View Full Version : What does it all mean? MotoMan_YZ400 03-02-2005, 09:27 PM Ok, i've been wondering this and so has probly a few others... Scion.. Where did the name come from? how did it come about? xA, xB, Tc... any meaning to any of this? or is it another product of those wacky asians? :silly: rhinonabox 03-02-2005, 09:59 PM Scion ~ A descendant or heir. www.dictionary.com Being a by product of Toyota, this is a suiting name. Scion is the descendant or heir to Toyota. As for xA, xB, TC. No idea. Anyone want to enlighten us? I've heard that TC = Toyota Celica and they are stopping production on the celica and the TC is it's replacement, but I don't know if that is true.

I think when they brought it to the US, they thought using an X would attract more young buyers. Cuz you know that if you put an X on anything, 18-25 yr olds just have too have it. qualityscion 03-02-2005, 11:01 PM tC= Touring Coupe MotoMan_YZ400 03-03-2005, 01:31 AM ok that explain some of that...kinda.... what about xA? or ist? MotoMan_YZ400 03-03-2005, 01:36 AM ok that explain some of that...kinda.... what about xA? or ist? KevinxB 03-03-2005, 01:58 AM I think xA was the just logical counterpart for the xB. I don't know what ist comes from, maybe just the english suffix "ist" as in scientist. It has a ring to it. suby2scion 03-03-2005, 02:07 AM Scion couldn't use xC since it was already used by Volvo. xA, xB..... xC would have been the next. Instead, we get tC. I like it better anyways...

But it all just kinda makes its own sense. |
