Sorry, you are utterly misinformed.
• The gen1 xB was the Toyota bB in Japan long before it made to the US; it was exported to the USDM not "an original design by Toyota for the Scion brand". This iteration continues today in the JDM as the bB, although the gen2 xB in USDM isn't even made by Toyota and universally lauded as a swing-and-a-miss.
• The xA (no longer manufactured) and the xD are both the Toyota Ist; JDM vehicles exported to the USDM not "an original design by Toyota for Scion brand".
• The tC is a bit more complicated. It was a Celica replacement, but it isn't unique. It extensively platform shares with the existing Toyota Avensis, which predates it. So, not exactly "an original design by Toyota for Scion brand" though not a wholly original JDM Toyota.
• I am assuming by "other small piece of shit" you are referencing the iQ, which is the only other vehicle in the lineup. This vehicle was never designed with USDM in mind, and in fact the only substantive change between the JDM market and the USDM import is the badge... and the fact other markets get a manual transmission. So, in fact, the iQ is the antithesis of "an original design by Toyota for Scion brand".
