Scion is axeing the xB and xD models! - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

If Toyota/Scion/Subaru collaborate on another car I want it to borrow the Impreza's tech repackaged into a smaller econobox. Make it the world's most affordable AWD car aimed squarely at the SX4 (which is exactly like an AWD Scion). Or bring back the Corolla GT4 and make a WRC comeback (would do wonders to the Scion brand). Make it a cultural icon.

Well maybe scion is looking for a more sportier line up? You think they could be playing with the idea of keeping scion the cheaper sporty alternative to toyota or lexus?

Edit: And what i mean by that is keeping all the 'pure' sports cars in scion.

Yes, I know. I'm just saying, if his statement was true, FRS will be in same boat... Which I highly doubt

They should make a cheap 'Kei' car like this: F' the iQ.

or

If its true no love lost here but i think they should keep the xb

Good riddance, never liked either.

Perhaps we'll see nicer sedans replace them, but then again knowing Scion, they're probably going to instead have a lot more abnormal shaped cars.

Yeah what scion needs is a RWD light weight sports sedan, and a sportier version of the Prius C but with the gauges all in front of you.

Oh and bring back the MR2 and make it a scion. Call it a scion MR-S. And make the next supra a scion call it the scion SR-S.

Lol!

But I think scion is done in about 5 years. Their only hope is to try to make it the performance brand.

Another Toyota X Subaru

When Scion launched the mantra was 3-year model cycles and no evolutionary models (no 2nd generation models). Well, for financial reasons they broke their three-year cycle rule and for marketing reasons they released a 2nd-gen xB (but named the obvious xA replacement the xD?!?)

I'm glad to see these two cars vanish and I would like to see brand new models every 3-4 years that don't repeat any cycles.
