Scion to Unveil xB Successor
Date Posted 03-08-2005
TORRANCE, Calif. — Toyota sources told Inside Line that Scion's all-new concept vehicle, known as t2B, will provide a sneak preview of the replacement for its current xB model. The t2B will be unveiled March 24 at the 2005 New York Auto Show.
The xB, which some critics said looks like a 7/8-scale Chevrolet Astro, was one of the first products launched by the youth-oriented brand in 2003. The Scion brand was set up to help lower the average age of Toyota buyers.
In a press release, Toyota on Monday said the t2B will "encompass bold exterior styling, innovative features and a passenger-friendly interior."
What this means to you: Scion has built its reputation on the funky styling of the xB. Whether it can come up with another hit to replace the xB will determine if it sticks around much longer.
