That last comment is spot on.
Scion is dying because of the lame products. The brand was supposed to refresh every 3-4 years. The tC has been here for going on 5. It needs to be replaced stat. The XB needs to go back to it's roots. Got it right the first time, trashed it with the second (although I think in modded form it is aesthetically pleasing, it is too heavy.) With respect to the engine, they could have slapped the JDM trd turbo on it instead of upping the size to 2.4L....
Total mis-steps and poor management all round. So not Toyota... who the hell is responsible for Scion management?!?!?
The xD and the Yaris compete directly with each other. Why a 5 door Yaris exists, it don't know. A 3 door and the Sedan would have been just fine.
Somebody needs to get off their Laurels and git er done. iQ, new tC, better xB and expand the line to include some kinda light-roader like a Suzuki samurai. Make up your mind if you are gonna keep selling a Yaris 5 door or the xD, because both aren't gonna cut it.
Scion was never supposed to move more than 100k-300k FOR THE WHOLE BRAND. It's quirkiness made it sell well in it's first few years. Then they tried to sell cars to everybody. Totally lost the f'king plot.
