Default The Scion xR

Moved from Scion News to Concept...I don't want to get banned.

What is an xR? According to Autoweek, it is coming:

"xR: A four-door rally car, sort of a souped-up Toyota Matrix, could be in the wings to replace the tC as a 2009 model."

Article relates to the influx of Japanese branded vehicles possibly coming to the US.

"Supra":
"Supra: The Tokyo motor show in October could be the launch pad for the next-generation Supra sports car, built off the Lexus IS/GS platform with a 4.0-liter V-6 engine. Sales could start as soon as the spring of 2006."

FJ Cruiser:
"FJ Cruiser: This may be where Scion owners go next or possibly even Jeep owners. The rwd 2007 FJ Cruiser is 11 inches shorter than its platform-sharing 4Runner; the wheelbase also is trimmed 4 inches. Four-wheel drive will be optional on the SUV.

It has two main doors and pickup-style rear access doors for back-seat occupants. Power comes from a standard 245-hp, 4.0-liter V-6 mated to a five-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. The FJ arrives at dealerships in January."

Tundra Heavy Duty:
"Toyota subsidiary Hino is gearing up its U.S. manufacturing operations, likely in anticipation of assembling a heavy-duty version of the Tundra to take on the Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup in the 2009 model year."

The idea sounds stupid to me. Yes why dont we make yet another sporty styled wagon Come on, there killing me. The term sporty just does not flow with wagon in my mind. Sure it might be fast, but with the weight it will probably have, will it handle?

replace the tC? i dont think that'll happen. but ill be glad to see Scion stickn it to mitsubishi and subaru. but i hear that mini will be making an AWD mini by that time, possibly even turbocharged-eather way, it should make the WRC interesting.

Wait a minute-xR? what happened to D-Q?
