I would not agree it was lost due to any demographic. It lost its way because Scion did NOT follow what they said they would do. Which was replace each model with a new one after that model's run. Was supposed to be every 3-4 years! They gave up on it, then realized "oh it's time to end this division, we learned what we needed". Um.. learned not to let stale products stay on the line that long?
