You think you are the first person to type such on this site.


The noobs are getting annoying now....with the whole lack of self-esteem about a damn badge. GET OVER IT! Don't need every other damn post to start coming in now with the "oh I can't drive a Scion"....

Audis sell like hot cakes and they are one of the worst built cars in the world right now according to Consumer Reports. Why pay $60000 for something with below average reliability?

The entire concept of brand loyalty seems delusional to me. I'd buy a Pontiac if they ever made a great car. My Infiniti was the least reliable car I've ever owned.

In fact SCION IS NUMBER 1 this year!


Because they are Noobs....you can not kill them with Logic it will not work. It's like if Michael Jordan made crappy shoes, they would still buy it because it's Michael Jordan, simply ignoring the facts that the shoes rubber sole could come unglued within a 1000 foot steps.

Even Porsche had a bad year... down 25 spots from last year but at least they have an excuse. The Cayenne is a piece of shit like every other SUV. Half the "worst model" list are SUVs for the last 5 years running.

Reckon I'm going to leave all the badges on mine like I did for my tC. Only one I might change is the steering wheel.

Aww what happened to the digital dials for the A/C and what not. The generic scion ones are bearable but kinda look ugly. Hope it just do to it being a base spec or something. The navi molding is kinda ugly too, looks like it came out of a local shop rather a factory.

My tC has 170k on it, and I bought it with 35 miles on it. Original clutch, and it still pulls VERY strong. I am very proud to be a Scion/Toyota owner, and it doesn't matter what name brand this car comes in, I just want it for the fact that it looks revolutionary and different.
