that the xD? ^^

yeah but this is more masculine

I'm going to be driving a feminine car? ;)

wha?!

:rofl: Looks like xD's boyfriend... I wished thay have just made this the new xD :rofl:

I wonder how long will it take to get that bumper stateside...

Looks like the bumper is the only thing different. (From what I can see)

now it's the only jdm-able scion! :clap:

Hey motz, where did you find that?

And those who want JDM parts won't have to worry about stuff going outta production this time around.

Wow! Impressive! Why couldn't the xD look like that? Instead we get some stupid boba pearl tea grill design.

I like the color pallet available. In particular, 4T9

I wish they had the dark silver for xD. Regular silver is way too bland, magnetic gray will make the car into an oven in this climate.

What, you don't like the ricey whale shark look?

Hopefully they make a brake vent insert for the fog lights. Truthfully, the xD bumper design is the only thing I dislike. The first gen bloodlines are still in the new ist front end....I like

hmmm...
The new ist does look a little better.

Ahhhh, everyday I think more and more that Scion should have just brought us the JDM models. :nope:

Oh well.

-THE DON

I'm convinced that you only want it because you can't have it :P

I actually like the xD more than the ist.

out of the three that are currently out, the new wannab and the tc, and soon d, the d is all I'd buy the c just isn't comfortable to me

Nice find..........

not on the Toyota Japan site.

Awesome find! This is great for future xD JDM tuners. Obviously the new ist will have JDM bumpers as well as other trick little things. Also a line up of my JDM manufacturers that will back it.

an ist just doesnt strike me as a car "jdm tuners" would want to jump on, especially with a weak 1.8 liter engine, its not the best car to advertise or market parts for.

Notice how I said xD JDM tuners. Also what about the first gen ist and bB? These had tons of aftermarket support by Japanese manufactuers or different parts. I would not be surprised if the new ist gets the same treatment. I would keep an eye out for Fabulous, Garson, and etc for some nice products.

its not launched yet
but they are passing out the catalogue already

Now on: Toyota Japan - ist (http://toyota.jp/ist/index.html)
Just makes the xD front end an even bigger mystery...wtf were they thinking?

Nice! :bow:

http://toyota.jp/customize/ist/modellista/index.html

Why didn't Toyota just keep the xA name instead of renaming it the xD,? Weird. I do see the ist JDM bumper as becoming a popular aftermarket item.
Then again why didn't Toyota just bring over the new bB instead of giving us the Camry wagon, oops I mean new xB - just kidding :P

^^^^^^^^^^
Good question!!

I'll take an ist please. Screw the 08 Camry Wagon. Oops I mean xB. :silly:

The ist is cool, but I actually prefer the xd front bumper (with the 5 axis lip kit of course)

lol finally someone agrees with what I coined the camry van

Gosh, the bumper for the IST looks better than the xD... And the color selections...

Is there any way to get one in the US? (Just a replacement bumper is all that's required right?)

I was all excited about the xD until I saw the IST... Now I know what I can't have...

more pics here...

think the same thing happened to the ist...launched in japan first...then beef it up on the xA... so the xD got launched in US and the new iSt got beefed up... :P

i like it but i agree with Archngl. the xD front end looks better with the 5 axis kit, and stock imo.

to much black plastic at the bottom for my taste.

I like the xD better, but I'd really want those fog lights!

This front end really ties it to the last gen ist (xA). The single bar across the middle, the bigger grille on the bottom. I like this way more.

I'd like to see it with the paint job I wanna get.

Haha I thought I was cool because I found this on my own on Toyota Japan.. lol

I like the front bumper on the IST :( I'd love to get it on my car. Also I like the paint color they offer for the car. Purple would be fun.


[edit] hey! It looks like the IST gets the handle bar thingy for raising and lowering the seats! http://www.nihoncar.com/en/news_gallery.php?id=552&img_name=Toyota_IST_Scion_008.jpg
I wonder how hard it would be to get that for the xD.. hehe. So jealous of the Japanese, they usually get the coolest technology (credit card in your cellphone!) and they got the nicer looking xD :(
