spoke with scion corporate manager steve haag while i was there and he said the 2nd gen xB looks nothing like the current gen xb or 2nd gen bB in japan. we talked about future models aside from the current line up and they are in the works.

the reason i'm so interested in what Scion has planned i've passed up going back to toyota three times in the past two years. though it would be a promotion so they say i wouldn't want to be looking from the other side thinking what might have been. i've been with Toyota for 5 years and 3 years with Scion and it took a lot of work to get Scion where its at in my district. plus the only way i would get free trips from toyota is if i had the gm or gsm position, new car managers get didly squat.

just the dealer i'll be working for , a regional scion exec , northern cali toyota exec , and dealers everywhere. as well as every toyota tech i work with for my promotional job.


each model/nameplate gets 3 years of life then dead.

foxtrot,

Have you seen or heard something about it? If anyone has information that they truly know about the next generation cars, post it.
