There will be no more x-cars, all new SCION's will start with "t", the next one's being the tD and tE. 
Though the Celica and MR2 Spyder are being discontinued in the US, they are being replaced for the rest of the world. A new Corolla coupe will replace the Celica over at Toyota, but don't be surprised to see the global Celica and MR2 replacements badged as SCION's.

i kid, but seriously, where did you hear this? its an interesting thought. the only thing that bugs me is if they really make all their cars t* ... then all the future vehicles would be "touring" types which would be odd for a company to do.

I think thats what he thinks-I don't thinkt there will be more "X" cars, but I don't think the rest of them will either, the first letter is suppose to be the engine type, and I don't think all the new models will have the same engine, plus wouldn't it be stupid to have a line up that looked like
xA xB tC tD tE tF tG
xA xB tC tD tE tF tG
