300 hp RWD vehicle... unless it's 20 grand or under I wouldn't call it a scion.

Why is there a whole dedicated column for this totally stupid rumor of "dL."

I say this is a total waste of space, and would be better suited with a button that says, "Top 20."

I don't mind this and think that there is a good chance that it will happen, but I really want a top 20 button

Thanks for playing
So what if you heard it from ScionLife? My point was that you can punch in any letters and it will give you the same page the link you posted did.
Why would Darren set up a BS link?
He didn't, in the way you mean it. He simply followed the format of all the other Scion.com links when he made that one. It isn't that he knows something else about the rumored new model, he just knows what the coding/filename standard is for the scion website and used it to make, what he thinks, is the likely new link.

In reply to Boombox757

Jim Farley has his roots in Detroit and I've personally met him in excess of 5 times. I've also met Jim Press a few times.

Personally I'm sick and tired of all the hate you guys have towards dealerships. Some of us are true car enthusiast too-we just happen to sell Scions for a living.

I'm just letting you know what I heard-whether what I was informed of was true or not remains to be seen.

This is about information not a popularity contest.

Has anyone mentioned the video on Scion.com that's called "On the D.L."

I know it has nothing to do with a new model, but the name is quite a coincidence.

I'm sure it will be called the dL, but what will it look like? Nobody knows!

i do know for a fact that there is a car in testing right now that supposedly has 400(i think) hp and can hit 190 mph and will be part of toyota, lexus or scion soon. ive seen pics of it but it was shrouded, however the outline of the car makes it look something like a NSX from what i could tell.

There very well may be such a car in testing but its not going to be a Scion. 400 HP ? 190 MPH? Insurance rates are high enough for males 16-25 as it is. Do you think Scion's target audience could afford such a car much less the insurance premiums for it? You're living in a Dream World.

What I was told is that Toyota was phasing out the Celica and re-introducing the Supra in 2006 - 2007. :?:

i don't hate dealerships or dealers, my dealer (shawn casey, williamsburg, va) is one of the coolest guys I know, his xB was one of the first xBs on the east coast, leather seats, headrest TVs, rims, drop, intake, exhaust, and some decals. he use to have a nsx but crashed it

Default testing them on base. NO JOKE. not 100% sure

I'm a military personal stationed at eglin afb in fl. the pass two days weve had cars driving on and around base. the front and rear of the vechicles are draped with a shadow cloth and the sides are white with black spray painted dots to distort any lines that might give it away to what it is. the're using the climate control building and i saw it turned down to 0 degrees last night. i dont know if this is it or if its a totally differant company or car. im hoping to get some pics and ill post asap, but it is a four door sedan and looks pretty nice! i tried to get some info out of the drivers here on base but they wouldnt give me ANYthing.
