It makes no sense to create overlap cars with their Toyota counterparts. Look at the xD, its pretty much a more square Yaris. No purpose for that car to exist as long as the more well known Yaris exists.


Same would be for a tC Sedan, it's practically almost a Corolla Coupe. The front ends almost look the same.

Badgeneering cars is a bad bad bad idea, look at GM. They had like 3 brands with the same cars and they ended up shuttering 2 of them because it makes no sense.


So they'd likely have a brand new xB (more like the first gen would make the most sense) as one of the three.

If they were making a sedan, perhaps a stretched RWD FRS sedan variant might find some owners. Who can say no to a inexpensive RWD sedan? I don't think theres any on the market that isn't either a giant muscle car or a luxury car.


I dunno what a third model would be. I'd still be campaigning for a mini truck :P
The xD is known as the Toyota ist in Japan, the first gen xB was known as the BB, the current model is known as the Toyota Corolla Rumion. The tC is called the Toyota Zelas.
