talk about pure pricing, talk about how scion has taken the industry by surpise...I own a tC so I cant tell you much more to add...I guess make the xB sound hip, maybe you can use some satire to poke fun at it as an ice breaker

I gave a speech about xB's/Scions a few months ago.
I talked about the price, many accessories, major space inside, etc.

My teacher called xB's ugly...then I told her I drive one.

Gluck.

Good Luck, I did the same thing last school year, before it was even out on the East Coast...Tell them about SCionlife, and all the things you learn from one site...Tell them why you got it, and you'll be fine...

Given the oppurtunity, I would... not talk about scions. What is there to talk about?

tell the fuji approves the xb. and he is in love with it..and has the scion fever and is spending tooooo muuuuch money on it and he is also a scion life junky. and tell them fuji is the coolest person to own a scion. and tell them the fuji like when people compliment the xb and is sad because he got rear ended.

or just tell them something like its the toaster, the shoe, the fridge on wheels.

or that is not electric or a hybrid if you are at the gas station pumping gas.

its the best tuner of 04

About halfway through your speech pause for a second like something is wrong and then screech 'BABA BOOEY' 3 times then run out.

The pure pricing scheme is not new.

I would focus on the reasons WHY Toyota felt the need for a new brand (to target younger people being missed by their other products)

You could talk at length about all the non-traditional methods Toyota used to develop the brand. They deliberately ran few TV ads or print ads when it first came out, instead choosing to show the actual cars at hip night clubs and concerts around the country. Toyota felt that would generate hype better than directly targeting ads at Gen Y'ers. Their market research showed that Gen Y doesn't like being marketed to and the product would have a hipper image if it spread first by word of mouth and reputation instead of ads telling you how "cool" it is. You might mention how they made the cars an exceptional value by using existing JDM models (xA/B) and making all the cars in a monospec, no trim levels. That reduced the cost of production and maintaining inventory etc.

They also saved money developing the xB/bB and xA/Ist by designing them entirely in software instead of building costly models and test mules. I beleive they are among the few (if not the only) production cars designed this way.

I did a speech on Scion too. I knew a lot about it, so I didn't have to worry about memorizing a lot of crap. Only thing is you have to try not to sound like a commercial, just tell people why you like the cars and stuff like that.
