Default Replacement for xA?

Is this old news and a repost? This is news to me, but I've been away from my computer for about 3 weeks. . .

It's a repost, but then again anyone have any idea's what it really means? Will we get a new xA? are they talking about the dL? If its a new xA and not a new car what are the top 3 things you think they should change?

They are nixxing the xA after the 06 model and planning to introduce the Vitz into the Toyota line.

Depending on which model/engine of the Vitz they plan to use, I might trade my panda in for it :D

Unless I'm reading that article differently than you guys, I don't think they're getting rid of or replacing the xA. It's just being restyled. That happens to all cars about every 4 years or so. It's not like they're just dropping the model. The Vitz is a hot looking little car, but from what I can see, it's basically an xA with even less cargo room. If that's the case, I'm glad I got my xA.

I want a WiLL VS (NOT Cypha)
It's an xA like I would make the xA if I could.




With the 2ZZ Engine and a 6speed its Super Hot.
I wish I could afford to import one.

I'm waiting until spring to get an xA. I like tohe current look, though if they gave it more mini, less minivan, I'd love to have next year's model. However, if it looks worse, I just hope I can still get my hands on an 05 xA.

Funny how they said the xA was getting a restyle because it was the =least= popular of the line -- I don't know, here in Los Angeles, I've seen more xA's zipping past me than all of the other Scions. Heck, even have another blue xA parked down the street (hey, when did that guy buy one?!?). They're getting to be so popular, they're not unique anymore =O

In my area I've only seen xA's on the road. Granted, I've only seen 4 scions on the road locally anyhow.

I myself am looking to get an xA. The xB isn't quite as quiet, and I think that's the wind resistance thing. it is nice and roomy though, even if it looks like I'd be driving a box.

The most i could think of is changing the brand from Scion to Toyota since the scion has had such a success. Since the echo didn't do to well in my opinion and that hurt toyota's name. But since Scion did so well that would be something toyota could quite possibly do.

I have a relative working for toyota but he won't talk. It jus sounds like toyota will be doin some pretty sweet stuff with there cars.
