I'd buy one of these. It'd be great for commuting and mild hauling. If you see how many trucks are actually used, this thing could easily compete.

I, like some of the others, really miss the old compact trucks and truck-like vehicles of the late 70's - early 80's. There are already plenty of trucks in the US for people who really need 4x4, or higher payload capacity.

I hope Scion makes this thing. I hope it's a 4cyl. I'd be happy with FWD as well. Keep it simple, and keep it inexpensive. Keep it focused on a sorely underrepresented part of the market.

I could see using this thing for:
- Occasional hauls to help people move
- Camping (tent camping - no illusions about towing a trailer)
- Beach trips
- Costco runs
- Nights at the drive-in
- Basic commuting

I hope they make this for next year. When i was in the market for a new car, i was looking for a small truck. But nobody makes "small" trucks anymore. And that sucks! I want a truck that doesn't guzzle gas and is cheap and is just for me and maybe someone else. But mostly for me. Scion here me out! make this a truck!!

Totally sweet! I think they should make it FWD. Much better fuel economy.

well since the new law about cars must get 35 mpg by 2020, this would be a great idea for scion to bring to the table. besides i could use one to haul maybe a small table. now the question is if they made the xp, would the xp be in the garage or would the gen1 xb be in the garage. i guess i would have to rotate them lol

why can't they give us some information? I hated the way scion kept everything under wraps when they released the xb and xd. At least say they are going to make it.

Well, that's the thing Max...what wars?
Every company that's making trucks has moved on to mid-sized trucks. This would bust the mini-truckin' scene wide open again!

Wanna get really freeky?

This is xB1 Ugly, and cooler than hell at the same time!

check this HAKO OKAH truchamotron.

I've vowed I would never, never own an orange car... but if they make this,
Scion Me Up!!!





[quote="ack154"]Autoblog has an article (from some other website) about a possible Scion pickup for 2010 partially based on the Fuse concept we all saw a while back.



http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/18/2...ds-for-pickup/

[quote]Toyota is on a roll. It's the only manufacturer whose mid-size and full-size pickups sales volumes are both up in 2007. So how to keep the momentum going?

Word has it that Toyota is seriously thinking about giving its youth-oriented Scion brand a small two-door unibody pickup with design DNA based on the Scion Fuse sports coupe concept, seen earlier this year at the New York Auto Show.
