its be to difficult for more to go from a $14,000 xB into a $30,000 Lexus IS.
I would have to agree with this statement.

tis been in the works for along time. this kind puts things on hold. Porsche owns 80% of VW but this still lets the state veto anything.

thats what they just blocked from happening. Porsche wants to close factories and cut jobs. VW is going threw the same thing GM and Ford are going threw but on a smaller scale. Porsche wants to cut back and make some money, but the state wants to protect the jobs,

That's one of the reasons I skipped over to Honda. Besides getting another tC, there was nothing in the Toyota/Lexus market that I liked that I could afford - except the Corolla, but it's a Corolla. If that is my only choice, then I'd rather have gotten another tC. But I'd been there and done that. It was time for something new.

i think the main reason is that ppl are just losing interest in scion at this point. the brand has been around for 5 yrs now and have a lineup that isnt really that appealing.

One of the stupidest things I've ever heard dude...

If was sick of owner BS, I would abandon the site and the scene. I would never abandon my car.

I'm saying the basic idea of abandoning a car because of the scene surrounding it, is stupid.

Never meant that what you said is false.
