i drive by the scion dealer during my commute...for the past 2 weeks now - NO scions on the lot! Well, just one - a gold xB. What the heck is going on? NO xD's...tC's or xBs! Anyone else seeing a shortage near them?

 

There is probably 2 reasons for this. One is that they're all selling like hotcakes and two, they're likely being replaced with '09s.

 

or 3) there is some weird fog that rolls in and makes all the good cars disapear... Spooky!

 

Ha that's funny. I went by the one local dealer last night and they had one xB and one tC. A week ago they had a ton of both and no xD's(which is normal).

 

WE are selling them like hotcakes where I live already sold a couple of 09's, 2 Rs's adn already resold 1 Superwhite that I know of!Tc's and XD's available

 

I'm having the worst luck trying to find a white or silver Xb manual trans. I've called 8 dealerships none have them. I special ordered one and they said it would be two weeks. I made sure to tell them not to install the front plate.

 

this dealer (up until now) has had at least a handful of xBs, 10+ tC's and xDs...and now - nothing! It just looks like a toyota dealership, no scions.

 

We are just trying to make room for 09's. Don't really want to have the 08's sticking around with 09's coming in. Also with gas prices up as much as they are, anything hitting 30 mpg's is going to sell as soon as it hits the lot. Even Corollas and Yaris' have been hard to get here.

 

$4 gas is going to have some effect.
It is cleaning out the scooter stores here in Champaign.

 

The Honda/Kawasaki shop where my brother works is cleaning up with motorcycle and scooter sales.

 

I might get an old skool elite 80 for kicks...

 

hey at least its $4 for u in IL
here in cali im paying $4.75 gallon
thats for 91 but still

 

Was out to my local dealer for oil change and state inspection the other day and posed the question to a friend of mine who is the sales manager. It seems, at least on the east coast, that there was a strike by the truckers who deliver Scion's/ Toyotas from the Newark/New York port along the east coast. They have already sold about 12, and are waiting delivery. The strike was settled, and saw a truck unloading at the dealer this afternoon.

 

I stopped in at a Toyota/Scion dealer on the way home from the beach today, because I saw an RS1 xD out front, and I wanted to see it up close. I was surprised that the only Scion on the lot other than the xD was one tC. I hope the reason they only had two is that they are hot sellers in light of $4.00 plus gas prices. I have enjoyed my Scion since it was new in Jan. 06, and hope the brand continues to be popular long into the future!!!
