Don't hate them, just educate them...

I had some guy pull up next to me and ask "why don't you trade that thing in on a PT Cruiser".

partly cuz I'm NOT a middle-aged old housewife But I gave him a whole earful why the box is 10x better.

That afternoon I saw a dozen PiTy Cruisers but not a single Scion, A or B...

some people jsut dont pay as much attentionto cars as we do obviously. to me its an OBVIOUS difference between a box and an element.

but to others they look the same b/c they aren't in tune the automotive world.

peopel call it a truck and it kills me


people call my rav4 an SUV. and i bet you ALL THINK the rav4 is an SUV don't ya! so guess we all aren't in tune either. its actually a compact passenger car...its also listed under the fed government the same as the scion xB

RAV4 IS A WAGON (celica wagon to be exact)

Already got two "NICE ELEMENT" comments. I mean, they're two TOTALLY different cars!!!! One is much bigger than the other. And one has all real car exterior material and one is 50% plastic on the outside!

I am also tired of having to tell people how to pronounce SCION....I get frustrated and just say, "IT'S A TOYOTA!!!!!!" Thye look at me and go, "They make such good cars don't they?"

Exactly.
