I was just curious whether people call there car the Scion xA or the Toyota IST. I don't know why, but I have been saying it's a Toyota IST, rather then saying xA.

 

I call my car a Scion xA, however, I get lots of questions from older people asking me what is a Scion, or who makes it? At that point, I explain Scion is a Toyota, and in Japan and other countries where it was sold, it goes by the name Toyota ist . I then explain that Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. wanted to create a youth brand for the American market to primarily target the under 30's age group, and the Scion brand was born in 2003 to achive that goal.

 

One time my friend was like " You got a scion... what a ___" in a jokingly way. and then i was like "Dude, you have a toyota, we are in the same group... actually we are the same. It's call the Toyota IST. Scion is just a branch of Toyota." He got ownd... and we had a couple of beers later. It was a good night.

 

i call it whatever i wanna call it, but mostly i call it "baby" =D

 

I call it mine.

 

"the wagon"
"radio flyer"
"my sex-A"

 

Hahaha. Going to have to steal that one.

 

I probably should have added "Other" as one of the option to pick and see what other people have to say.

 

In English...The Box
In Spanish...La Caja... :D

 

*RoxAnne* thats my baby's name

 

I call my xa 'Ohana. Cuz its just my son and i now.

For those of us who were born 1980-1994. we are Gen Y. and Gen Y is the market that Toyota was going after with the Scion brand.

 

The Scion
or
The xA

 

used to be called the financial burden until i paid it off

 

My wife started calling it "Little Car" and it stuck, everyone calls it that now.

 

no one ever knows what i'm talking about if i try to call it an ist. then again, people usually don't know what i'm talking about when i say xA either..so i just say i have a scion. "oh the box?" no, the other one. "oh the coupe?" no, the other one... "there's another one?"

 

"the doorstop"
"the wedge"

These are things I say when they ask, "Oh is it the box or the coupe?". Nope, it's the doorstop, and then they know which one I'm talking about.

 

ha nice! hadn't thought of that one. i'll give it a try

 

Ha! I've used "The Wedge" before.

Sometimes I refer to it as a cheese slice, and at work it's either "bumper car" or "forkliftable."

 

i call mine " sha-neeka"
