Default Scion future model News???? Has this been posted ???

i dont surf alot of the other forums on SL other than the South East forum

but has this been posted? It was in the Automotive News....


The Scion Fuse concept hints at the styling for the redesigned 2010 tC. FUTURE PRODUCTS --

JAPAN Scion: The Wedge is out, but box will stay

Automotive News / August 14, 2006 - 6:00 am

xA: Expect a spring 2008 redesign of the xA, which is the U.S. version of the Japan market ist. Don't expect the wedge shape to continue. The xA could be a U.S.-only vehicle derived from the ist platform, or it could be something pulled from the Japan product portfolio. xB: Scion boss Mark Templin says: "We should always have a box. The box can evolve and improve, but the concept of a box will not change." That may mean the current xB sticks around as a heritage model and will not become the redesigned bB seen at the 2005 Tokyo show. A new powertrain is scheduled to come in spring 2008 for the 2009 model year. tC: Expect a five-year model cycle with a redesign arriving in early 2009 as a 2010 model. For a hint of future design ideas, check out the Fuse concept coupe from the New York auto show. xD: Do not be confused by the stretched version of the current xB that has been snapped by spy photographers. That vehicle is a mule for a future Scion vehicle, based on the Corolla platform with more horsepower. The xD likely will be a variation on the Toyota Matrix theme. It will arrive in the 2008 model year. Scion has applied for a trademark on the xD name

^^^ haha hell no. toyota is done with that engine and now way would they do it again, because it was losing too much money in the SC and supra models. if anything, they may go with a late MRS engine or corolla again.
