Scion and xD ranked #1

Story (USAToday.com) - Consumer Reports ranks Scion as best brand, and xD as best model. Cool!

I think once the after market support is available modding the xD will become a more popular vehicle to mod.

Actually Lexus is more reliable than Scion is more reliable than Toyota.

OK I cant really back up the scion>toyota thing, HOWEVER I have noted that for SEVERAL years in Consumer Reports, reported defects per 1000 vehicles (or whatever) Lexus leads ANY AND ALL brands/manufacturers in reliability, this i'm sure of.

Now that's just awesome! Even if it's only 1 model year they're testing on, they do have the xA data to extrapolate from as well, given that it's the same platform. Also, the 1.8l is a staple Toyota engine so data extrapolation is viable there.

Japanese products held the top spots for predicted reliability of 2009 models in every vehicle category. Japanese or South Korean brands held the top 10 spots in the separate ranking of full brand lines. Toyota's Scion scored a double: Best brand overall, and its xD model was the top small car.
