Scion is a sinking ship. . . and I think the 2011 xB is the nail in the coffin. There is no tC replacement yet. The xD is sort of just bleh, and the now ruined the the xB.

hmm, looks odd. I see they added what looks to be a bumper mounted TBL to even out the single reverse light. The front bumper vents and grill design don't look bad, they just don't work well together and the proportions seem off. We'll see how much this changes before going to market.

 

the new tC is rumored to be released at new yorks auto show

 

sooo they swapped the side of the reverse light?

 

thats not a reverse light . thats a red reflector. the reverse lights are in the tail lights now.

 

oh ok i see it now, stil sucks, red reflector built into the bumper. not cool

 

cheap version of the Corolla Rumion. Looks like cra p(but at least my 2010 is last year model before it sucked lol)

 

I like the side scoop on the front bumper, all set for a side mount intercooler.

 

side mount FTL, Ft mount FTW

 

i thought the xb2 was ugly but this thing(xb2.2) is worse than the xb2, i didnt like the first xb2 but compared to this its great, im just not a fan of the face lift

 

This looks like the pix posted of the Aussie xB.

 

RUMORED. 1 year till auto show. . . plus another year to market = 2 more years on the market with a car that's already very aged. . .


I've been around since the very beginning, and I feel lied to by Scion. The original mission was to bring cool funky cars and give them short shelf lives so they stay original. It was supposed to be no more than 3 years. It looks like the tC will be in production for almost a decade. Customization was supposed to be big, but all we really see are stickers and stick on body parts. And then the reserve series have turned into a complete joke... the xB1 was ruined. And now the xB2 is heading off the reservation too. I feel as if the nobody in the company is paying attention to what the consumers want.

 

Looks like they added a pig snout to the front, and a bubble butt to the rear: for the TOTAL loss.

Now that I think about it, it might look good with some kind of 5Axis lip kit dropped to the ground on air bags, but stock height looks terrible.

 

I'll will make it look good for all those that dont like it.. I pulled it off the first time around i can do it HANA HOU! One more time! Conversion Comming! Stay tuned

With some High end wheels "not no Sport max or cheapo wheels, AIR Ride and some sick parts from Forjworks.. i'll change all your minds..

 

I know you will Marshall, but we can't all afford $4-6k in upgrades.

 

fail.

1st gen ftw

 

I said the same thing in 2007

Seriously though, if it's based on a Japanese counterpart, it's only going to be around 1 year or so longer than it is in Japan. The bB went out of production in 2005, the xB in early 2007. The Rumion came out in 07, the xB2 in '08. The Japanese version will probably run through '11, so you're looking at a xB2 through 2012.

tC2 will be out hopefully soon, and the iQ is already scheduled for this year (spring maybe?). No clue on the xD or what will replace it, Toyota (and the rest of the car industry) had a bad two years and during financial crisis most companies aren't dumping $$ into new models, Ford is looking a lot better but that's only because they're bringing the models they've had in Europe for 2 years stateside (new Focus, Festiva, etc.) How long has the Crysler 300 been around?

 

Dude.. the auto show is in like 2 weeks. In NY. New tC and iQ to debut. tC to market end of this year.

What have you been reading?

 

Makes my 08 look amazing lol. Scion is pure fail as of late.

I don't think it's that bad, at least not as bad as you are making it out to be... I'm not sure what you guys are whining about. Still looks like an xB. I'm sure they're sorry it is not exactly what you would like it to be... but that's business.
