Default the Truth about the Scion dL, you can't handle the truth

There is no truth.

There ar no plans to make a Scion dL. I've made a few phone calls, this is just some ploy to entertain our selves on ScionLife.

Jim Farley VP of Scion DID in fact say that Scion WILL make a 300 HP RWD vehicle (can you say supra reencarnated) to compete and beat the 350z, Mustang GT, and next eclipse.

hummmm....Very unlikely...plus what makes you think that the people you made the "calls" 2 are going to tell you...so that you can spill the beans??? I doubt it...

I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens....

Explain this link then. Why would they tell you? The powers that be on this site know more than you or I or any other dealer personel for that matter. Just relax, have fun, and enjoy the rumor mill with the rest of us!!

First off all, I would love Scion to make more cars, it would be more money for me.

Maybe the Toyota answer to the TSX!

I just don't think ScionLife is a credible source of NEW Scion information
EDIT: I just don't believe EVERYTHING you here on Scionlife.com

According to this site the $50 referal COUPON is a way to generate busines, however it is totally against the rules of Scion.

I just feel I since I have personal relationships with people at region, and that the owner of my dealership takes me to all his meeting that have anything to do with product.

I tend to get the best info from S/L. Back when the tC rumors were spreading S/L was THE ONLY place with credible info.I am in contact with my regional people all of the time as well. If they do have the info they are sworn to secrecy(sp?) and not telling anyone yet.

How many twentysomething drivers will be able to afford the insurance rates on something like this?

This concept doesn't fit into the Scion demographic. Now, as a Toyota it has potential.

This is a way for the website to generate a revenue and to created a closer connection between the dealer and the buyer. I don't see how this could be against Scion policy since almos 95% of the Scion Dealers you go to will give you atleast 50 dollars everytime you reffer a customer to them....I would think Scion knows this..don't you??

Just wondering...

:mrgreen: Can't we all just get along!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I know is that when we all started this whole Scion thing we were all told that there were going to be 6 scion models as of last year. That came from the higher ups in the scion ladder. So there is no doubt that there is a new model coming out and that the xb is getting replaced and that something will follow after that.

Now having said that, who cares if we all make speculations on what we think the next scion will be. I think it's fun to see what every person thinks it will be or look like. It makes things interesting and has me coming back for more. Don't take everything to heart it's all just for fun. Just have fun with it and in due time we will know the real TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bird Dogs and referral checks have no barring on a transaction.

ScionLife.com offers a coupon. Coupons are totally againt pure pricing.

Follow the link, print it out and ask your Scion regional manager if it's compliant
https://www.scionlife.com/dealers/signup.php?dealer=276

My Scion rep brought this up at a National meeting, and the feed back she gets is that coupons of any kind toward the PURCHASE of a vehicle or against the Scion rules.

I think that if a dealer wants to take $50 off the price (from his/her/the dealerships comission) to get the sale then thats the business of the dealer

I think Jim Farley wears other hats than just El Presidente of Scion. Was his quote direct from an automagazine or the National Meeting. Anyone have meeting minutes? Please share. :D
