My roommate owned his Xb for 6 months and sold it for more than he bought it for. I think the hype calmed while supply simultaneously caught up and this phenomenon was short lived so yeah.. Knowing things like that but then hearing others trash the brand I have a hard time knowing what to expect.
Like I said above, I think the fact that Scion is Toyota plays a major part in the whole equation and also I don't think the Scion image was hurt during the big Toyota "unintended acceleration" debacle either. Can anyone verify if I'm wrong on that. I couldn't find any data to support that those recalls hurt the Scion brand.
