Gonna repost this just because it took me some time to type it and I think it fits in with a lot of what that Scion VP said (sorry about the repost).
North American Model Year 2017 Refresh. Rest of world gets some of this in 2016, but the big news will be Scion moving to multiple trim levels per vehicle to improve margins and offer audience features missing from the single model.
