Damn .. are 16 yr old girls that dumb ... cause they sound like a bunch of airheads ... the real reason they like the hummer is cause every hip hop star owns and H1 or an H2

Oh please, high school sophmores? 95% of high school sophmores have no taste in anything, they just go with the crowd. The other 5% lead the crowd, and that other 5% of people with actual taste and concern for practicality are buying scions.

Besides; these girls are being paid to rip on every car but those horrid hyundais (which this high school junior thinks are tres lame, lamer than a dodge neon with a huge wing and kanji symbols everywhere).

my girlfriend had a hyundai accent and it was sooooo noisy inside , had no air conditioning, felt like it was gonna lose control over 60mph, had a terrible terrible stereo in it, and no power at all. i don't think their "HIT squad" is really working very well if they think kids want hyundai accents!
i am happy that hyundai won't make something that looks like like a Scion. last thing i'd want is someone saying "oh, is that a hyundai?" about my xA.

and good luck to hyundai on trying to make a Hummer!

Exactly...They took a group of 16 year old kids who dont know isht about cars, dont have any idea how much it costs to own a car, and probably wont because their parents will buy them a 25k acura to keep em quiet. I haven't seen a "teen" focus group that liked the scions yet, but I also haven't seen a teen focus group with a combined automotive I.Q over 5 yet either so I wouldn't even bother getting upset.


BTW.... What idiot wants a fluckin Hyundai?--unless its being given to you, or you like driving in a plastic crap box. If the scions did seem popular to the company and they designed their own box, noone would buy that pos unless they relied on a group of 15 year old idiots to decide for em- it's a freakin hyundai, that's only marginally better than a kia--Not even, and thats only marginally better then driving a huffy. ____ I'd rather walk at this point. Whats next??...Is chevy gonna buy daewoo and try and pass em off as economical fuel efficient space saving econo cars for teens that end up being just another crap stain on the trousers of automotive history?.....O sorry aveo, didn't see you there.

These are kids whos parents are currently picking up the tab for thier gas costs and insurance and probably their car payments. Wait til they realize gas is gonna cost them 80 bucks a fillup for 300 miles on a damn hummer. ____, i looked at fullsize trucks, but i cant afford teh insurance or the damn gas. girls are stupid anyway when it comes to cars... as i was buying mine i overheard the service advisors joking about how one lady religously changes her oil... every 20000 miles.

I am 16, but I must say, most of my peers dont like the scion either, but i honestly dont care. The xB is not for everyone. I think it the the coolest thing to burn rubber on American pavement , and I am getting one this summer .. Everyone who hates on the Scion™ can shove it

Yeah... everyone has their own opinion... Most of the people I know don't like it mainly because it only has 108 horses. It doesn't bother me cause I don't care about speed I just want to go cruisin around. But don't ever let anyone get you down about your car. The car isn't there to make anyone else happy, it's to make the owner happy.
That's just how I put it if it makes any sense...

#1--I agree 100% with NemoBronsky..these kids haven't a clue when it comes to cars..Sounds like Hyundai picked them on purpose just for this forum to make themselves look better...

#2--Even if Hyundai would TRY and make a competitor to the xB, why on earth would anyone buy it when the xB is already out there? And if Hyundai would ever put anything like this to market, I think Nissan/Mitsubishi/Mazda/Honda would beat it with their own versions (Cube/eK/Spiano/That's)..Kudos to Toyota for thinking outside "the bBox" and bringing this awesome ride to the American market!

(I'll get down off my soapbBox now..)

Why dont they tell those girls that the car they pick has to be below 18,000 dollars and see what they pic then. Lets be real they dont have much to choose from.
