Problem is maybe Scion forgot that their car is a teensy wee bit more money than a new iPad.
I suppose.. but yeah.. that's rough on a car versas an iPhone.

For the first time I actually upgraded my iphone right away.. granted my iphone 4 was dropped and kicked many many times resulting in a completely shattered screen and a loose microphone connection, but still

And my iPad2 Vzw 64GB only cost me $46.. if an iPad3 were to cost the same I'd "upgrade" after just a year too lol
