA sedan teaser

Scion iA sedan was just teased. It's going to be shown in NY show.. kind of looks like an EvoX from this teaser

I see some Focus and Evo X inspiration there. Interested to see the entire car.

Was about to joke about the fact that Toyota has produced exactly one car with notable 'driving dynamics' in the last decade: the LFA. The FR-S is produced by Subaru after all and the MR2 and Celica were designed 15 years ago and ceased production 9 years ago.

This will continue to be true as the iA is supposedly born from partnership with Mazda and based off the Mazda2:

Would rather Mazda.

Mazda love spillin over from the Miata thread ;)

Really though, I think everyone is hoping that the iA gets sports sedan reflexes on a budget (even though FWD). Maybe, just maybe Toyota really does has a viable plan to rebuild Scion.

people seem to be getting up in arms about Toyota's joint ventures but don't even bat an eye when nearly EVERY small car in Europe is a VW underneath.

Produced. Not designed by Subaru.

Strat...

Strat...

Homie, Strat, for your sake, mine, and everyone else's on this forum, DO NOT bring that debate up.

That debate is a variable pandora's box that can cause an entire thread to implode in on itself in the most violent way.

Flaming, irrational behavior, incoherent babbling, are just some of the ways it will happen.

so save us all and leave it at "joint venture"

no one can argue with that.

wut

Far as I'm concerned I'm glad Toyota is taking lessons, maybe someday they'll develop a fun car on their own, it's been 15 years since they developed an affordable truly great handling car on their own with the MR-S.

I'll do Nemesis a favor and leave it at this.

What was this thread about?

Oh yeah! The new Scion sedan!

I'm just thankful that Scion appears to be going strong still in North America. It's hard to not see Saturn parallels. I feel like every new model legitimizes the marque a little more.

I think the Miata is better. can we compare it with the same trim levels so its poles to apples?

I think we should leave the Polish out of this.

this car will probably be axed quicker than the matrix:laughabove:

The matrix was produced for 10 years in America. That's probably longer than the frs will last

I'd rather just have a Mazda2 :/

Dear Toyota, did all your designers die in a freak accident? Build your own cars, you losers.

Reminder: Nearly every small car in Europe is a VW underneath.

also Engineering and R&D cost money and despite being one of the largest firms in the market, Toyota would rather split the cost than fund it solo.

Just the way it is right now.

I just watched the Top Gear episode you stole this sound-byte from.

:cheers:

Keep in mind Yamaha has been building engines for Toyota for about 50 years. They also own quite a bit of Yamaha (much like they own quite a bit of Subaru).


Back on subject, not really digging the look of this car...

Agreed. The mazda2 is one of my favorite small cars. I think it will be hard to top it.

looks like a reskined Toyota Aygo in Asia/Europe ( Which is also a Citroen C1/Peugeot 108)

It did get axed? I never noticed... It must not be a popular car then.

On a serious note, it should be more popular than the iQ. Small compact sedans seem to do okay, but the small city car..nope

The matrix cost too much for what it is,
venza is getting the boot too, not going to see a 2016, Being slotted between rav4 and the highlander with only a few hundred dollar difference didn't seem to make sense. to the majority.

everything except the front looks just like a mazda which isn't really a bad thing

^ true.... But why would you pick a scion over Mazda? For real. XD

Same reason I picked a Scion over a Subaru. :thumbup:

Because you can!

What more reason for ANYTHING is there?

Scion iA Spyed. Proof that Toyota Has Given Up on Scion
 

I saw this and...well, I have no words. Well, other than "Blah." And "Can't believe Scion is going to bring this boring meh-box to showrooms." Ok, so I have some words. Scion used to be avant-guard, head turning (for either good or bad reasons), and try to design in a way that would spark conversation. This carries none of that legacy. What's your verdict?

I am just disappointed. :( That frown on the front fascia is well-deserved.

Looks like a Hyundai Elantra IMO

OHHHHH when do they come out
Was a huge fan of the Pontiac Sunfire and that has almost as much style and class.

You just overloaded my sarcasm detector, Tcoat.

Now I'm going to be confused all over the internet until I get a new one.

Thats crazy ugly. Who in their right mind at scion would think this will sell unless you can buy it at Dollar General

The sad part is that they will park them beside the FRS and say "now if the 2 door is not practical we have this little baby right here for you"

2014 Civics look better than that and I think new Civics are hideous. To be honest I never thought Scions were that aesthetically pleasing to begin with. There is no Scion, past, present, or future, that I would buy. The only exception being the FR-S, which is a rebadged Toyota for the US.

That car looks very confused.

It's a rebadged mazda 2 pretty much.
It's a low cost car.
They can't make it look too good or it will look better than cars above it.

So much Elantra. Screams Hyundai

My point exactly. This should not have been a Scion, they should have made this a Toyota, for all the excitement it brings.

Yaris sedan in Canada according to the article.
