kompressor = supercharger + bright red + 2dr coupe + RWD (+ manual tranny?) = not a girls car

Horsepower: 189 hp
Torque: 192 ft-lbs.

I've only seen women and tight asses driving them... just my observation, I would never cast judgment on any particular driver without first getting to know them, lol.

Is it just me or are they phallus-shaped?

i dont understand how scion can lose touch with its fan-base so fast! they CREATED the micro-car market in the US. and instead of going after the fit/versa in round two...they bring out the xB2 with 750lbs extra to haul around...NOW this RS5.0...the 5axis kit looks awesome on there. what were they thinking

Generally speaking, sales dropped in 2007 for all auto makers. Some more than others.. Scion isn't doing terribly for the niche market that they're in. Just look at Toyota (Toyota, Lexus, Scion) up 2.7 percent over 2006. As far as branding and brand loyalty goes, I think many people still don't know Scion is a Toyota brand/division and are less likely to associate the pretty good reputation Toyota has with the "new age" Scion models lol.

new models + no advertising + crap economy = lower sales

look at initial sales of scions from 04 when no one new they existed. Its the same thing they are basically starting over with new cars again....They dont wont to sell a ton of them. It's half the point behind being grassroots sell to your key customers you want in the cars.

yea 07 was wierd for scion. most waited for the new 08s.

the xD was new and wasnt sold for long in 07. the xA was being phased out. the xB1 was being phased out for the xB2 that wasnt on sale long. the only thing that worries me is the tC. it shouldnt be slumping this soon. thats why scion does the 3yr runs. because its before the major slump most models hit.

i would be interested to see a comparo between the last 4 months of 06 and 07. that would be telling as to weather the new models are slumping or not

Anyone watch Rob & Big? Did you see the episode where Rob finds dookie in the pool, has it drained, gets someone to airbrush the bottom, buys a security system and a net gun and hires a polygraph expert to see if Drama pooped in the pool? Yea, that's probably the greatest episode ever... ;P
