Maybe it's not dead quite yet after all:

July Press Release from Toyota:

For 2013 the Scion xD receives additional driver and front passenger seat cushion airbags and improved one-step force limiters for the seat belts. The 2013 xD speedometer replaces a black gauge face with a white gauge face and revises the trim around the air conditioning control dials and cup holders. The xD exterior is revised with a smoked color headlight housing and an available two- tone exterior paint treatment that combines Blue Streak Metallic and Black Sand Pearl for the roof (pricing TBD). The 2013 Scion xD price has been increased by $400 to $16,545 (AT) and $15,745 (MT) for 2013 (2.5 percent for AT and 2.6 percent for MT). Pricing for the 2013 Scion xD becomes effective August 1.



Since Scion can't change the wheel covers after five years, it cries out for black plastidip wheel covers as well.

I'm not sure how I feel about the two tone, but I'd sure take a set of those smoked headlights. I wonder what type of ridiculous price they'll be from the dealer?

 

No mention of powertrain upgrades. If that is the case, kill it. No car should have a 4-speed auto for the 2013 model year.

 

no car this size should have an auto...

 

A 6-speed auto would make for a perfect daily.

 

even with the upgrades if you can call it that they will continue to sit on dealer lots. im guessing the two tone look is scions way of saying there will be no release series.....

 

Try no 2011 car should. They're already two years late to the party.

 

they better have a smoke headlights ready for parts so late 2012 xD can change there headlights

 

Lol... maybe so... but I'm glad mine does... I still get 32 - 35 MPG in stop and go traffic with the slush box...

 

yup me too. Its the perfect DD car for me. Good on gas and slow enough that I can't get into trouble

 

hmmm i kinda like it!
