Cheesy!

If he dislikes Scion why is he at a dealership and then sitting at home making up a Scion movie??

My thought...he can't afford one so he's a hater!!!




You dont like my Scion, I dont like your jealousy! Even Steven!

Tried to put my 2 cents in with their review....It would not take my comments...so here's what I would've said:

Ten reasons to buy a Scion xb

10. You'll never lose your car in the parking lot
9. (Like People) don't just look on the outside....you gotta look in
8. Scionlife....we're a community!
7. Rated by Road & Track as one of the most fun cars to drive
6. Rated by Edmonds.com as Consumers AND Editors Most Wanted Vehicles for 2005
5. Rated by Edmonds. com as one of the 10 most fuel efficient cars to own
4. Rated by Edmonds.com as "lowest overall ownership cost"
3. Great price, very affordable
2. Toyota makes it....duh
and the #1 reason to buy a Scion xB?
Consumer Reports recommends this car as a good buy

This video is very ordinary. I would not say that the creator does not have a life or is unintelligent because (s)he made this crude video. The truth is a very large number of people are going to hate anything that they are not used to seeing or experiencing. It does not matter whether it is a car, food, music, or a group of people. Putting something down is easy because you will always find followers. I could care less.

I can think of at least four things that suck even more than the box...

His flash skill, microphone, sense of humor, and spelling. It's customary not to eat the microphone while you are recording...

Not just cars, but all the cool electronics, clothes and just about everything else. I had a camera phone in Japan, and bought it back here in 2001 and people said "why would I need a camera on a phone... Now its 2005, and everyone wants 'em here. Meanwhile back overseas they got phones with 5Gb harddrives that you can use to pay your train fare and buy cokes...

I had someone get outta Chrysler 300C last night at a bar I was at and immediately start hatin on my car. He turned his ride into a true Bentley knock-off with a mesh grille and big @$$ chrome rims. He said "thats still the ugliest s*&@ they make into a car" (he didnt know the owner was standing on the other side obviously...) I chimed in, "At least my car KNOWS its a box. Your car is having an identity crisis!"

He spent five hours on that?! And, he said Scion owners would be embarrassed in "open public"? Is there a closed public? Or a private public? He also misspelled ridiculous as "rediculous." And he says Scion owners embarrass themselves?

You know what they say about haters... he's got to be a closet-Scion lover.

That's part of the reason. The other part is a misconception about the general American public in Japan. I have a friend whose girlfriend works for Nissan's corporate dealership finance. Apparently the older executives (when I say older, I mean they've been with Nissan since the 1960's) have a very staid and conservative point of view of what they think America is interested in.

And there is probably that still small minority of the US population that is still angry with Japan over Pearl Harbor - my 80 year old grandmother is one of them; she lost people she was close to in the war - and that is why she has NEVER purchased a Japanese vehicle.

In fact, the two reasons above likely account for a lot of the miscommunication about what Americans want. Older executives making decisions based upon invalid paradigms, firmly rooted in the past that is no more.

Scion's release and Toyota's attention to the "youth" market has helped bring vehicles that many from my generation and older (I'm 34) have wanted to drive for years.

I believe this is where Toyota went amiss with their target and why demographics of Scion purchases have not 100% borne out the assumptions of the "youth" segment buying their vehicles. When I was in jr. high and high school, I raced R/C cars (still do occasionally with my son) and everyone I knew wanted the Tamiya models of japanese touring sedans and off-road vehicles because that seemed to be as close to actually owning a "true" Japanese car that we'd ever get.
